CAMPS
Tented mischief
While we are united underneath one village, there are five unique camps that make up the Mad Hatters Village, each with their own flair, creativity and particular mark on the multiverse, all working together to add exponential extra to the ordinary.
Sound, vibration, connection

We hire large bedouins for each camp: waterproof, deep-shade sanctuaries where personal tents nestle safely from the desert elements. Each bedouin also houses its own activated lounge with unique daily programming from Tuesday to Saturday. Check the WTF guide at the event for the full rundown.
Showers
Our shower trailer has four booths, stocked with water, biodegradable soap, shampoo, and conditioner. If you bring your own products, please ensure they're biodegradable.
