What to Expect Upon Arrival
On Thursday the parking lot will open around noon. The box office will open at 2pm. The gates into the festival open at 5pm. For the rest of the weekend the gates open at 10am.

When you first arrive you will be directed to a parking spot. This applies to everyone, even those who are vehicle camping. You will then go to the box office where you will claim will call tickets, purchase tickets, buy vehicle camping passes, etc. Once the gates are open you will be allowed to bring in your camping things and/or drive in your vehicle.

During peak hours things can get a little backed up at the box office. The biggest thing we ask of you is to PLEASE BE PATIENT! Remember, it's a long weekend of fun ahead of you and we are working as fast as we can.

Those who purchased vehicle camping passes will be allowed to drive their vehicles into a specific part of the campground. This is a one way pass. There is NO RE ENTRY. If you choose to leave the grounds with your vehicle you must either park it in the lot or purchase another pass if there are any left.

If you did not purchase a vehicle pass you will not be allowed to bring your car into the campground. NO EXCEPTIONS... Not even to pick up your stuff at the end of the weekend. If you are worried about getting your things to and from your campsite we would recommend bringing a wagon or wheel barrow to assist you.
