Camping Information

Our vast campsite is placed in an idyllic location on farmland near the Muncaster Estate and is a great place to stay for Folk by the Castle with great access to the castle gardens and music venue. The site is for all ages from young groups of friends to families. Tents can be pitched from 12:00PM onwards on Friday 19 June in the camping area which will be clearly marked. Please bring your own equipment. All tents are allowed but give us warning if it's abnormally huge.​

​Toilets, drinking water, and showers are available at the camping area. Only eco-friendly and biodegradable soaps are allowed on the camping site. No cars can be parked in the camping area, be prepared to walk up to 10 minutes with your camping gear from the main car park. Open fires will not be allowed, but those raised above the ground and without leaving a mark are permitted. Our camping area is pet friendly, but please keep in mind that although we love dogs, not everyone does. Please keep your dog in close proximity.
