Whatβs Included
-
Camping is offered onsite at the Fest and is included in the price of your festival ticket. Camping will be dispersed and youβll be able to park your cars in a designated lot within short walking distance of the campsite.
Plus, Centennial Park has good cell phone service, so you can check on your kids, pets, etc.!
Please keep in mind that there wonβt be any official security around the campsite, and you are responsible for your own belongings.
Tent camping
If youβre tent camping, weβll have volunteers on site helping you find a good spot. Itβll be first come first serve with choosing sites, but we will have enough space for everyone. The campsite is within short riding / walking distance of the home base of the fest, so you can walk (or bike) to breakfast in the mornings.
Itβs also right near the Razorback Greenway, so if you want to go into town for drinks or check out any of the cool things Fayetteville has to offer, itβs all just a bike-ride away.
Vans, RVs, and Trailers
If you are sleeping in a conversion van, camper van, RV, or trailerβGREAT! There will be designated spots away from tent camping for you to set-up!
Crashing in your rig? No problem! You just have to be parked within a designated spot within the park grounds.
Off-site lodging
If camping is all together not your thing, thatβs okay! Stay tuned for more info!
