Camping Q. Is there a quiet camping area?

A. Yes. Getting on site early (but after 9am on Thursday when the gate opens) means better pitches. Quiet camping is at the back of the main camping field.

A. You can only put one small tent next to your campervan. This is due to fire safety regulations.

A. No. We want to minimize vehicle movement on site, you can’t bring your vehicle into the camping field.

Q. I’ve heard there’s no Big Green Gathering this year, is Sunrise a good alternative?

A. Sunrise is a great alternative to the BGG, we’re just as Green. Because of the main stage and style of programming it tends to have more of a party atmosphere, balanced by the plethora of activities like workshops, kid stuff, sacred elements and what have you. Really, in terms of level of content, there’s not anything else out there like it - we believe. But that’s us. Come see for yourself.
