To spend the night at the Tønder Festival camping area, you must either
1) buy a camping ticket for your own caravan, tent etc.
or
2) book accommodation in one of Tønder Festival's accommodation units.
Once that's done, you need to keep track of how many people will be staying overnight in your unit. All guests staying overnight in the camping area must purchase a personal camp ticket.
When both the camping ticket/booking and the correct number of personal camp tickets have been added to the basket, you must decide whether you need electricity for your device.
Note: Electricity can no be purchased for Tønder Festival's accommodation units.
Personal camping: This ticket must be purchased by all guests who wish to spend the night at Tønder Festival's camping area. Guests are allowed to visit, but they may not spend the night in the camping area.

Electricity ticket: If you want to have electricity for your device, remember to purchase an additional electricity ticket for your unit. Please note that there is not electricity on all of the camping area and this will therefore have an impact on the location of your unit. Tent areas (sold at a reduced price) do not have the option of electricity.
Tønder Festival has approx. 1,200 power outlets in the camping area. A power outlet allows you to connect your unit to the electricity network. Electrocity tickets may sell out.

When you drive off, you will come straight down to Camping Info, where you will be shown your accommodation by our volunteers.
If you prefer to camp close to your neighbours without intervening cars, then our car-free area is the place for you. At a lower price, it is a bit cheaper to camp here than in the rest of the camp site. The area is not extensive, so tickets are limited. If you arrive by car, there is a special car park alongside.
You'll find the car-free area centrally placed on the camp site.
