at Sandown Park |
|
Special Offer |
Camping at Victoria Rootsfest is divided into two camping areas -
a Family area (a quiet area for families) and the General area (a
larger space suited to those who want to stay up a little longer,
singing songs, jamming and telling stories). It is only a 3 minute
walk to the Rootsfest Main Gate at Sandown Park.
These basic camping area's are offered as a service for festival patrons
who would enjoy the festival and the "large group camping"
environment. The sites have ample space for vehicle camping including
campers, vans, motor homes, trailers and, of course, tents. There
is no running water or electrical hookups, but portable toilets will
be provided.
Alcohol, pets and open fires are not permitted. On site security will
be present.
Campsites can be reserved by calling Island Displays at 385-3541.
Sites are reserved on a first-come first-served basis. Some special
requests will be honored. eg., sites reserved beside each other.

passes can do so at a special discounted price of $50 per ticket.
Ticket prices are now $69 for each weekend pass. You can save an additional
