Family/Quiet Camping Area
If you have children with you or enjoy quiet at the festival you may want to consider camping in the family/quiet camping area. We have two of those on site and they both contain tent and vehicle camping. Ask the parking crew where this is upon arrival.
Early Camping / Set-up
We allow people to begin camping or set up camp beginning the Saturday before the festival. There is a $10 early set-up fee. Early Vehicle or RV Camping is $10 per day.
If you plan to set up early or camp early, please pay your fee and pick up your camping passes upon entry to the grounds . Do not set up without receiving a camping pass! You may set up as much as you want, but you cannot rope off extra space to be used later.
Campfires
Please see the ticket booth for this year’s campfire notice. If the weather has been very dry, we will not allow fires.

We welcome our friends from Project Shelter! If you would like to camp at the festival, but don’t have any gear, you can rent gear from them or have them set up the site for you!
Check out the options and purchase one of these Basecamp setups, here!
Any gear that you don’t want to drag home can be dropped off with Project Shelter for donation. Project Shelter is partnered with a Liberian non-profit called Youth Crime Watch of Liberia. They host a variety of workshops to educate locals. YCWL is in need of gear (tents, chairs, tarps, blankets, etc.) to accommodate families traveling to these workshops.
