Minimising the environmental impact of We Out Here is a core focus for the whole team. Please help keep the land beautiful and this event sustainable by leaving no trace.

The General and Family campsites are side-by-side and just a short walk from the public car park and arena (depending on where you're camped 5 – 20 minutes).

The family campsite is suggested as a more child-friendly space, however there are no facilities or parking specific to this campsite.

The Live-in campsite is close by General and Family and also only a short walk to the arena. The Live-in campsite is open to powered vehicles or towed trailers with obvious sleeping facilities that require no further infrastructure to be used for the purpose of sleeping (eg. tent). Cars/trucks may be used as towing vehicles, but are not permitted as stand alone 'live-ins''.

Facilities for these campsites are shared and will include:

• Toilets – please respect the facilities to help our cleaning teams ensure a pleasant experience for all campers.
• Showers – don't forget your own towels and toiletries!
• Water points – don't forget your reusable water bottles!
• Waste and recycling points – collect, separate and deposit your waste in our recycling points. Keep your campsite clean and leave no trace!
• Staffing and security – festival staff and security will keep an eye on the campsites to help promote a safe, community feel to your temporary home. If you are unsure about anything, talk to them, they are there to help!
• Campsite Hub – festival staff will be available via the Campsite Hub.
• Note that there are no power or water hook ups available in the Live In Campsite.

Whether you're staying in general, family, boutique, live-in or accessible camping, there are a few rules that you are asked to respect to ensure the campsites are a safe and welcoming home for everyone:

• No gas powered cooking stoves over 220g permitted, all stoves must be purpose built and used in designated cooking areas only

We've suggested some top tips below to help you and your fellow campers look after yourselves and your belongings:

• Get to know your neighbours. Look out for each other.
• Leave your valuables at home or in our lockers. Not in your tent. Or in your car.
• Don't make it easy for thieves to find your belongings – spread your valuables out rather than keeping them in one bag / pocket.
• Use the on-site lockers.
• Don't carry large amounts of cash. Cash machines are available and bars / traders accept card payments.
• Leave your car glove box empty and open to deter thieves.

If you are concerned about anything, witness, or are victim to a crime or antisocial behaviour, it is important that you report it immediately to festival staff or security. They are there to help. The more information you can give us, the better chance we have of coordinating an efficient and effective response.
