Upper Lawson Vehicle Campground is located four miles from Town Park along the San Miguel River. It is an expansion of the Lawson Hill Campground, that is strictly for vehicle camping, not tent camping. This vehicle campground does have areas of shade. Every camper sleeping in the vehicle must have a 4-day festival pass.

Vibe: A new option for Festivarians that prefer vehicle camping. 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!

Parking: You will be directed to park in your vehicle campsite based on arrival time in an orderly arrangement. No location preferences will be considered. If you have a trailer, you will be required to land your trailer and park your tow vehicle separately.

Festival Access: Jump on the paved bike path, hike the Valley Floor Trail or the River trail into town, or catch the FREE SHUTTLE that runs every 15 min. (You can try a new way each time!)
