Camping and weekend admission are sold separately; purchase of a camp site does not include weekend admission, and a ticket for admission does not include camping.

***NEW ADDITIONAL CAMPING AREA***

Posted July 2, 2010:

We have just leased several acres of land adjacent to the fair grounds to be used for additional camping this year.  We are calling it "Next-Door Camping" and it will be sold first-come-first-served (not in advance). Each site will cost $135 which includes camping on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. This is a flat weekend rate and there is no single-day rate. Sites can either have one tent and one vehicle or two tents.

If you have already ordered OFF-site camping (for $70) and wish to camp in the new Next-Door camping area instead, you will be able to "upgrade" your ticket upon arrival by bringing your OFF-site ticket and paying the difference of $65.

This new camping area in no way affects the OFF-site camping, which will still function as usual. (But you can choose to upgrade if you wish)

The area is entered from Rabbit Run Road near the back gate. Look for signs as you approach on Rabbit Run Road. The camping area will open at noon on Thursday July 22- DO NOT attempt to come before noon as the road will be closed and you will not be able to enter the road until noon or just after.

For questions and information, call our office at 607-387-5098 or email info@grassrootsfest.org

Tent passes can be purchased for an additional $75 until they sell out. Tent passes can only be purchased by the original buyer of the vehicle camping pass.

Additional tent passes can be purchased in advance for $75 until they sell out. Tent passes can only be purchased by the original buyer of the RV camping pass.
3. Shipping of onsite vehicle camping and RV tickets: All orders containing vehicle camping and RV tickets will be shipped certified mail. Someone must sign upon delivery.
4. All onsite camping goes on sale Feb. 14 and must be reserved in advance. This always sells out VERY quickly.
