Tickets

The Main Campsite

Split into General Camping and Late & Loud Camping, general camping covers the majority of the field but we've allocated the area just over the wall from the Bass Camp Dance Village and the Axis Sound System Reggae Tent as Late & Loud. These areas are open until 05.00 each morning so we felt it better to give you some warning, however, if you want to party into the night and sleep during the day, this area would be ideal.

The Quiet Campsite

As the name suggests it's not for those who want to party all weekend, but is ideal for anyone who wants to retire at the end of the evening and doesn't want to be disturbed by their neighbours. It is worth remembering that Wickerman is a music festival and as such background noise should be expected. Please don't camp in this area if you want a lively weekend as you run the risk of being asked to move.

Please note that it is not possible to reserve space in the above two campsites, if you are unsure of how to locate either campsite please ask one of the stewards on site. If you would like some help to move your belongings between the car and campsite and then back to the car on Sunday why not check out our Sherpa service.

Bringing A Caravan, Campervan or Trailer Tent

If you would like to bring a caravan, campervan or trailer tent, we have room to accommodate you too. In fact our caravan/campervan/trailer tent field is divided into two areas, general and family, information on each can be found below.

    "After a week of big clouds & even bigger storms, as the weekend broke, so did the cycle of thunder & lightning, leaving only brazing sunshine & clear blue skie"
