FAQS

Can I use a CPAP machine in the General Campsite?

We can only support the use of CPAP machines in critical cases.

Contact our team on office@campwildfire.co.uk to discuss.

Can I bring an assistance animal?

To bring an assistance animal you must apply for permission in advance of arriving using this form. Assistance animals must wear a vest identifying them and be kept on a lead at all times whilst onsite at the event for their safety. You will need to provide one of the following pieces of evidence as part of your application;

  • Letter from GP

  • ADUK / ADI / IGDF Registration

Is there somewhere to store medication?

Please keep medication in its original packaging. There will be a fridge available at the medical tent in Basecamp if you require cold storage for your medication.

Will the accessible toilets be secured by RADAR keys?

Yes. You must bring your own RADAR key. They are available to purchase online. If you lose your RADAR key there will be some available for short term loan (30 minutes) from the information cabins and the medical tent onsite during opening hours. Please do not rely on the spare RADAR keys we have available.

Do you have a quiet area?

For those needing a moment of calm in a relaxing space, we have The Retreat, which will be marked on the event map.

Do you have provisions for mental health needs?

We try out best to ensure Camp Wildfire is accessible for all. A quiet area can be found at The Retreat. This area is provided a mental health charity, who also offer quiet activities. Head down to The Retreat if you'd like to enjoy the mindful activities- or just need some quiet time.

Can I do all the activities if I have a disability?

A lot of our activities are fully accessible, but please check the specific accessibility notes on each activity during Enrolment.

How accessible is the site?

Camp Wildfire is held on a private woodland estate; much of the ground is flat and grassy, but can become quite muddy if the weather in the run up to, or during, the event is wet. If it gets muddy mobility can become quite tricky in a wheelchair and there are no metal trackways.
