Camping facilities will include hot showers, toilets, on-site shops, charging stations and family camping zones. Visitors will be able to park next to their tent, while motorhomes, campervans and caravans are welcome.
The campsite will have 24-hour security, stewards and security patrols. Two buses will run around the festival site, with stops near the town and the arena entrance.
Barry Flipper Buxton said: “Last year was our first time visiting and we meet with family who live in the area.
“What an amazing time we had spent with them.
“Due to us living apart, weekends like this make it all worthwhile”
