Cloggeroo The Island Folk Festival | Camping

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Camping is available Friday, August 13th and Saturday, August 14th.

All campers are required to have a campground bracelet. Please ensure you purchase a site for the correct number of people. 

You must purchase a Cloggeroo ticket in order to enter the campground.

• The Festival Campground is for ticket holders only - a festival wristband is required for entry to the campground on each night.

No discounts if you only camp for one night.

A MAXIMUM of 6 people can be booked into each site. 

Each site is 25’ x 25′ and can accommodate up to 2 vans/campers or 4 tents

 How do I get my Cloggeroo Camping wristband?

When you arrive in Georgetown, go to the main ticket booth at the Waterfront Stage to have your ticket scanned, get your festival wristband, scan your campsite ticket, and get your camping wristband. You can then head down to the campground and set up your home base! You’ll know your site by the numbered stakes in the ground.

 

How far is it from the campground to the stage?

It’s 1.8 km, so, about a 20 minute walk from the campground to the Waterfront Stage. If you’re driving, it’s about 5 minutes.

There will be a Cloggeroo shuttle that will make regular round trips between the campground, the main stage, and various other spots in Georgetown. You can hop on the Cloggeroo shuttle if you’d prefer to leave your car parked at the campground and you don’t feel like walking. The shuttle service is for Cloggeroo festival bracelet wearers and is free of charge!

 

What amenities are available at the campground?

There will be portable toilets, portable solar-heated showers, hand washing stations, and potable water available at the campground for all campers!

There will not be electricity or other RV hook-ups at the campsites themselves. Unless you count the electric vibes all you music lovers are going to be spreading…

 

Will I be guaranteed access to camping?

There is a limited number of campsites, access to camping will be on a first come first served basis. If sites are still available when you arrive in Georgetown at the start of the festival, you can still get a spot – but this is not a guarantee. We recommend booking a campsite in advance!

 

How many people can stay on one campsite?

6 people total. Provincial regulations state each campsite may have a maximum of four tents or a maximum of two vans/campers

 

Can I invite other people back to the campground?

Unfortunately, no. Due to safety and security concerns, and the provisions of our camping license, only those people with a Cloggeroo Camping wristband will be allowed into the secure campground site. Tell your friends to buy a festival pass and book a campsite, and you can be together all weekend!

 

Can I bring my kids?

Absolutely! We’ve set aside a section of the campground that is designated as “quieter” camping. It’s the section with the purple numbers in the campground site map. Unfortunately, this is not quiet camping – the tree line between the two camping zones does not completely deaden the sounds of joyous campers in the other field belting out campfire tunes. However, everyone camping in the “quieter” area must follow the 9:00 pm noise curfew, so at least it won’t be your immediate neighbours rippin’ a banjo solo at midnight. And, bonus: kids 12 and under camp for free!

 

When can I set up my campsite?

The campground opens at noon on Friday, August 13th and closes at 8pm on Sunday, August 15th.

 

What should I bring?

A tent, camp chairs, something for shade and rain protection, coolers for food and beverages, acoustic instruments or regular speakers (no loud amplified music – sorry!), earplugs, plenty of water, a refillable water bottle (there will also be potable water available at the campground), a bathing suit, towel (Georgetown has great beaches!), flashlights or solar lights to decorate your campsite, bug spray, sunscreen, your dancing shoes, and a friendly attitude!

 

What should I NOT bring?

Glass (no glass containers allowed) – instead, use cans, plastic bottles, reusable aluminum containers, etc!

Fire (no open fires allowed). Propane camp stoves are permitted.

Pets (no pets allowed in the campground or on the festival grounds)

Large, loud speakers or amplifiers

Anything illegal – security will be on site.

 

Will there be security at the campground?

Yes, professional security will be at the campground throughout the weekend for the safety of campers. However, Cloggeroo camping is at your own risk; Cloggeroo is not responsible for any damage to any of your camping gear or other property.

Can I park my vehicle beside my tent at my campsite?

Unfortunately, no. There is a designated parking lot adjacent to the camping field. We want to keep a safe, relaxing atmosphere where people don’t need to worry about traffic, cars will not be allowed to drive in.

Campers are allowed in the campground! However, camping vehicles must be parked for the full duration of camping. If you are only planning to camp for one night, then you can leave the next day, as the case may be – but that will be the only vehicle traffic allowed in the camping area during the weekend. We want a safe, relaxing campground – not a high traffic zone! Once again, we really appreciate your cooperation with this, and security will be enforcing this rule.

Can I hang out with my friends who are also staying at the campground?

Yes. Under the current Public Health guidance campsites are looked at as your home away from home. So, under the current rules you are able to have up to 20 friends and family join you on your campsite. Remember, only people who have camping passes are permitted to be in the campground.
