Camping
There are a variety of camping options available for High Sierra Music Festival. Tent camping (available first come, first served) is included in the cost of your festival pass. All campers must have a festival pass. Parking Passes (including RVs on and off-site) must be purchased separately.
On-Site Camping
Tent and RV options available. Camping is designated on a first come, first served basis. If on-site camping is at capacity, off-site camping with shuttling will be provided. The fairgrounds have permanent restrooms and showers, and we supplement the facilities with ample portable toilets, a shower trailer and a portable sink unit. Camping at High Sierra can be quite cozy, especially in the more popular areas such as Shady Grove, Hillside and Big Meadow.
Family Camp — we try to create a more kid-friendly environment in the eastern end of the Shady Grove campground (quieter late at night; louder early in the morning). An On-site Vehicle Pass is required for parking in Family Camp, and as always space is designated on a first come, first served basis, and fills up very quickly. If you’ve got little ones in tow and you are interested in camping in Family Camp, let your shuttle driver or parking attendant know upon arrival.
Please be courteous and take only the space you need. Roping off areas and saving space for latecomers is not acceptable festival etiquette.
