Site Rules

- Do not park in front of gates or access ways, and do not open or close gates yourself.
- If the landowner or event management asks you to move, you must do so immediately.

- No fires, fireworks, or barbecues under any circumstances.

- Campers cannot access the event site or use facilities (including portaloos) outside festival hours.
- No pets are allowed on the festival site or any other private land outside of the fenced motorhome paddock.
Festival Access
- Camping does not include festival entry. To attend Harvest Festival, you will need a valid festival ticket.
- Entry on festival day is only through the main entrance gate. Early access to the festival site will not be permitted.
- No pass outs. Once your ticket is scanned, re-entry isn’t permitted. This is to ensure we adhere to our alcohol licence requirements.
- Food and beverages for personal use are allowed in the camping area but not inside the festival site.
Behaviour
- Please respect the land, neighbours, fellow campers and festival staff.
- Unsafe, disruptive, or disrespectful behaviour may result in removal from the site.
- Event management and landowner reserve the right to revoke camping privileges at any time.
Pets
- Pets are welcome in the camping area only and must be supervised or safely contained at all times.
- The festival and motorhome parking areas are located on a private working farm. To protect the farm, livestock and the wider sheep industry, all dogs must be treated for sheep measles before entering the property. Dogs must be dosed at least 48 hours before arrival, or be on a regular monthly dosing programme. Read more about sheep measles via this brochure [1.8mb].
- Owners must clean up after pets and ensure they do not disturb others, livestock, or wildlife.
- No pets are allowed on the festival site.
- Pass outs to check on animals may be approved by prior arrangement only.
Note: this is not a booking system so you won’t receive an instant confirmation of your booking request. We will be in touch.
Booking a motorhome site does not provide you with access to the Wairarapa Wines Harvest Festival site.
Tickets for the Festival must be purchased separately.
