Your tent will be pitched and waiting in a friendly area of fellow Download fans, with our team on hand all weekend. Less lugging gear, more time at the barrier.

By booking with us, you’re also part of a greener festival future — joining thousands of fans who’ve helped us keep camping kit out of landfill since 2013.

đź“Ť Updated Camping Location for Download 2026

Due to unprecedented demand, we’ve outgrown Eco Camp and for 2026 will be based in a private Circular Camping area within the Red section of General Camping.

This move allows for a larger, better-laid-out village with clearer boundaries, improved spacing, and a stronger sense of community.

Handy pedestrian shortcuts nearby provide quick access to the arena and District X. The North Car Park is the closest parking option.

Our approximate location is marked with a yellow star on the 2025 site map, below.

If you’ve already purchased a weekend camping ticket in a different campsite (such as Quiet or Eco Camping), please follow the link below and complete a short form which allows us to arrange a simple ticket type amendment so you can camp with us without any issues.

Download FAQ

Can anyone book a tent now?

Yes - general sale is open to all Download ticket holders. You don’t need an access code anymore, but tents and add-ons are limited and will sell out fast. Please ensure you have booked your Download weekend camping ticket separately.

Can I stay for 5 nights?

Yes!

Purchase a General Camping 5 night weekend camping ticket via Ticketmaster and you will be able to stay with us for the full duration of the event.

Those holding a 3 night camping ticket will be able to stay for 3 nights.

The price of our service does not change: your tent is pitched ready for you a week in advance.

Am I able to get my weekend ticket type changed so that I can stay with you?

Yes. You need to hold a weekend 3 or 5 day general camping ticket to stay with us. If you currently hold an Eco or Quiet ticket then you we can manage that exchange for you here: Download 2026 Ticket Exchange – Circular Camping
