This pass is for your vehicle; it allows you to enter our main campgrounds on Friday or any day thereafter. Gates open at 8:00am. This pass allows you to camp in or next to your vehicle. Campsite sizes are 20′ x 20′ and all accommodations must fit within this space.

There are no generators allowed in the car camping area.

NOTE: You must have a festival pass to camp at NMF and to be allowed access to the site. The Car Camping Pass DOES NOT include a festival ticket.

Backcountry (Hike-In) Camping Pass SOLD OUT

A benefit of the new site is that we are surrounded by beautiful forest land. If you’d prefer a more quiet and intimate camping experience, but don’t mind a hike, backcountry camping might be for you. Please remember to LEAVE NO TRACE. In other words, you must pack everything into your campsite and pack everything out. Limited Backcountry camping at NMF is a new and exciting option and its future is dependent on you, our NMF family, to respect the property and the environment.

Backcountry spots are not specifically designated and are first come first served. Wooded tent spots can be found within 500 feet of the parking area and as far as 3/4 of a mile. This camping pass grants you one weekend parking spot in our Backcountry Camping parking area, and one tent tag for use in our hike-in primitive camping area. If the members of your vehicle require more than one tent, please purchase an additional tent tag.

NOTE: You must have a festival pass to camp at NMF and to be allowed access to the site. The Backcountry Camping Pass DOES NOT include a festival ticket.

RV Camping Pass SOLD OUT

An RV Camping Pass is required for each RV entering the Nelsonville Music Festival campground. Each RV space will be about 20′ X 50′. Tents can also be set up if they are within this space, and any slides or awnings must fit within this designated space too. As we develop our new festival site, The RV area does not yet have electricity and/or water hookups. Because of this, and unlike past NMFs, quiet generators are permitted in the RV area ONLY.

Please email tickets@nelsonvillefest.org if you’d like to join the waitlist.
