For the full Northern Bass festival experience, camping onsite is the only option. Choose from pitching your tent in the campground, bringing a campervan or staying in the fantastic Bass Hotel.

Camping Passes
Grab your mates and get right into the NB experience at our onsite campground!  The NB campground has everything you need for your stay on Worsfolds Farm - food stalls, hot showers, a powder room, security and even a bar. 
To camp on-site you will need to purchase a Camping Pass as well as your event ticket. Same deal goes for those bringing campervans on-site - you will need ONE Campervan Pass per vehicle, but each person staying in the campervan will need to purchase an individual camping pass.
Camping Passes are exchanged for a camping wrist band when you arrive on site.  No camping wrist band = no access to the camp ground.
You can stay for one, two or three nights, depending on the type of Northern Bass ticket you get.  So if you want to buy a 2 Day Camping Pass you'll need the Two Day Northern Bass ticket.  

• One Day Camping Pass: $30
• Two Day Camping Pass: $49

Note: If you plan to come along for the full 3 days and camp - make sure you choose the 3 Day ticket + camping bundle. 

Some notes:

• We will assist you where we can, but you will need to carry your gear from the carpark to your campsite - so travel light!
• We know it was an issue last year, so we have made it a major priority to sort the toilet and showers on site for this year.
• This year sites will be marked out and will be first in-first served.
• The campground will open at 12.00pm on the 29th for 3 day ticket holders only. The 2 day holders can arrive from 9am on the 30th and 1 day pass holders can arrive from 9am on the 31st.

Campervans 
If you are planning to bring a campervan to Northern Bass this year, you will need to get a Campervan Pass. 

You need ONE Campervan Pass per vehicle, but each camper in the vehicle also requires their own Camping Pass

Please note:

• Stationwagons, vans, utes and campervans only.  No smaller cars (hatchbacks/sedans) are permitted.
• There is no power or water to campervans.
• You MUST take all grey water with you.
• Due to limited space we do not permit additional tents in this area - if you want a tent next to your vehicle, you will need a Campervan PLUS Pass. 

Please email info@northernbass.co.nz if your vehicle is over 5m long.  

Campervan Price $65 + bf + transaction fee

Campervan PLUS

If you want a tent next to your vehicle we have a limited number of Campervan PLUS Passes. This pass will allow you to put up a maximum of two 3m x 3m tents next to your vehicle. 

You need ONE Campervan PLUS Pass per vehicle, but each camper in the vehicle AND in the tents also requires their own Camping Pass. 

Campervan Plus $100 + bf + trans fee

Bass Hotel

Bass Hotel is the ultimate luxury in festival camping. No need to worry about sorting out your place to sleep!  Just drive up and park right next to the Bass Hotel where your fabulous bell tent will be already pitched and ready to go.  Your Bass Hotel is the best in festival comfort, treating you to a great night's sleep after a long evening partying at Northern Bass.  Each tent will have a deluxe air mattress, duvets, crisp linen, central table, carpet floor, doormat and lighting in your tent, plus a solar USB charger for your phone - so don't forget to bring your phone charger!

NEW THIS YEAR -  We have an amazing new spot by the lagoon for Bass Hotel this year with a fantastic view!  Just a short distance up the hill from the main stage, with a dedicated shuttle service to get you around.  A bigger and better Bass Lounge - including couches, bar leaners, bean bags plus a free charging station - a comfy central hub for you to relax.  AND we are pleased to announce this year for the ladies we will have a powder room which will include power points (don't forget to bring your hairdryer), table, chairs and mirrors.

Please note a Bass Hotel tent price does not include your festival ticket or your camping ticket!

Bass Hotel campers require ONE Bass Hotel ticket per tent and an event + camping ticket per person
