Camping Q/A

Will there be any special organized camper activities?

What's the site like?
It's a basic open field, relatively flat and grassy, accessed via a Fairgrounds road.

What amenities will be provided?
The site is handicapped accessible. It has running water, toilets and hot showers. Ice will be available at Friday, Saturday and Sunday at limited times. Free Jambalaya Samples on Friday Night Only.

Should I bring a tent, a pop-up, or an RV?
That's entirely up to you.  

Where can I keep my car?
For your convenience, your vehicle may be parked near your site. After that, however, for everybody's safety, it may not be moved until you leave. If you will not be staying for the duration, or expect to use your car during the weekend, you will need to park in the lot instead.

Will there be food for sale for the campers?
We will cook 3 pots of Jambalaya for Friday night to be served free around 6 PM at the Jambalaya Booth. Beer/soda/drinks will be available for sale Friday near the Pavilion Stage. Beignets and coffee will be available Saturday and Sunday mornings

What's the campground schedule?
The campground will be open for arrivals on Friday, from 10 AM until 9 PM, and again on Saturday morning, from 9 AM until 11 AM. Campers arriving between load-in times will have the choice of carrying their things in, or waiting for vehicle access. All campers must leave by Noon Monday.

How can I coordinate group camping?
One way is to arrive together. For safety and efficiency, We will be parking campers on a first-come, first-served basis, filling up each area in sequence, so it will be easier to keep you together if you all park at the same time. There will be an area where you can arrange to meet, or wait for the rest of your group to assemble, ahead of time. The only way to guarantee group-style camping is to buy your tickets in a single block. Because this helps us with planning, we will honor such requests.

Will we be able to cook?
Yes, but not on an open campfire. For safety reasons, small pit or wood fires are permitted, small charcoal and gas grills are allowed if they are 12 inches above the ground. You must have an ABC fire extinguisher readily available near your fire. You may bring your own food and beverages (but no glass, please), as well as an ice chest if you are camping. Keep all food tightly stored in your cooler, secure in a vehicle (not in your tent), and maintain a safe and sanitary site. Food and beverages from the campground are not permitted in the concert area including Friday night. Any oil should be put in container, Let us know if you need us to dispose of it or take it home.

Can I sell food/drink/jewelry/clothes/etc.?
No vending is permitted in the campground. You will be asked to leave. No Refunds.

Will we be able to jam?
Certainly! We welcome acoustic instruments and all styles of music. We do ask, however, that you respect your neighbors and the 10 PM sound curfew.

What should I bring?
If you are tenting it, don't forget your ground cloth, sleeping bag and/or blankets and pillow. Pack comfortable shoes and clothes to layer for a variety of possible weather conditions. Bring food, snacks, bottled water and ice chest; toiletries and towels; hat or visor; sunglasses, suntan lotion and bug spray.

What's The Grove?
Campers will be able to set up day tents in The Grove. The Grove is on the other side of the fence, thru the double gate, near the Main Stage (Look to the right of the pond) on Saturday Morning as early as 9 AM. Single Day Ticket holders are welcome to visit and set up in the Grove. No Commercial signage on tents, no bigger than 10 x 10 and no sides. Tents MUST be staked down when unattended. We can't wake up Sunday and have a cluster of Tents if we get some wind. No Over nite camping in these Tents. This area will be fenced and you can enter only by walking thru the main field. Tents in the Grove can be left up Saturday night and must be be picked up Sunday Night.

What should I leave at home?
Pets, kegs, glass jars and bottles, and, of course, anything else you should not have to begin with (fireworks, weapons, other illicit/illegal substances, etc.). No golf carts, ATVs (all-terrain vehicles), motorized scooters, skateboards, bicycles. Motorcycles can't be rode from the camping area into the festival area . NO PETS. Please don't bring so much that you can't leave your site as clean as you found it.

What if I have special needs or circumstances?
We want to make this an annual camping event, one that's enjoyable for everybody, so we will do what we can. Let us know in advance if you foresee a problem or have additional questions. Let us know if you have special dietary needs in advance.

Anything else I should worry about?
Probably not, Fine Print: Management reserves the right to search tents and vehicles, and to evict anyone behaving improperly or stupid.
You will be able to walk back and forth from the campground to the festival all day long. Food and drinks can be brought into the campground from the festival, but nothing can be brought into the festival area.
Our festival camping areas are onsite on the fairgrounds property, a few hundred yards from the main stage.
