Car campers and RV campers are asked to arrive Saturday 3/18 prior to 5PM and exit Monday morning on 3/20. This is to protect the safety of fellow festival goers. Once parked you are not to drive around grounds at anytime (special permission / assistance is required if you have to exit your vehicle from the grounds for any reason).  YOU MUST HAVE A CAMPING WRISTBAND TO ENTER THE CAMPING AREAS. Please note - fires and open flames are not allowed anywhere on the festival grounds. Propane stoves are permitted and we ask all to be mindful of safety in the camping areas.
