Campsite Facilities
Everything is set up on site so that you don’t have to leave the festival site all weekend if you don’t want to.
TOILETS AND SHOWERS
There are toilets in the campsite and arena which are cleaned regularly throughout the weekend. The showers in the campsite are available between 8am and midday and 4pm and 10pm each day. At peak usage times the water pressure can be low.
DRINKING WATER
There are standpipes which provide FREE drinking water in the campsites and arena. We recommend bringing a plastic bottle with you that can you refill – but please don’t bring anything bigger than 1 litre in size. You can also purchase water and other soft drinks from the catering units throughout the site. There are a number of bars throughout the site, including a bar in the campsite – Wakestock operates a Challenge 25 policy so if you look under 25 you will be asked for ID when buying alcohol on site. Wakestock operates a zero tolerance policy towards underage drinking – anyone who is under the age of 18 and caught in possession of alcohol will be ejected from site.
RUBBISH
There are plenty of bins provided throughout the site and which are emptied regularly throughout the weekend. Bin bags are provided throughout the campsite, however, as Wakestock takes place by the sea we have huge problems with seagulls ripping bin bags apart and creating even more mess. If you do fill your bin bag with rubbish please place it one of the bins provided, or store it in your tent to help prevent the gulls causing mayhem.
CHARGE & STORE
We advise you not to store anything of value in your tent as unfortunately, as at all festivals, thefts do occur in the campsite. You can store your valuables with the secure Charge & Store facility which not only offers secure storage but also phone charging throughout the weekend. You can pre-book your Charge & Store locker ticket or purchase it when you arrive on site. Please note phone charging can be provded by the Charge & Store staff but this will be at an additional charge – you’re ticket only entitles you to secure storage at the facility.
FOOD STALLS
There’s a wide variety of food stalls open throughout the festival in both the campsite and main arena.
FAIRGROUND
There’s a mini funfair in the campsite, and a much bigger one in the main arena. Please make sure you secure your valuables securely before going on the rides.
CART-TO-CAMP
Cart-to-camp will be on site this year offering hire of their robust trolleys for you to get all your stuff from the car to the campsite… and back again! The lightweight trolleys are made of steel, have front wheel steerage and their pump up wheels are ideal for rough terrain. They can carry loads of up to 200kg so rather than lugging all your kit and arrive at the campsite a sweaty mess, why not make it easy and rent one of the carts. You’ll find the cart-to-camp staff close to the entrance, look out for their signs! No pre-booking is required but for more information including their rates CLICK HERE
