Camping
Camping is allowed and explicitly encouraged in the designated camping area. Regular personal tents are permitted; large festival tents are not. Campervans and motorhomes are not allowed access to the camping area. Access to the campsite is controlled.
Any visitor with a valid festival ticket may stay and camp in the camping area free of charge during all four festival days (Thu–Sun). This makes Gampel the largest free camping area in Switzerland.
