Camping Rules
NO CAR CAMPING
Bonfire is a GREEN festival, and as such we aim to keep the cars and the people in seperate, environmentally suitable places.
NO RV'S OR CAMPER/TRAILERS
Simply put, there is not enough room onsite to fit them. If you plan on travelling to Bonfire by RV or trailer, please do some Internet research on the Sunshine Coast as there are many local RV parks & campgrounds that will be able to accommodate your vehicle.
PARKING
There are parking and camping regulations in place on the site. Depending on when you arrive and which sites have been filled, our parking attendants will be parking vehicles. Be sure your festival parking pass is in clear view on your dashboard.
PLEASE CARPOOL
Campground parking is limited so please grab your friends, split the gas money and come together. There will be a minimum of 2 weekend festival passes per vehicle for festival parking/camping.
NO PETS
We realize that most pets are part of the family. However, due to the ramifications of multiple animals on site we kindly ask that you leave your pets with a friend.
ALCOHOL
All festival attendees of legal drinking age will be asked for proper identification upon arrival and issued with a special wristband. There will be alcohol monitors and security on site to enforce these wristbands. Anyone underage discovered drinking alcohol anywhere on the Bonfire Festival site will have their alcohol confiscated, their wristband removed and will be asked to immediately vacate the premises.
DRUGS
Please don't bring drugs. Security will be on site. Bonfire reserves the right to search anyone, anytime, anywhere on festival grounds.
SECURITY & SAFETY
Security & Safety Personnel strive to protect the well-being of everyone attending Bonfire. As such, we expect our guests to have the utmost respect for our staff. Security & Safety Personnel are available at all times for the patrons of Bonfire. Please report any suspicious activity directly to the festival entrance/box office staff. Serious violations of Policies & Protocols may lead to eviction from the festival grounds.
FIRES & FIREWORKS ARE PROHIBITED
If you are a smoker, extinguish your cigarette butt completely and do not drop it on the ground. Bring something to store your cigarette butts and discard them in the proper garbage receptacle. Absolutely no fires or fireworks anywhere on the Bonfire campgrounds.
GLASS
Please use non-glass cups wherever possible. There will be many barefoot people in the campgrounds, so if you do have any glass on site please store it or dispose of it responsibly.
GARBAGE
Leave your campsite as clean as when you moved in. Most of the grabage generated from the festival is from campsites. If you pack it in, pack it out. Please use the garbage, recycling and composting facilities provided. Leave your campground in as good or better condition than when you found it.
WATER
Please make note of the water stations located around the site. Drink lots of water all the time. Derhydration is one of the most common causes of trips to the first aid tent.
FIRST AID
Bonfire will have trained and accredited First Aid Volunteers on site. Please make note of the location of the First Aid Tent near the Vending Village.
VENDING VILLAGE
Bonfire isn't just a music festival, we also have clothing, food, arts and massage booths planned for this year. Peruse the Vending Village and find something you like ... give back to the fine folks helping us make this year's event better than ever!
WRISTBANDS
Wristbands must be worn at all times. If you are found without a wristband, you run the risk of having to pay for your ticket again.
VALUABLES
Protect your valuables. Leave them at home or lock them in your vehicle.
