There is generally no entitlement for the provisioning of a certain camping space.

GREEN COLOGNE BAY

The Fühlinger See is a nature preserve where we are guests for a weekend. Please collect your garbage and leave your camping site just the way you found it.
We provide an unlimited amount of garbage bags at the entrance and exit areas. You will find "garbage enclosures" on the camping grounds. Please deposit your closed garbage bags there. We will transport them away from there. Our Camping Security and the Camp Service Stations will always have free garbage bags available for you and will always help you out with advice or anything else you need.
Keep Cologne Bay Clean ... contribute to leaving the Festival Grounds clean – "leave only footprints".

We will charge €10 garbage deposit in the Camping Ticket
When you hand in your garbage bag, the information will be stored on your chip on the festival wristband.
On Friday, Saturday and Sunday you will get the €10 back on the festival island.
On Monday at all wristband exchange stations around the Fühlinger See.
