Music and Camping Weekend Pass
Thursday 6/22 to Sunday 6/25 2023
Tent camping opens at 1pm on June 22.
This is an even geared towards grownups. 
If you have a "festival kid" or "concert kid" that's seen it all, you are welcome to bring them, but they need this ticket. There are no kids tickets or discounts. Everyone needs a ticket no matter the age. 
Please do not line up outside or near the entrance prior to that - there is no need! There is a LOT of fantastic camping available - more than we need for the number of tickets we'll be selling.
Bring your tent and chill with us for music, food, and fun!
Bring your music if you make it! Jams galore!
On-stage music Thursday evening + all day Friday and Saturday + late nights!
You may come and go, but there is no discount for not camping.

Please understand we try to keep the price of tickets reasonable. So far, we've lost money on every event. These events cost a lot to produce! We rent the full facility for the duration of the event, we bring in a big professional covered stage, we hire Cheetah Sound to bring amazing gear and manage all facets of sound production for a top-notch experience every time, we hire experienced stage hands who are also musicians for fast turnover between acts, AND we pay the musicians, It adds up - and our capacity is only 150 including all musicians and volunteers. Our volunteers buy a ticket like everyone else to pitch in on the cost. We aren't looking for people to volunteer for a free ticket. Capacity is so small, it is impossible to give tickets away. We're a community and have fantastic attendees who help us make it happen! IF you'd like to be more involved and help setup, do tasks during the event, cleanup/tear down - please do get in touch! Just understand, we really don't have volunteer tickets.

Weekend Pass - Rail on the River Music Fest 6/22-25 2023

Saturday Day-Only Pass 
Saturday is the only day we plan to offer a day pass.

SATURDAY Only Pass - Rail on the River Music Fest 6/22-25/23

RV Pass up to 38'
Thursday 6/22 to Sunday 6/25 2023
This ticket allows you to bring your RV.
Each person must also purchase a weekend pass to attend.
Note: 
There is no sewer hookup or dump on-site.
Electricity is available on a shared basis. There are many outlets, but there may not be one right where you are parked. There is limited space for RVs, so the camp host does his best to park everyone so it works. Be prepared with an extension cable and splitter so it's easy to share. Plug-ins are 30-amp style - bring a splitter to be able to share. Due to the shared nature of electricity, don't plan on running AC. It gets nice and cool at night and there's lots of shade! There is water available for filling up, but it is also shared. You'll be able to refill as needed, but no dedicated connections. All this said - everyone cooperates well and this has always worked out for everyone! VERY limited # of RV passes sold. When they are gone, they are gone! 
If you are dragging your RV, you'll need to unhook and park your truck away from the RV area. No generators allowed in the main camping area. If you need to run your generator, tell us when you arrive and we can park you a little further away, in a not-too-shady spot with no house power. You'll basically be boondocking but still very close to all the activities and the stage (less than a 5 minute walk).
If you need to leave the festival with your RV before Sunday, please let us know when you arrive so we can arrange for your departure. There is no re-entry with RVs.

Small RV - (20 ft or less) Pass

Small RV's are considered "boondockers"
Electricity may be available on a shared basis but not guaranteed. There are outlets, but there may not be one right where you are parked.

Plug-ins are 30-amp style - bring a splitter to be able to share. Due to the shared nature of electricity, don't plan on running AC or using anything that comes a lot of AC. It gets nice and cool at night and there's lots of shade! There is water available for filling up, but it is also shared. You'll be able to refill as needed, but no dedicated connections. All this said - everyone cooperates well and this has always worked out for everyone! VERY limited # of RV passes sold. When they are gone, they are gone!
