Camping & Camping Plus
The Isle of Wight Festival Weekend ticket allows you to camp all weekend in our 180 acre campsite that runs alongside the River Medina. When you arrive, follow the arches through the campsite, pick a field and pitch your tent. All the fields are named after colours so it’s easy to find your way back to your tent at the end of the night.
The Campsite opens on Thursday 18th June 2026 and closes at 2pm on Monday 22nd June 2026. Opening times are subject to health and safety inspections and we work hard to open gates on time, but please bear with us if there are any delays. The Car Park gates open from 0600 on Thursday 19th June. Regular camping is freely available to everyone with a weekend festival ticket, no reservations required. The options below and in the Boutique Camping page are optional extras that need booking or reserving.
There will be Stewards and Security to help you if you have any questions. Alternatively, drop in to see our Welfare team on the Campsite if you need them.
There are loos, drinking water and showers in the Campsite. There are also a number of food outlets and bars to enjoy before you head in for the main entertainment.
LOVE YOUR TENT
Love Your Tent is the original, premium luxury, sustainable and environmentally driven festival camping initiative, offering a private, immaculate field with lovely clean hot showers, vacuum toilets, our private café serving delicious cooked meals, hot drinks and snacks, the Love Your Tent pamper parlour, our exclusive secret stage and a safe, secure camping experience throughout the festival.
Please note that you will need a Love Your Tent field entry ticket in addition to your Festival Weekend Camping Ticket.
When you book with us we provide a reserved, pre-marked out pitch for your tent in the Love Your Tent field.
In order to stay with us, you commit to take you tent and all of your belongings home with you after the festival by agreeing to the Love Your Tent terms and conditions at the point of purchase. This means that you really must take it home and not just pack it up and dump it outside!
WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO STAY WITH US:
- One Love Your Tent Ticket for each person staying with us. Each ticket must have the individual camper’s name on it.
- One Isle of Wight Festival Weekend Camping Ticket for each person staying with us.
- One refundable Tent Deposit Ticket of £30 for each tent that your party brings along. This will be returned once you have taken both your tent and belongings away with you after the festival.
If you have questions, or are unsure of how to book, you can email us at any time on [email protected]
We look forward to welcoming you to our field in 2026!

Located in the Campsite
New for 2025 When Nature Calls will be operating their "Cleaned after every use” loo and shower facilities, situated in the heart of the main campsite. Fresh water flushing vacuum loos with individual sinks, hot showers and pamper area - featuring Dyson hairdryers and GHD straighteners/curling wands, are housed under a giant stretch tent. Oh and did we mention the Molton Brown handwash?
RESPECT CAMPING
With a record number of early applications Respect Camping is now full for 2026. We'll add a waiting list on the link below shortly in case of any cancellations.
Respect is very popular at the festival and our space is limited, so please read the following instructions carefully in order to successfully reserve space in Respect:
Respect is free of charge at the point of booking, however we can only accept bookings of up to a maximum of **8** persons/tickets. Everyone coming along needs to have a separate entry ticket in their own name, and we can only accept a maximum of **one tent** per booking. So for instance, a booking for five people needs five tickets, one in each of their names and then requires selection of the size of the tent they are bringing and so on. Please only bring a tent for the size of your party. No ten-man tents for two people please as you will not be allowed into the field or asked to leave.
Duplicate bookings cause a huge amount of admin, as well as depriving others from accessing the field. **Any bookings that are deemed to be duplicates, or have a selection of the same names in, will not be honoured and will automatically be deleted.**
Due to the high demand for space, we cannot accommodate gazebos under any circumstances, so if you bring one, you will be asked to take it down or it will be removed by us.
You need to read and agree to our terms and conditions for Respect Camping and most important of all, you must agree to take your tent and all of your belongings home with you after the event.
Every person camping with us needs a ticket in their own name and will need to provide photographic, up to date ID at the point of check in with us.
To be fair to everyone and to prevent any attempted selling of space, as well as prevent bookings where a reservation is made early and then names changed prior to the event, you will be only able to change names on individual entry tickets if you pay an admin fee of £20 (plus VAT and fees) for each named ticket.
We cannot accept any name changes after the 15th May 2026.
Similarly, we also cannot change all names in a booking.
Good luck and hope to see you there.

You need to have Isle of Wight Festival Weekend tickets for every one in the party coming along before booking space in Respect.
FAMILY CAMPING
With a record number of early applications Family Camping is now full for 2026. We'll add a waiting list on the link below shortly in case of any cancellations.
The Family Campsite offers a quieter camping area for you to enjoy safe in the knowledge you're camping among other family groups and you must agree to take your tent and all belongings with you when you leave.
Family Camping is very popular at the festival and our space is limited, so please read the following instructions carefully before you book:
A family group is considered to be 1 or more responsible adults looking to camp together with children. This may include parents, other family members or friends who are coming along to assist with childcare. Each booking must include children. For the sake of everyone's needs, please don't abuse this as you will be removed from the field if you do not follow these rules.
You won't be allowed to arrive at the campsite and set up in advance of your party arriving. There is enough space allocated for the number of bookings we take. **Please do not arrive without your children as you will not be allowed to set up.**
Family is free of charge at the point of booking; however, we can only accept bookings of up to a maximum of 8 tickets. Everyone coming along needs to have a separate entry ticket in their own name, and we can only accept a maximum of one tent per booking. So for instance, a booking for five people needs five separate tickets, one in each of their names and then requires selection of the size of the tent they are bringing which will then be printed on the tickets you will receive. Please only bring a tent for the size of your party. No ten-man tents for two people as you will be removed from the field.
Duplicate bookings cause a huge amount of administration as well as depriving others from accessing the field. Any bookings that are deemed to be duplicates, or have a selection of the same names in, will not be honoured and will automatically be deleted.
Due to the high demand for space, we cannot accommodate gazebos under any circumstances, so if you bring one, you will be asked to take it down or it will be removed by us.
You need to read and agree to our terms and conditions for Family Camping which are detailed on our booking page.
Every adult camping with us needs a ticket in their own name and will need to provide photographic ID at the point of check in with us. This needs to be genuine. There are several mobile safe options within the festival which are provided by third parties for minimum cost.
To be fair to everyone and to prevent any attempted re-selling of space, as well as prevent bookings where a reservation is made early and then names changed prior to the event, you will be only able to change names on individual entry tickets if you pay an administration fee of £20 (plus VAT and fees) for each named ticket.
We cannot accept any name changes after the 15th May 2026.
Similarly, we also cannot change all names in a booking.
Good luck and hope to see you there.
