With a Priority Weekend Parking Card, you’ll have exclusive access to our parking area located at the north side of Defqon.1 on campsite 0. You can park your car close to the festival site. It's located north of Defqon.1, so there’s less chance of getting stuck in traffic upon arrival and departure. If you purchased a Travel & Stay accommodation, you’ll be able to park as close as possible to your accommodation. Keep in mind that Priority Weekend Parking is only available in combination with a Defqon.1 Weekend Ticket.

Spot at the camping

If you get to Defqon.1 by car, you get a spot on camping field 5 or 6. If you prefer to stay at another field, we highly recommend taking the bus to Defqon.1. Bus attendees are guaranteed a spot in camping fields 0-4.

As an eco-conscious festival, we wholeheartedly encourage everyone to use organized transportation. By reducing the number of cars heading to Defqon.1, we can also minimize pollution and decrease traffic congestion. We offer the following transfers:

• Transfer Service from Utrecht CS, Amsterdam CS or Schiphol Airport. This is only available with a Travel Package.
• Shuttle Service Dronten CS
• National Pick-up points
• International Pick-up points. 

Do you have a spot at The Sanctuary, The Highlands, The Friendscamp or are you in possession of a Premium wristband? Then please take the fastlane at each entrance to access campsite 0-4.

Are you coming by car, but are your camping friends in possession of a Priority Parking Card that allows them to stay at Campsite 0? In that case, you can still join them at Campsite 0, even when you arrive at Defqon.1 via the car entrance near Campsites 5 & 6. Head over to the Q-travel Help Desk located next to the bridge and show the Priority Parking Card of your friends to the stewards. They will provide you with a stamp that allows you to cross the bridge with your stuff so you can join your friends at Campsite 0.

Visit here our weekend transport page for more information.
