Camping
CAMPING IS SOLD PER PERSON, NOT PER SITE. You will need to purchase a camping pass for EVERY person over the age of 12 in your group. A camping ticket is for TENT SPACE ONLY.
Nope! While we love all animals, they are not permitted in any campgrounds, or on the festival grounds.
In order to camp with a vehicle or RV, everyone in your party must have a camping pass for the respective campground and you must purchase an additional vehicle pass for your camper, car, or trailer of choice.
For Example: You and two friends want to camp in your sweet 1980’s Winnebago Camper Van. Nice! To do that, you must purchase three camping passes and one vehicle or RV pass in addition to your Festival passes.
A vehicle is considered anything requiring a license plate, e.g. a camper, trailer, tow vehicle, etc. If you intend to have both your camper-trailer and tow vehicle in the campground, then you must have 2 vehicle passes or a vehicle pass and an RV pass, depending on the length of the camper trailer. (see above FAQ)
If you don’t need your vehicle in the campground - for sleeping or for storage - you don’t need a campground vehicle pass. Most Festivarians don’t purchase a vehicle pass. You can temporarily drive into the campground to unload your gear, and park your vehicle in our adjacent parking lot.
No, that is one of the beautiful things about FallGrass. There will be ample camping space and no special load in procedure.
Our on-site campground has a bathhouse which includes access to free showers.
Unfortunately, fires are not allowed on Planet Bluegrass property.
Nope! The campground will close at noon on Sunday, September 21th.
You’re already there! Just stroll to the Wildflower Pavilion.
Generators: We prefer that you don’t bring generators when camping at our festivals. This is a great opportunity to disconnect! But if you must, here are the rules:
- Generator quiet hours are 11pm to 7am everyday. Please DO NOT run your generators during this time.
- DO NOT run your generator if you are not present at camp.
- You must have a fire extinguisher within 10’ of your generator at all times it is running (our staff will ask!)
- DO NOT place your generator near tall grass or shrubs
- Be conscious and respectful to your neighbors
