Welcome to the John Smith Rock Festival campsite!
It is said that a genuine festival experience is gained only after one has spent the festival staying in a tent or caravan. No further comments on this argument, our camping accommodation is a very good option! We strive to plan the campsite with customers in mind so that the accommodation would be smooth and safe for everyone who arrives.

Campsite areas
John Smith Rock Festival campsite is temporarily built just for festival accommodation and it consists two separate areas. These areas are Camp Sarcophagus (tent-area), and Planet Karavan (caravan area) on a field. Both campsite areas are near, just a few hundred meters from the festival area.
The campsite is only for the John Smith Rock Festival customers. In other words, you can only access the campsites with the festival wristband and personal camping wristband.
