When you can camp

You can camp at your chosen site from 9am on each day you have booked, to 9am the following day. You need a camping permit to set up a tent even if it is only during the day, no matter the duration.

Take note of these conditions before you apply:

  • The camping permit is non-cancellable. You cannot cancel if it rains or if you cannot make it on the day of your booking.
  • The date and location cannot be changed once the booking is confirmed.
  • Your permit is non-transferable. You are responsible for the use of the camping area during the permit's validity.
  • You can only apply up to 2 months in advance.
  • There are no restrictions on the size or type of tents allowed, but each tent requires 1 permit, for up to 6 persons.

If you need to add or remove campers, use AXS to do so.

Note

If you face any issues regarding AXS, refer to their FAQs or contact them for support.

  • Remember to prepare camping gear such as a sturdy tent, sleeping bags and insect repellent.
  • Bring trash bags for easy cleanups. You are responsible for the cleanliness of your camping area as part of your permit.
  • If you wish to barbecue, find out more about booking a barbecue pit.
