Oasis Knebworth camping 2027: no tent to pitch, and the beds made up.

camping without the tent

You arrive with a bag. The tent is already up, made up as one double bed or four single beds, your choice when you book, and it sleeps up to four. Hot showers and flushing toilets are in the glamping field, a host is on site throughout, and one car per tent parks in the guest car park beside the field, included. We will offer a bar, with food traders next door, paid for as you go.

£699 a night per tent, whatever the beds and however many of you there are, up to four: about £175 a night each with four sharing. A booking made by 31 March 2027 can be paid in stages: 20% when you book, half by 31 January 2027 and the rest by 1 June 2027 (from 1 January 2027, half when you book).

which nights to book

Saturday shows (11, 18 and 25 September): the Friday and Saturday nights, sold together, £1,398 a tent, about £350 each with four sharing. Arrive on Friday, a day ahead of the show-day traffic. On Friday night we will offer a bar in three giant tipis joined together, with entertainment and food traders next door. More on the Saturday shows.

Sunday shows (12, 19 and 26 September): the Sunday night on its own, £699 a tent, about £175 each with four sharing, leaving on Monday morning. There is no official camping for a Sunday show. More on the Sunday shows.

Both shows in one weekend: all three nights in the same tent, the Weekender, £1,899.

the official Campsite Village, as announced

According to the promoter's announcement and the Ticketmaster FAQ, the Campsite Village costs £60 a person and is available only for the Saturday shows. The package covers the Friday and Saturday nights, you bring and pitch your own tent, and it includes parking in a dedicated campsite car park, a direct walk-through route to the arena described as a few minutes' walk, and late-night bars and entertainment on both nights. Campers arrive on the Friday and leave on the Sunday morning. You can only add it to a Saturday concert ticket, so it is not available to anyone without a ticket, and it is not sold for the Sunday shows.

It is good value if you have a tent, a Saturday ticket and a group who enjoy a festival campsite. Expect it to sell out quickly: the same people who fought for tickets will want the walk-through.

what it does not cover

The Sunday shows on 12, 19 and 26 September have no official camping at all, so a Sunday ticket holder who wants to stay over has no official option. Nor is there an official option for people who do not want to pitch and carry a tent, want a proper bed, or want to stay a single night. And there is nothing official for anyone without a ticket who still wants to be part of the weekend.

camping or glamping: the honest comparison

Price. The Campsite Village is £60 a person for two nights with your own tent. Our glamping is £699 a night per tent for up to four people, about £175 a person a night with four sharing, with the bed made, linen on it, hot showers, flushing toilets, a bar and food, a host, and one car per tent parked beside the field. Different products at different prices; one is camping, the other is a bed in a field.

Distance. The Campsite Village is on the estate with a walk-through to the arena. We are on the far side of the park at Old Knebworth, about a mile from the stage: the park's Old Knebworth Lane entrance is a 15-minute walk from our site, and the route on to the arena depends on the entrances the organisers open, and is confirmed nearer the time. Nobody should book us thinking it is a two-minute stroll.

Nights and tickets. The official campsite is Saturday shows only, two nights, ticket holders only. We sell nine nights across the three weekends, Sundays included, to anyone, with or without a concert ticket. A booking with us is never a ticket and does not get you into the park.

Traffic. Both sites let you avoid the late-night exit queue by staying put. Our approach is from the west via the B656 and Codicote, away from the Junction 7 roundabout that the official car parks were reached from at previous shows, which matters most on the drive in.

can I camp at Knebworth Basecamp?

Not with your own tent, not this year. We do not take bring-your-own tents, campervans overnight or caravans; the field is fifty pre-pitched bell tents and nothing else, which is what keeps it calm and lets us run it well. If you want to arrive with a bag and find the bed made, that is us: £699 a night per tent, free to hand on to someone else up to 7 days before arrival.

tips for anyone camping at Knebworth

Arrive on the Friday if your package allows it; every big Knebworth show has jammed the A1(M) on the show day itself. Pack for a wet September field: wellies, a headtorch, a warm layer for the night. Know your exit plan before the encore, because tens of thousands of people leave at the same moment. And keep your ticket and your campsite pass separate on your phone; the campsite pass does not get you into the arena and the arena ticket does not get you into the campsite.
