  • Lawson Hill is a gorgeous space with stunning views and river access nearby. There are only 15 vehicle camping spots at this campground. Please note that tent camping is not allowed in this area.

    You can enjoy an easy bike ride into Town or catch our free shuttle directly to the Festival grounds. Either way, you’re in paradise!

    • Your vehicle pass does not include your 2-Day Event wristbands. 

    • You may enter the campground and start setting up as long as you have your vehicle pass confirmation, but please bring your ticket confirmation to the Box Office ASAP to exchange for your 2-Day Event wristbands and vehicle pass.

    • Our preference is that your car remain parked throughout the weekend.

      • Everything you need for food, fun, and recreation is a short shuttle or bike ride from camp.

      • When you return, please drive to the Lawson Hill Camp hosts and staff will help you repark your car.

      • If you try to park somewhere not directed by staff, you risk an expensive ticket!

  • No, generators are not allowed. Concert camping is very high density, and it is almost impossible to safely use generators without them being too close to your neighbors’ tents. Please be respectful of your fellow campers and leave those generators at home. If you need to use medical devices overnight, we request that you utilize battery packs.
