THE LOCAL RULES
Of course, the main rule at a festival is: be nice to each other and have as much fun as possible! Drink enough water – especially when it's hot outside - and don't forget to eat! Get to know your neighbours on the campsite and keep an eye on each other's stuff. Don't do anything to other people that you wouldn't appreciate yourself. In short: make sure it's a great party! And please stick to the few rules we have summed up below.
CAMPSITE:
Open: Friday 6 July 11 am to Monday 9 July 12 am

Tickets are sold throughout the festival at the campsite entrance. You have to book a spot via the site and you have to bring the mail message confirming your booking.
Don't bring: Generator sets, gas systems or large gas bottles (only small blue disposable bottles), ghetto blasters (simple transistor radios are allowed), glass, charcoal barbecues, wood, fire works, lamp oil, weapons.

This campsite is intended exclusively for recreational vehicles, campers, caravans and folding caravans with official Government Road Transport Agency registration, so permanently or temporarily converted vehicles such as vans, estate cars/station wagons with mattresses etc. will not be admitted! All vehicles will be registered on arrival; if you leave your caravan or camper behind after the festival, the costs of removal will be charged to you.
You are allowed to put up one awning or a small tent per vehicle. Cars will not be admitted to the campsite. People who bring a (folding) caravan will be given the possibility to park it as instructed by the campsite attendants, after which they will have to move their car off the campsite. The car park is within walking distance (300 metres).
The camper site only has chemical toilets and 1 water tap point; all other sanitary facilities can be found on the regular campsite.
Note: There is no electricity on the camper site and generator sets are not allowed.
Overall festival regulations:
Alcohol: we do not serve alcoholic beverages to people who are under 16! An ID may be requested.
Security: Although surveillance in the form of security cameras, security staff and police is in force on the entire grounds, we would like to advise you of the following: don't bring any valuable stuff that you don't need to the festival; leave it at home; don't leave it in your car or tent!
Crowd-surfing: Is and has been prohibited for many years.
Narcotics: Carrying or dealing in illegal substances such as narcotic drugs is forbidden under Dutch law. The police and members of the Bospop organisation will be searching luggage, cars, caravans and campers for such substances. The Dutch Justice Department tolerates up to 5 grams of soft drugs a person.
Photography / video and audio recordings: Filming (using a handycam etc.) is allowed on the campsites, but is not allowed on the festival grounds. Sound recordings are forbidden everywhere. Only simple photo cameras (without detachable lenses) are allowed anywhere on the grounds.
Gas bottles: only camping gas (small blue disposable gas bottles) is allowed. Gas systems and other types of gas bottle in campers and caravans are prohibited for safety reasons, by order of the fire brigade.
Noise: generator sets and hi-fi systems are not allowed on the grounds or the campsites! Give your neighbours some peace and quiet.
