FAQs

Photos/Videos
Ask everybody in the picture if they agree to be photographed or filmed.
It follows that shots from the stage into the audience and long shots in the hackcenters, villages and the other public areas are not possible! Please note that we might ask photographers and film teams to leave, if they don't behave accordingly.

Camping

Where do I put my tent if I do NOT participate in a Village ?
Come to the camp site and put your tent on a spot that you like and that is not reserved for someone else or for infrastructure. You can also join a village if you ask the inhabitants or move your tent if you don't like a spot.

Where can I store my valuables?
You have to take care of your valuables yourself. You can ask your friendly neighbour to watch out for your stuff, lock it in a car or carry it with you. Up to now very few things have been stolen during CCC events but as our events grow bigger the number of jerks probably rises proportionally.

Cars and Camper Vans
If you can, please leave your vehicle at home.
Check travel for other options of getting to the venue.

Where can I park my car?
There will be a parking lot right beside the camp, there will be no parking on the campsite itself.

Is it OK to drive the car on the camp ground to unload stuff for the village on arrival?
We ask everyone to carry their luggage by hand if possible. We plan to provide carts and similar means of transportation between the cash desk and the rest of the camp ground. If you really need to drive on the camp ground to unload, better come early as we may close the venue for vehicles if it gets to dense. In general there is no guarantee that you are able to drive on the camp ground, you may have to wait for several hours.

Is it ok to come with a campervan/caravan?
Yes, caravan and campers are welcome, but you need a camper ticket.
Caravans and Campervans will get their own designated area outside of the venue. If you park there you can move your Campervan (or car) for a shopping tour.
There will (maybe) be power and (most probably) network hubs near the camper area but no option to hook up water or waste water.
Trucks, Caravans, and Campervans are - with a few exceptions - not allowed on the campground. If you think your vehicle is absolutely indispensable for your village please talk to the village orga.

Will there be campers/caravans allowed at the FamilyVillage?
We planned the area for the family village with the knowledge that many families arrive with their mobile home in mind. As space permits campers are allowed in the Family Village.

Open Fire

Are charcoal BBQs allowed?
No - all forms of open fire are forbidden. Please let your Charcoal BBQ Grill at home and bring a gas BBQ instead. As mentioned under Power please don't bring an electric grill either.

Could we make a Camp Fire/bonfire (dt. Lagerfeuer) ?
No - all forms of open fire are forbidden. Only if the fire brigade allows it one camp fire at the official fire place will be lit.

Are camping stoves powered by ethyl alcohol allowed?
Gas and liquid fuel are OK, they don't spread sparks.

Where can we get gas for our BBQs in the area?
You will have the option to buy gas in 5kg and 10kg on the campsite.
Villages can order gas in the village shop.

Dogs and other pets

Is it ok to bring my dog?
We ask everybody not to bring dogs. There are at least three problems we had with dogs on events in the past:

Dogs mark their territory by peeing at tents.
Attendees have problems with dogs. Be it by allergy or by phobia.
Dogs who have problems with people. They get scared in a crowd or by some odors.
So if you do bring a dog and it causes any trouble then we will ask you to remove it from the camp site.

Service dogs are of course allowed and welcomed together with their human companion.

Driving objects

Is it ok to bring a bicycle and to cycle on the campground?
Yes

Flying objects

Phones

Will there be a private DECT Network?
Yes, see POC.

Will there be a private GSM Network?
