There is a designated parking field at 10-15 minutes walking distance from the entrance. It is not possible nor allowed to take your car onto the campsite. Parking tickets must be purchased beforehand in the ticket shop.
For safety reasons, sleeping in your car is prohibited.

On Thursday, it is not allowed to:
- Make a lot of noise in any way, e.g. raving, screaming, etc.
- Set up your party tent (wait until Friday 20:00 until most people have arrived and found a spot)
Note: you need one Thursday Access ticket per person.
The first time you enter, you can bring:
- Up to 8 liters of drinks, of which maximum 4 liters of alcohol (no stronger than 15%) in unopened, non-glass containers
- For example: 2 sixpacks of 0.33cl beers + 4L bottle of soda
- Unlimited food (not for commercial purposes)
When you leave Liquicity Festival campsite and re-enter again, you can bring food with you, but you cannot bring any drinks (alcoholic or non-alcoholic). You can refill water for free at water stations on the campsite or festival site.
Please note: any drinks exceeding the allowed limit will be confiscated by security.
Bring your own tent and gear or buy a pre-arranged tent in the ticket shop that’s ready upon arrival. Follow campsite crew instructions while setting up your tent to optimize space usage in each field.
Pre-arranged rental tents can be found at Camping Field 2 and can’t be moved, except the pick-up LiquiciTents which you can set-up anywhere you like. Collect rental tent tickets at the Camping Field 2 check-in desk.
Pre-arranged tents will be fully set up on Thursday for people with a valid Thursday Early Access ticket.
To make sure there is enough room for everyone, campsite spots cannot be reserved for others arriving later. This first-come, first-serve approach guarantees everyone will have enough space. For groups wanting to camp together but arriving separately, you can secure a spot by booking the Friends Zone product.
We see more and bigger party tents every year taking up considerable space on the campsite. To ensure everyone has room and to avoid having to ban gazebos like other festivals, we ask that you:
- Wait setting up your gazebo until Friday 20:00
- Limit to one party tent per group
This helps us all enjoy the festival together! <3
If you want to camp together but cannot arrive together, reserve your spot with a Friends Zone.
The Friends Zones are located in different fields:
- Campsite 3 – Check-in at the Friends Zone desk on Campsite 3
- Campsite 4 – Check-in at the Friends Zone desk on Campsite 4
- Campsite 5 – Check-in at the Pre-Arranged desk on Campsite 2
This area is for you to fill with tents, so if you want to camp in your Friends Zone with more people, go for it!
This year, there will be a dedicated area for solo travelers on Campsite 3 again! The solo traveler area is open for everyone, solo travelers can also set up camp somewhere else.
Solo Travelers can pick up a Solo Traveler wristband for free at the camping shop. Additionally, there are several community meetups at the Community Hub on the festival site.
On all campsites (except for the silent area located on campsite 5), sleeping hours begin at 02:00 and end at 09:00. Portable speakers are not allowed during this time, and we ask that you keep noise to a minimum.
On the silent area on campsite 5, portable speakers are prohibited at all times and quiet conversation is encouraged. Although the campsite crew tries to enforce these rules, expect some inevitable noise.
Pro tip: Use wax earplugs, found at most supermarkets (or the camping shop).
Portable speakers longer than 25cm are not allowed at Liquicity Festival and will be confiscated by security on entry.
Because the Liquicity Festival campsite fields are used by horses all year, glass is not allowed at Liquicity Festival. This means you cannot bring any glass onto the campsite/festival (e.g. peanut butter jars, wine bottles, etc.)
Bringing your own food is allowed. There will be plenty of options for purchasing food and drinks on both the campsite and festival site. It’s forbidden to sell any goods, services, or items on Liquicity Festival.
Gas barbecues and refrigerators are not allowed. You can bring a disposable barbecue and a small gas stove (using maximum 250-gram bottles) only to be used above a paving stone, which you can borrow (and please return!) at the camping shop. Other open fire is not allowed.
When entering the festival area from the campsite, you may only bring personal items, empty hardcups, and empty plastic bottles. Bringing food, containers, cans, glass, or other items from the campsite into the festival grounds is not permitted.
Showers are available on the campsite at two different locations. It is usually very busy in the morning and around noon, so it is recommended to shower outside of this time window to avoid queues. To stimulate this, showering costs less in the night and more in the morning.
If rain is predicted, we suggest bringing a poncho. While small umbrellas are allowed at the campsite area, they are prohibited in the festival area for safety reasons. Keep an eye on the forecast and bring sunscreen! The campsite has a swimming pool and hot tubs. Swimming in natural waters is not permitted.
- Only campers, caravans and tent trailers that meet the requirements mentioned in the road traffic act and the vehicle regulations are permitted.
- Your vehicle cannot be longer than 7.5 meters.
- It is not allowed to place a tent on the ground next to your campervan. These tents can be set up in a camping field nearby. The towing car of a caravan must be removed from the campsite immediately after disconnecting and can be parked in the regular car parking (a separate parking ticket is needed).
- Your campervan can only enter once: it is not possible to leave and re-enter. Furthermore, you can only enter and leave during general opening hours. You are allowed to have a filled water tank, the contents of which will be checked. Other than that, all the regular rules apply (e.g. no glass, maximum 4L drinks per person on first entry, max 15% alcohol).
- Depending on your ticket, you may have access to a 220v power point. Make sure to bring your own power cable of ±25 meters.
- Gas installations with separate removable gas cylinders in campers, caravans and/or tent trailers are not permitted due to fire regulations. Only gas installations with fixed non-removable built-in gas tanks are permitted. For campers and APK-obligatory caravans with such fixed gas installations, a recently (max. 1 year old) APK inspection report must be shown. For caravans without an APK inspection that do have such fixed gas installations, a recent (up to 2 years old) gas inspection G607 must be shown. Without one of these inspection documents, it is only allowed to carry small gas bottles (max 190 grams) for single use.
The camping shop is located on the campsite and provides items such as camping equipment, electric pumps, basic food and drinks, beer, phone chargers, personal care products, and serves as an information desk. The camping shop is open 24/7.
E-Lockers are available while stock lasts at the campsite and can be purchased online in advance, or during the festival in the locker tent (QR codes) or camping shop (cash/card). Use them to store your valuable personal belongings such as passports, wallets, or cameras.
The lockers are located near the festival entrance.
Electricity and power sockets are not available on the campsite. There will be some service points to charge your phone, but we recommend you bring a power bank.
All medication and supplements must be new in unopened packaging. If possible, please bring it in the original box/container sealed. Please also bring along a doctor’s note for any prescribed medication.
If you have any accessibility needs, please contact us beforehand so we can do our best to make sure you will have an amazing time.
