CAMPING OPTIONS: Camping at El Prado Campground or Horse Heaven Campground is included in a Festival Pass for Friday and Saturday nights. A $50 parking pass is required for each vehicle parking in El Prado or Horse Heaven. We encourage you to stay with us both nights and to carpool!
El Prado Group Campground is close to the action and consists of 4 camping areas with plenty of room for your tent set up. All camping in El Prado is first come, first served in designated group camp areas. Vans, small campers or rooftop tents are acceptable but there is no room for motor homes or trailers in El Prado Campground for this event. Because of the layout of the area and as parking is limited, we may need to ask you to park your car away from your camp area but still within El Prado Campground. Hot tip: Wagons are great for getting your stuff to your chosen camping area!
Horse Heaven Group Campground is located approximately ½ mile from El Prado Campground. Access the venue area by hitting Lightning Ridge Trail and then through Mount Laguna Campground to El Prado to join the fun. Ideal for those wanting a quieter option or space for extended family or larger groups of friends. A small number of trailers or motor homes under 24 feet may be accommodated. No hookups. Probably not ideal for those with small kids.
Attendees are responsible for bringing all necessary camping equipment to ensure a comfortable and safe stay. While some food is provided with registration, attendees are responsible for bringing the majority of their own food and anything else needed for a fun and safe weekend.
PARKING: Parking is very limited at this event!
GRAB YOUR CARPOOL BUDDIES NOW! In an effort to go green and ensure we maximize the very limited parking available, each vehicle parking in El Prado or Horse Heaven will be required to purchase a $50 parking pass during registration.
