  • Debit card
  • Cash
  • Driver's license (if necessary)
  • Phone
  • Power bank
  • SD card for camera or smartphone

A little tip: Store important documents in a zip bag or fanny pack. This way, they are protected from rain, dust, and mud.

Camping Packing List for Your Festival

Anyone spending the night at the campsite needs much more than just a backpack. With the right camping equipment, the festival weekend will be much more relaxed.

Sleeping and Camp Setup

  • Tent
  • Sleeping bag
  • Sleeping mat or air mattress
  • Camping chair
  • Gazebo
  • Flashlight
  • Spare batteries
  • Rubber mallet
  • Rain jacket
  • Rubber boots

Food and Provisions

  • Provisions for the first few days
  • Water canister
  • Camping grill
  • Camping crockery
  • Camping cutlery
  • Cups
  • Garbage bags

If you're traveling with several friends, you can share many things and save space in your suitcase or car.

Clothing: For Sun, Rain, and Long Nights

The weather at a festival can change completely within a few hours. That's why it's worth being prepared for different conditions when packing.

Clothing for your festival weekend

  • T-shirts
  • Hoodies or sweaters
  • Rain jacket
  • Shorts
  • Long pants
  • Underwear
  • Socks
  • Sleepwear
  • Comfortable shoes
  • Flip-flops for showers and camping area

Our tip: It's better to pack a few extra items. Nothing is more uncomfortable than wet clothes after a rain shower.

Beauty and Skincare: The Festival Essential Many Underestimate

Between sun, dust, sweat, lack of sleep, and festival makeup, your skin will be put to the test during a festival weekend.

Everyone spends hours in the sun, wears glitter, makeup, or body paint, and washes themselves significantly less often than at home. This makes a well-thought-out skincare routine all the more important.

Especially at festivals like Parookaville, Nature One, Southside, or Rock am Ring, sun, sweat, and dust collide. This can stress the skin barrier and lead to irritation. You should not underestimate this risk.

Hygiene at the Festival

For several days at the campsite, a few hygiene products can be practical:

Hygiene Checklist

Tissues and wet wipes in particular are among the items you'll be most grateful for later on.

Safety and First Aid

Nobody wants to need them, but they should still be included.

First Aid Kit

  • Band-Aids
  • Blister plasters
  • Deodorant
  • Painkillers
  • Personal medication
  • Disinfectant

A small first aid kit takes up hardly any space and can be very helpful in an emergency.

The Perfect Festival Bag

You want to carry as little as possible with you on the festival grounds.

Suitable options include fanny packs, a small backpack, or a handbag with a zipper.

Important: Check the festival app or website in advance for information on permitted bags and organizer guidelines.
