2013 Camping

Camping is FREE on Friday and Saturday night at the Balloon Museum in the designated campground area. The camping area will open at 3pm on Friday. Campers must vacate the festival campgrounds by 2pm on Sunday.

Campsites for RV’s and tents will need to be spaced at least 20 feet apart. A fire lane must remain clear in and out of the campground area. Registration forms will be available at the campground entrance and are to be filled in at the time of camp setup. No preregistration available.

Grey Water:

No grey water dumping on the grounds at all!

A small grey water station will be provided for tent campers only at designated sites.

“Parkin' lot pickin'”:

Expect parkin' lot pickin' all night. This is why many folks like to camp out. As long as acoustic music is being played, we do not expect that to disturb anyone. We recommend ear plugs for anyone who requires a full night of sleep in the campground!

Radios, stereos, RV generators and other loud devices:

Your campground neighbor would appreciate no loud noises in the campgrounds. Be considerate: NO LOUD RADIOS OR STEREOS AT ANY TIME. Persons causing a disturbance will be asked to leave.
