The campgrounds are on grass. The main campgrounds are not flat, however we do have a reserve of flat camp grounds in the VIP area for accessibility purposes. Please reach out if you wish to access that area.

Please note that Sonder is located on farmland, and as such the accessibility is dependent on the weather. We will have limited capacity to repair roads and walkways if they are damage during the festival.
