Tips for your festival packing list

Article from Elinor

We're ready - ready for beer in plastic cups and tinned ravioli all day every day. Festival season is just around the corner and we're getting more and more excited every day.

Packing for camping on the festival site is something that needs to be learnt. Our practical festival packing list contains everything that every festival goer should have with them, from food to camping equipment.

Flip flops, sun cream & co. - everything you need for festival camping

Documents & money

EC Card

Cash

ID Card

Health insurance card

Driving licence

When travelling, it's best to stow your documents and money in a body bag or fanny pack. If, for example, you prefer to leave your driving licence in the camper while you're dancing/drinking/vibing, find an inconspicuous place for it that is not easily visible (but please don't forget it). In the event that you lose one or more of your cards on the festival site, you should also make copies before the trip and keep them both in the camper and at home.

Rent a camper

Camping equipment

Bedding

Towels

Microfibre or linen towels are best as they dry faster and can be folded up compactly. You can also add on towels with us.

Toilet paper

Special camping toilet paper if you have booked a mobile camping toilet, regular toilet paper as a backup in case the toilet paper provided by the festival organizers runs out.

Torch

You can save valuable battery power if you do without the torch on your mobile phone and bring a real one with you. Don't forget spare batteries!

Picnic blanket

Additional camping chairs if required

Our campers are equipped with two camping chairs. If you are travelling in a larger group, you may need additional seating.

Food & Drinks

As far as kitchen equipment is concerned, you'll have pretty much everything on board when travelling with Off - crockery, pots, pans, wine glasses, you name it. So apart from a bottle and can opener, you don't need to bring any kitchen equipment with you. Cold snacks (and beer) can be stored in the fridge, and cooking is no problem thanks to the gas hob.

What food you pack is of course up to you. At festival camping, we are fans of uncomplicated meals and plenty of snacks to keep you energised all day long. Pasta with pesto, tinned ravioli, rice-filled vine leaves, nuts, sandwiches, muesli bars and crackers with hummus, for example. In addition to beer, there should also be room in the fridge for a bottle or two of coke, lemonade and, above all, water.

Electronics & Entertainment

Table tennis balls, foldable table and plastic cups

I'm sure you'll work out for yourself what you can do with that.

Phone

Fully charged power bank

Speaker

Disposable camera for festival memories

Deck of cards

Biodegradable glitter (e.g. from Birkenspanner)

Clothing

Clothes you feel comfortable in

And that are comfortable enough for you to spend the whole day in. Although most festivals take place at the height of summer, it can get cooler in the evenings, so make sure you pack a hoodie or jumper, as well as long trousers and a few cosy T-shirts.

Underwear & Socks

Raincoat

Cap or other form of sun protection

Sunglasses

Comfortable, closed shoes to dance in (also known as trainers)

Flip flops or slippers

Fanny pack or bag

Don't forget your pyjamas!
