Slam Dunk Festival 2027 – Camping Terms & Conditions

1. Introduction and Camping Dates

1.1 These Camping Terms and Conditions ("Camping Terms") apply to all campers at Slam Dunk Festival 2027 (the "Festival") and form part of your ticket contract with Slam Dunk (the "Organiser"). They sit alongside the Festival's general ticket terms and the venue's site rules.
1.2 By buying a camping ticket, entering a campsite or pitching a tent, you agree to follow these Camping Terms and to make sure everyone in your group does too.
1.3 Camping is available only on the dates and at the times below. Camping outside these times is not permitted.
Slam Dunk Festival North Camp Site and Camping Car Parks open Friday 28th May 4pm / Closes Sunday 30th May 12pm

1.4 A camping ticket is valid only for the site named on it (North or South)

2. Age Restrictions - 18+ Only

2.1 The campsites are strictly 18+. Everyone staying in a campsite must be 18 or over on the day they arrive. No exceptions are made for children or young people accompanied by an adult.
2.2 You must hold a valid camping ticket for the correct site and dates. A festival day ticket alone does not entitle you to camp.
2.3 Challenge 25 will be in operation.  You may be asked for photo ID showing your date of birth (passport, photocard driving licence or PASS-accredited card) at the campsite entrance or at any time while camping. If you cannot show valid ID, you may be refused entry or asked to leave without a refund.
2.4 Anyone found to be under 18 in a campsite will be asked to leave, and no refund will be given. Anyone who buys camping on behalf of a person under 18 does so in breach of these terms.

3. Arrival, Departure and Site Access
3.1 Campsites open at the times in clause 1.3. Please do not queue or park near the site before then, and follow directions from stewards and traffic management staff.
3.2 Leave No Trace.  You must leave the campsite and take all your belongings and rubbish with you by the closing time in clause 1.3. Vehicles and equipment left after closing may be removed and disposed of at your expense.

3.3 All customers must present their festival entry ticket and their campsite entry tickets upon arrival to the campsite.  All customers MUST have both a festival admission ticket AND a camping ticket to enter the campsite.  Staff will scan both tickets upon entry and issue wristbands.

3.4 Customers cannot collect wristbands on other customers' behalf.  When tickets are scanned, the wristbands must be issued to the person present at the time of scanning.
3.5 Wristbands must be worn at all times in the campsite and shown on request. Lost or cut-off wristbands may not be replaced.
3.6 All people and belongings are subject to search on entry and at any time inside the campsite. Anyone who refuses a search will be refused entry.
3.7 The Organiser may close, restrict or move any part of a campsite at any time for safety, security, weather or ground-condition reasons.
3.8 Arrival instructions for all arrival methods (pick-up/drop-off, car parking and campervan pitches) will be sent out before the events.  Follow these carefully and do not share them online.  If you have purchased a campervan pitch or camping parking ticket, you will need to have these on display on your windscreen before your arrival.
