One estate, two buildings
Kasteel de Berckt is the name of the entire festival estate. The indoor accommodation is spread across two distinct buildings: the Historic Castle and the Farmhouse. Both are part of the same festival, but their atmosphere and position on the grounds are different.
Historic Castle
The original historic accommodation building
- Historic & characterful
- A little further from the central hub
- Unique atmosphere
Farmhouse
The newer main building
- Central & convenient
- Close to the food area and Main Room
- More practical and modern feel
Neither building is better — the best choice depends on whether you prefer historic atmosphere and a little more distance, or a central position close to the main shared spaces.

A Private Room of Your Own
1–4 guests · Historic Castle or Farmhouse
Upgrade your festival stay with a private room for one, two, three or four people in the Historic Castle or the Farmhouse. Most rooms include their own bathroom with shower and toilet — the limited simple single rooms are the exception. Bed linen and one towel per person are included, so you can arrive, settle in and focus on the gathering.
- Private room for the number of guests shown
- Historic Castle or Farmhouse
- Bed linen & one towel per person included

A Bed in a Shared Room
5–8 or max. 3 guests · Female & male categories where listed

- One real bed in a shared indoor room
- Standard shared rooms: 5–8 guests
- Smaller shared rooms: max. 3 guests
- Female & male categories where listed
ROOM OPTIONS IN DETAIL
Simple Single Rooms
A small number of simpler single rooms are available at a lower accommodation price. Choose between a one-person room with a shared bathroom or a one-person room with its own bathroom. These rooms are limited and may sell out quickly.
Large Female Dormitory
A large female-only dormitory may become available as an additional low-cost indoor option, with room for more than ten women. You reserve one sleeping place and share the room and bathroom facilities with the other guests. Bring an open mind and respect each other’s rest.
More ways to stay
A camping spot is already included with your ticket. These options give you more comfort on the grounds — or more independence.
Bring Your Own Tent
A camping spot for your own tent is included with your festival ticket. Choose between two camping areas when you arrive: a green wooded field or a more open field near the lake. Places are not reserved in advance and are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Included with every regular entrance ticket
- Bring your own tent & sleeping equipment
- No electricity on the tent fields
- Shared toilets & showers on the estate
Camper or Caravan
Bring your own home on wheels and reserve a place on the summer camper field. One Camper or Caravan Ticket is required for each vehicle, in addition to the festival entrance tickets for everyone staying in it. Pitches are limited, so book early.
- One camper or caravan per vehicle ticket
- Festival entrance ticket also required
- Check the ticket shop for pitch facilities
Prepared Glamping Tent
When our indoor rooms are fully booked, a limited number of prepared glamping tents may become available. Arrive to a tent that is already set up, with mattresses, blankets, pillows and bed linen provided — an easy way to stay on the grounds without carrying and pitching all your own camping equipment.
- Only for the Summer Edition
- Tent prepared before arrival
- Mattresses, blankets, pillows & linen included
- Decorative details & a seating area
Available after indoor rooms sell out
✦
Stay Outside the Estate
You are welcome to arrange your own hotel, holiday home or B&B nearby and join the festival each day. With a valid festival ticket you may leave and return whenever you wish — you plan your own daily transport.
Arriving by car? Check the ticket shop for the current parking options for your stay.
Staying on site gives you the fullest festival experience, but an external stay can be a good alternative when indoor rooms are sold out or when you prefer more independence.
The little things, taken care of
Bathrooms, linen & towels
Most private rooms have their own bathroom with shower and toilet. The limited simple single rooms with a shared bathroom and the dormitory are the exceptions. Bed linen and one towel per person are included with indoor stays. Bring an extra towel or bathrobe if you plan to use the sauna, hot tubs or wellness facilities.
Room keys
There is one key per room. If you share a room, agree together who keeps the key or leave it at the welcome desk when this service is available.
WiFi & unplugging
Free WiFi is available, but the signal is not equally strong throughout the estate. We invite you to keep phones and laptops in your room or tent as much as possible and be fully present with the gathering.
Room allocation
You choose the accommodation type, building and capacity shown in the ticket shop. The organisation allocates the exact room. You may share a preference after booking, but individual room requests cannot be guaranteed.
Temperature
Summer days are warm, but nights can become cool — especially when camping. An extra warm layer and comfortable sleepwear are always useful.
Parking & arrival
Use the loading and unloading zone near the campsite and the main building, then move your car to the directed parking area. A separate Car Parking Ticket is required for every car — available in the ticket shop. On site, follow the signs and the directions of our team.
