Please note that campsites for this weekend are ONLY available for festival attendees, and all members of your camping party who are 13 and older must purchase a festival pass (1/2 price for teenagers 13-17 when accompanied by a parent). Each campsite reservation must be for at least 2 adults, with no additional charge for children under 13 accompanied by an adult. Advance purchase festival passes (by May 25) are $100 per person age 18 yrs & up for those reserving a site, a full weekend pass or for those who prefer to Camp in the Rough (CIR--No site charge, No ground fires, generators, or pets allowed, no hook-ups or picnic tables provided and no saving spaces). For 2008, we are offering 60 spaces in our ballfield “picker’s lot”, each of which is 750 sq ft. These spaces are $60 for the weekend (plus weekend passes), and will fill quickly. All other CIR is free, and will be at various locations throughout the campground (including a “quiet rough” for those who don’t prefer the late-night picking). Prices after May 25 and at the gate are $120 for an adult weekend pass (1/2 price for teens 13-17). Individual Day Visitor passes for Thur, Fri, Sat or Sun may be purchased in advance, or at the gate. During this weekend, our quiet hours at the “picker’s lot” are relaxed to allow non-amplified bluegrass picking and singing during the night. Join the many campers who will be staying for both our Bluegrass Festival and our Cajun/Zydeco Blast from the Bayou on June 5-8.
