Camping & Facilities
SWR's camping is located on a wooded area two minutes from the main venue and opens one week before the festival. Free entrance. Sun is no problem (even if it doesn't rain) because of the high tree density that makes shadows an abundant resource so your wake up time depends only on how loud your neighbours are. The campsite has daily cleaned WCs, dish washing facilities, night-time lighting and a supermarket, coffee shops, restaurants and a kiosk nearby.
Hot showers are available at the ADB sports complex, near the camping area, open during some hours every day.
If showers are not your thing, there's also the infamous Neiva River, a ten minute walk from the venue. Only for the bravest.
If you have no tent don't worry, we have you covered with options for tents and on-sale store of camping utilities.
Check them out at SWR STORE / swrfest.bigcartel.com.
