Vibe: Just five minutes down river from Planet Bluegrass, LaVern Johnson Park (formerly known as Meadow Park) is a beautiful park under towering rock cliffs, owned and maintained by the Town of Lyons. Camping is available under shady trees next to the river, as well as open camping in the field. This campground also features several playground areas, showers (additional fee), and river access (with a whitewater course) along the perimeter of the park.
Parking: If you don’t purchase a vehicle pass, parking is available at Planet Bluegrass Farm for $10 cash/weekend. Shuttles run from the Farm Parking to the Campground and the walk is roughly 0.7 miles.
Festival Access: Walk a half mile (past some local breweries and coffee shops!) to the festival grounds, or grab the shuttle at the stop across the street from the entrance.
PRO TIP: You can ride an inner tube down the river from the festival grounds back to your campsite!
