from Budapest, Hungary (Permalink)Hi there!
We're definitely staying in a tent on Sziget.
There are several showering zones on Sziget (with mobile showers), but usually these aren't enough and there are relatively long queues.
There are also AXE promotional showers: they present you with a pair of swimming boxers and a towel, you take a shower in their open shower (no curtains or walls, but that's why they offer swimming boxers) using AXE shower gel. These are usually without queues.
Some people also choose to find CSers near-by to come and shower (and have a bit of rest from festival) in someone's place.
For all your important belongings there are safety lockers (free, if I remember correctly) in the festival's area. There is also Lost&Found tent.
We never had any of our stuff stolen, but such stories are not unknown, so it's better to be careful (plus there is always a risk of getting too drunk and loosing your passport/cellphone/etc, so it's better to out all the VERY IMPORTANT stuff to the lockers).
Closer to the festival dates you will see a camping space related post, where we will decide upon where to arrange a CS-camping, who is willing to help with space reservation (to come to the island as early as possible and take up as much space as they can), who needs a tent space reserved for them (those late-comers who want to make sure they will have a spot for their tent, when they arrive).
Last year even during the last days of the festival we still saw a lot of nice shady spots in different areas.
Hope that helps :)

from Utrecht, Netherlands (Permalink)When you are only staying 3 nights, you don't even need a shower. It's like normal festivals, you never take a shower there. That is part of the experience.
