OTHER IMPORTANT RV STUFF
An RV is any vehicle equal to or larger than a 15-passenger van. All oversized vehicles, trailers, campers that are towed, and buses are considered RV’s. These vehicles, if staying with us the entire weekend, need an RV Pass.
RV spots are 20′ X 40′.
20, 30 and 50-amp electrical service is available in Campgrounds East. However, the number of 50-amp hookups is limited, so please order early. Campgrounds West only has 20-amp electrical service.
All RV’s have access to a water spigot (gravity feed) and to the waste water dump site on the festival grounds (you empty your own waste tank). If you desire, you can make arrangements with our portable toilet company to have them pump out your waste water tank on Sunday morning, June 24. The contact information for this service will be given to you on site at check-in.
