There will be no single day passes available.

If attending both weekends, all of these tickets must be purchased twice - the event ticket, car passes, vehicle camping passes, etc. 

If you have two weekend event passes, you have free access to stay on the site on the 19th, 20th and 21st (the days between events)

Where do we stay?

Every ticket includes free camping on-site. If you would prefer to stay off-site at accomodation in Lower Hutt or Wellington and leave each night, you must purchase a car-pass  (check 'How much is Camp' above) then you can come and go as you please. Any driver leaving the site after 6pm will be breath-tested upon leaving site, if failed, you’ll need to sleep under the stars at Camp.

For the first time, I’ll be making available the option of paying extra to have a tent all set up and ready for you when you arrive. These can either be fully set-up with mattress and bedding, or just an empty tent and you can bring your own gear. These will be on sale with tickets in April and I'm sure will make the experience much easier for many of you. We'll have everything setup and waiting for you when you arrive.

Below prices cover all four nights of the event. (Click here to see an image of the tent you can expect)

Empty tent (max 3 persons): $365

Empty  tent (max 5 persons): $450

Furnished tent - includes: mattress(es), fitted sheet, duvet(s), pillow, lighting (2 persons): $565

Furnished  tent - includes: mattress(es), fitted sheet, duvet(s), pillow, lighting (4 persons):  $700

These prices do not include a ticket to the event, these are add-on prices :) You don't have to rush to purchase these or purchase along with your ticket. You can take your time.

If you are planning on attending both weekends, you must purchase one of these for each weekend (however, you are welcome to stay in your tent the 19th, 20th and 21st no charge)

Food and drinks?

There will be a great selection of food vendors on-site and our Camp Store will also be selling snacks and non-alcoholic drinks. You are welcome to bring your own food and beverages as always. There are cooking facilities available on site but these will be popular so you may have to be patient. You can borrow pots and pans and some plates/cutlery from the Camp Store for $20 deposit (you receive back one you return everything fresh and clean). We will have regular buses shuttling people 5-mins down the road to Homedale Village to the shops (which include a Four Square, fish & chips, bakery, a dairy and Chinese takeaways)  for supplies every hour on the hour between 11am and 7pm. No alcohol is sold onsite.

To keep your supplies chill over the weekend, we will be selling bags of ice onsite from the Camp Store, though these must be pre-ordered - we’ll give all ticket holders plenty of advance notice on how to order ice. Bring your own chilly bin. There is a fire ban on-site so no gas cookers etc are allowed outdoors. You may bring a portable electric stove (ie, like these and use in the kitchen - if the existing stoves are already being used).

No glass is allowed onsite. For those wanting to bring beverages in glass, please prepare in advance, for example cans, goons or transferring before coming to plastic receptacles like fit for purpose plastic bottles. A little bit of planning and I'm sure you can work it out :)

There will be plenty of access to free drinking water onsite. Bring a reusable bottle with you, or you can buy one from the Camp Store.

Vendors should have  eftpos though it is a good idea to bring plenty of cash.

If I'm tenting for four nights, how am I going to charge my phone?

I'd really love to encourage people to try stay off their phones as much as possible during the event, and the reason you won't see a 'Camp App' or the timetable provided in digital form is I know from so much experience at events, every time you look at your phone to check what is happening, a cheeky minute or two checking your sites is always tempting. 

I don't want to be an egg though, I myself always need to have a phone handy and understand how frustrating it can be to not have access to power. You'll be able to charge your phone in the Camp Store - just $2 for a 4 hour charge (bring you own charging cable).

By Car? Use Googlemaps (203 Coast Road, Wainuiomata) It’s easy, you can’t miss it. Directions will be sent out prior to event, but it’s simple to find. 

30mins from Wellington CBD. 7.5 hours if coming from Auckland. 

Public transport? Use Metlinks' Journey Planner - enter your starting point (ie: suburb address, Wellington Airport, Train Station, Ferry Terminal, etc ) and then enter Woburn Station as your destination. The app will spit out the info you need, ie: to get from Wellington Airport to Woburn station will require one transfer at Wellington Railway Station, cost a total of $7 per adult and take around 1 hour.

I will have free buses collecting people from Woburn Station and taking to Camp at the following times:

Thursday Feb 15th (week 1) and 22nd (week 2): 2:30pm, 3:15pm, 4pm, 4:35pm, 5:15pm, 6pm, 6:40pm, 7:30pm, 8:30pm, 9.30pm

This trip will take around 20mins. You’ll receive your wristband and booklet on the bus and so when arrive at site you immediately disembark and get set-up. 

We will then have buses continually taking people from the site on Monday morning to Woburn Station from 9am on the 19th (week 1) and 26th (week 2).

A few weeks out from event I will email everybody further detailed information on this. 

Carpooling. Offer a ride, find a ride, or join a waitlist here: https://www.groupcarpool.com/t/7jf3tm

Shuttle Van If coming with a crew, you could share a shuttle, these are very cost effective. The cost of 9-11 people sharing a shuttle from the Airport (for example) to Camp will cost around $165-180. (less than $20 each) supershuttle.co.nz, || airportshuttleswellington.co.nz || taxis.co.nz/our-services/Shuttles.html || holidaytaxis.com/en/transfers/new-zealand/wellington-international-airport - Book these early including your return trip to not miss out. The address to give them for Camp is: 203 Coast Road, Wainuiomata.

Taxi There are also plenty of taxi companies that service the Hutt Valley/Wainuiomata - if you have an emergency and need to get back to Wellington, the cost of a taxi from Camp to the CBD will be around $80. 

Uber service the area, its around $50 if coming all the way from the city, from Woburn Station is around $25. If you need to get an Uber late at night, maybe book in advance.

Still stuck? Getting to camp is easy. If you are not able to arrange a carpool or you miss the time slots of our free buses, you can always jump on a Route 170 bus from Queensgate in Lower Hutt - jump off at Homedale Village and hang by the Four Square. You’ll see campers coming and going all day, plus we’ll have a shuttle going to and from there to camp every hour from 11am-7pm on the 23, 24th and 25th, so just jump on that.

We’d really encourage you to using public transport. Other than for the obvious environmental reasons, the amount of people who lose their car keys every year always blows me away.
