The best way to ensure you can camp with your friends is to be sure you have purchased tickets for the same Camp and arrive together.
Camping spots are allocated by staff upon your arrival to ensure there's enough space for everyone. Meet up with your group before heading over to your campground so that you can get neighbouring spots.
If you have a Bookatent Premium package (Glamping and Prem-Tent), the spots are allocated in advance. You may email hello@rhythmandvines.co.nz to make a co-location request for packages.
