Camping info
When is the campsite open?
All campsites are open as from 9 a.m. on Thursday August 6th and close the following Monday (10 August) at noon. The Campsite Office is open round the clock for check-in.
Where is the campsite located?
The campsite sits next to the festival grounds. There’s a shortcut with a separate entrance from the campsite to the festival grounds to avoid endless queues for campers!
Where is the car park for the camping guests?
Out of respect for the residents, campers cannot park in the immediate vicinity of the festival. If you do so anyway you may be fined. The car park of Kortrijk XPO / Kinepolis is the official car park for Alcatraz Open Air 2026. For easy access enter the following GPS coordinates:

How much is a camping ticket?
Camping tickets are €23 per person. Camping tickets must be purchased in advance via the ticket page and we ask that you bring a printed copy to the festival.

Only for campers! Not looking forward to drinking lukewarm beer after pitching your tent? Order a cold six-pack of 50cl beers in advance for €12 (€15 on the day) and collect it from the beer stand at the campsite between Thursday 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Campsite Office / Bar
This is the central point of the campsite. Camping staff is on hand round the clock throughout the festival weekend to help create an unforgettable Alcatraz Campsite experience. You can also stock up on snacks, soft drinks and coffee and you’re always welcome for a friendly chat.
Keep things tidy!
Upon arrival every camper receives 2 refuse bags: one for residual waste and one for PMD. Use these bags and hand them in at the appropriate collection points prior to your departure. Don’t feel like dragging all your kit back home? Then you can donate some or all of your camping gear in the donation pit.
Container park
Campers receive one token for a cup of coffee/tea/chocolate milk for every full bag of sorted waste (PMD and residual waste) they hand in. This special token is only valid at the Campsite Office. Between Friday and Monday, refuse bags can be handed in at the campsite container park between 8 a.m. and noon. You’ll find the container park right next to the large sanitary block.
