camping info
RV and quiet camping are over a hill from the main stage area. These spots are more developed and much bigger, with a lot more room. It is a bit of a hike, so plan to enjoy nature.
We ask that you plan to practice a more "off-grid" RV camping lifestyle. Generators are allowed outside of quiet hours (10pm-9am) due to the proximity of RV camping to the quiet camping zone.
No. Camping is dispersed style, and first-come, first-serve.
All camping is first-come, first-serve. Please plan to arrive together if you would like to camp together.
Spots in quiet camping are much bigger and more developed, so consider upgrading if camping as a group is important to you.
Not at this time. We intend to have a shuttle service between the main festival grounds and RV/quiet camping. The only exception is if you have a valid ADA requirement and are unable to walk or use the shuttle.
