Getting Here
Gate It Right
Before leaving for Splore login to your iTICKET account ePass to confirm the gate you should use to enter the festival. The gate is assigned to best suit your entry needs in accordance with the types of tickets and upgrades you have in your ePass at the time of entry. Check with everyone thats in your car to make sure that you’re all coming yo the gate that best suits all of your entry requirements.
Driving
If you're planning to drive, be aware that off the motorway, the roads are well sealed but winding, with sharp corners in some parts of the trip. Please drive carefully – or maybe even let someone else handle the driving, get on the Splore Express Bus.
Parking
If you're driving, you'll need somewhere to park. Obviously.
That's not free. To access the onsite parking, you'll need to buy a Parking Pass. We do this for two reasons: to help fund alternative transport and to control the number of cars on the road and on site. That's better for everyone. Buy your Parking Passes in advance, they can be purchased on arrival, but they're considerably more expensive that way. Be smart and buy yours in advance.
If you're bringing a camper-vehicle or any kind of whare on wheels you need to book a reserved camper-vehicle pass.
Carpooling
We incentivise carpooling. When you arrive at Splore with three or more people in your car you will receive a 2/3rds refund on your Parking Pass, loaded on to your wristband. Need some friends to share a ride with? Check our Facebook Carpool Club to connect with other Splorers looking for and offering rides.
Other Vehicles
Reserved Camper-Vehicle sites include parking so won't need an additional parking pass. (All other reserved campers must buy a Parking Pass to use the car park.)
Electric and efficient two seater vehicles with two passenger will qualify for the same refund as carpoolers.
Motorbikes do not require a parking pass.
Arriving By Sea
Yes, you can bring your boat to Splore. Just make sure everyone onboard has a festival ticket.
Coming by sea is pretty awesome, with a stunning anchorage, with brilliant views across the festival site. But there’s a few details you should know first:[Learn more]
Splore Express Bus
Catching the bus is a great way to get to Splore – with the bonus of a positive impact on the environment.
We want as many people as possible to travel by bus, which is why we subsidise the cost.
The Splore Express bus is a comfortable air-conditioned coach with extra luggage space. (not pictured). There is plenty of space in the cargo hold so you can still bring all your camping gear.
Your Splore ticket and wristband processing will take place on board, so there's no waiting in queues at the front gate. The Splore Express will take you directly to camp HQ.
Even better than not having to drive to Splore? Not having to drive home – so you can partake fully of the delights of Sunday.
Seriously: local police are cracking down on drivers under the influence since the driving limit has been reduced. It’s quite likely that there will be some kind of monitoring after the event.
So hop on the bus, it’s safe, sustainable, convenient and cheap!
