Camping in Trailer Parks
The trailer parks are divided into the regular area and the Greener Living area. All vehicles need a trailer park ticket to gain access to the separate trailer parks.
Camper vans
A camper van is a motor vehicle that provides fixed sleeping berths and living space according to the number of passengers in the vehicle, including an awning or pagoda.
Caravan (with passenger car as towing vehicle).
A trailer registered on public roads, which provides fixed sleeping berths according to the number of passengers in the towing vehicle, including an awning or pagoda, whereby the passenger car must always be harnessed in front of the trailer in order to be able to maneuver at any time.
Station wagons
Station wagons may be occupied by a maximum of two persons and must have built-in sleeping berths (also temporary if necessary) corresponding to the number of passengers.
Passenger car with trailer
A passenger car with trailer may be occupied by a maximum of 5 persons and must have sleeping capacity on the trailer or in the unfolded state corresponding to the number of passengers.
Other cars(e.g. nine-seaters, small cars like WW Polo or similar, station wagons with more travelers than available sleeping places) are not allowed in the trailer park!
Since we cannot check if your vehicle meets these requirements before the festival, the on-site security service is responsible for this. If your vehicle does not meet the requirements, you may be denied access to the Trailer Park. You are responsible for ensuring that your vehicle is allowed into the trailer park.
Awnings/pagodas
One awning or one pagoda may be attached to the caravan. Small or large tents with additional sleeping space are not permitted. Security will check compliance with this rule strictly, in order to guarantee sufficient space for all trailer park residents. The total length of the vehicle must be no longer than 11 metres and the permissible total weight no more than 3.5 tonnes. In the case of a car/trailer combination (e. g. car with caravan), the tractor must remain permanently hitched before the trailer in order to be able to manoeuvre at all times.
On Site
Since it is not possible to check the camper van when the ticket is being purchased, we reserve the right to refuse access to vehicles to the intended space if they do not comply with the above rules. The cost of the purchase camper sticker will not be refunded in such a case.
Trailer Park in the Greener Living Area
People who love rock’n‘roll at the concerts but prefer some calm and cleanliness when camping, can stay at our Greener Living area during Southside. The Greener Living area is is a separate area that gives our green-minded guests an opportunity to sleep in a clean and calm environment. All vehicles need a corresponding trailer park ticket to gain access to the Greener Living area.
Trailer Park Power Claims
Dear friends of tidy little allotments: You can rent a claim of your own for your sleeping vehicle in the trailer park area! This is a pitch of approx. 32 m² reserved especially for you, where you will also have access to electricity (Schuko connection with up to 2,000 watts). Please remember to bring an outdoor extension cable with a Schuko connection (16 amps, cable size: 2.5 mm²).
