1. Camping is only available only to those who purchase a Festival (Weekend) Pass. In order to access the campground, fairgoers will need to show their Festival (Weekend) Wristbands.
2. In the week leading up to the Fair, we offer the privilege of early setup for camping for our volunteers only. The fairgrounds will be open to campers at 9am on Friday prior to The Fair. All fairgoers are expected to vacate the fairgrounds by 7pm on Sunday . Given that all campers must have a wristband to enter the camping areas, campers must check in, at the Main Gate, between the hours of 9am and 11pm, on Friday or Saturday. Volunteer Camping will begin at 5pm on Wednesday prior to The Fair and end at 7pm Sunday.
3. Currently, our long-term plan is to eventually remove all vehicles (other than trailers) from the lower treed area.  We ask that campers to park at the top of the hill, and carry, lug, wheel or cart their camping equipment into the campground. There is a $30 Vehicle Access Fee for all trailers and vehicles. The fee will be charged per vehicle per entry into the campground. In other words every time you leave and then drive back into the campground you will be charged another $30. That is, if you can get back in — car passes are only available at the gate on a  first come first served basis with limited spots available.
4. Trailer space in lower camping fills up quickly. Camping sites are not designated, please park larger units in a way that allows for maxim space for neighbours. We will be able to assist.

Volunteer Camping

Volunteer Camping will begin at 5pm on Wednesday prior to the Fair, and end at 7pm on Sunday. Of course, volunteers who are actively involved in either set up or strike may, with permission, camp on site prior to or after the designated dates. Volunteers may check in to camp on Wednesday or Thursday between 5pm and 9pm, or may check in with regular campers anytime after Friday at 9am.

Given that we appreciate the hard work and dedication of our volunteers, who help make the Fair possible, volunteers who arrive before Friday may use their vehicles to drop off their camping gear. We ask that our volunteers set a good example for other fairgoers by parking their vehicles in the lot at the top of the hill. Those volunteers who need to camp in or with their vehicles will not be charged a vehicle access fee unless they leave and return to the grounds between Friday at 9am and Sunday at 7pm. Every vehicle entry (volunteer or not) between Friday at 9am and Sunday at 7pm will be charged $30.
