Camping & Festival
When is the campsite opened?
The Camping gates open 12-09-2022 at 12:00 PM and close 20-09-2022 at 12:00 PM.
Is there no meat for sale on the festival?
-We no longer want to be any part of the current meat industry and have thus decided to become a 100% vegetarian festival. For some of you that may take some getting used to, but we encourage you to try out all the great vegetarian foods that we have to offer. If you really can't survive one week without meat, then you are welcome to cook up your own meat on the campsites of course.
Can I make a campfire on the campsite?
-Because of safety issues you can’t make fires on the campsite, fires can burn underground here for days. There are fires on the festival’s beaches. You can use gass stoves and bbq's if you like. For now there is still a code red in place which means that fires are not allowed anywhere in the country. We hope that the current rainfall will change that.
Are there day or weekend tickets?
-There are no day tickets for sale for the 2022 edition. However, we do sell tickets at the gates if we are not sold out. Ticket prices will drop in the weekend, we'll keep you posted on that.
Is there sound at night?
Yes there is!
These are the hours where all stages are open and blasting away :)
- Wednesday 08:00 - 23:00
- Thursday 08:00 - 23:00
- Friday 08:00 - 01:00
- Saturday 09:00 - 01:00
- Sunday 13:00 - 23:00
The chill-out and alternative stage will keep going on ALL NIGHT. We do have to reduce the volume in the night though. We no longer offer headphones in the night. You could also join the jam stage where acoustic performances will be held all night.
If a lower volume is not your thing, then you can always just wonder around, meet people, sit by a fire on the beach, explore the bazaar or take your time to really look at the art in the art space, get lost in the ambient forests or have a good rest and prepare yourself for the next long day that lays ahead of you.
We would also like to encourage you to bring your own instruments and jam whenever and where ever you like.
We wish you great days and nights, whichever way you choose to spend them.
Where do we leave our trash?
-At Psy-Fi we care for the Environment.
We are a very big group of party people and we do leave a lot of trash behind. That is why we have joined forces with the PsyClean Crew since the very first edition. With their team of around 70 volunteers they will take care of a super clean festival. But we need your involvement as a visitor!
At the entrance you will receive a portable ashtray for free. Please use it for your cigarette buds, never throw them onto the ground! We don’t want them to poison the groundwater or animals of this beautiful land, do we?
Every visitor receives a garbage bag at the entrance. At the end of the festival we ask you to put as much trash as you can find into the bag and deposit it at one of our trash collection points. This way you can help us and the festival to keep the nature around us nice and clean.
If you have full trashbags that you want to get rid of during the festival, you can put them alongside the roads on the campsite and we will pick them up for you. (preferably next to a garbage bin).
If you run out of garbage bags, you can always get a new one for free at the info point.
All the trash we collect gets machine sorted behind the scenes by the recycle company, so you can be sure that cans, plastic, paper and organic waste are all properly recycled.
Thank you in advance for helping us to make our festival a cleaner experience. :)
Is there a lost and found?
-During the campsite opening hours you can turn to our info point and check if you see your belongings there :) If you have found an item on the festival then you can bring it to the info point. Thank you for your honesty and taking care of each others belongings.
Are our own food/drinks allowed on the campsite and festival grounds?
-Yes, but on the festival only plastic bottles are allowed for drinks, no cans or glass because of many people walking on bare feet. You can only bring in plastic bottles, no glass or cans. Please respect these rules as people can get seriously hurt from cans and glass.
Is there a family camping?
-No, but most of the campsite is quiet,
Especially on the far corners of the campsites.

-No, but he/she can camp with you on the visitors campsite.
Can you camp next to your car?
-We have a great shortage of space to park all 4000 cars and we don’t like our campsites to look like one giant car park but rather like the beautiful nature camping that it is. Parking on the campsite is therefor not possible.
Are dogs and other pets allowed on the camp site and festival?
-No, we did allow it for the first 4 editions, resulting in the abandonment of many dogs. Some of them were adopted and others went to the animal shelter. There were also many biting incidents and we've had to break in to cars when dogs were left there in the boiling sun. We feel that a crowded music festival with lots of noise is not the best place for your pet. So please leave your pet at home with a good babysitter :)
