  5. Camping at Bristol Volksfest:
    Camping Pitch Pass / Vehicle Pass:
    Each camping pitch must have a Camping Pitch Pass to enter the site. One Camping Pitch Pass is for campervans, cars and all types of VW Vehicles including VW Motorhomes.
    1 Camping Pitch Pass = 1 Vehicle Pass.

    There is an additional fee for Caravans, non VW Motorhomes, Trailer Tents. If you are bringing one of these please make sure you book it in advance to avoid additional charges on the gate.

    If you or your family/group plan to bring an additional vehicle, we recommend that you book an Extra Car Pass and park it in the general car park. This helps us to save unnecessary use of space in the campsites and will also save you money.
    Weekend Camping Tickets:
    In addition to a Camping Pitch Pass you will need to book a weekend camping ticket for each person attending. Camping is included in the weekend ticket price. Child tickets can only be purchased with an adult ticket. Children aged 4 and under are free and do not require a ticket for entry.

  6. Day Visitors:
