BUY YOUR CAMPING PASS HERE

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• When you purchase your camping pass, you can choose the Family Camping option. Family camping will be reserved for those seeking more peaceful camping surroundings with a noise curfew, and will be located in a separate section of the camp ground. We’re asking you to choose your option so we can guage how many campers will want to be in this separate area.

• All campers in the general camping area must be 18 years of age or older and have a valid I.D. Sorry, no exceptions.

• Campers under 18 will only be allowed in the Family Camping area, and must be accompanied by a legal guardian at all times. Children under 13 camp for free.

• Each camping attendee must have a Weekend Pass wristband in addition to a camping wristband for entrance.

• Camping is rain or shine.

WHERE WILL I CAMP?

A large area in the ranch will be sectioned off to accommodate camping. Basic camping is first-come-first-serve, so arrive early to get your preferred spot. Campers, be aware and respectful of the space you’re taking up with your tent. Each tent should take up no more than a 15 x 15 foot area. We’re not going to be walking around with measuring tapes or anything – just be respectful of these guidelines.

I WANT TO BRING MY RV OR CAMPER – HOW DOES THAT WORK?

RVs and campers under 25 ft will be charged $100 to park. Over 25 ft the fee is $150. There are no hookups. If you absolutely need power we can work something out fair on site – we’re still working out costs. Everyone in your RV must have a camping pass. You’ll have access to the camping amenities listed below, but you will need to park on the perimeter of the camping area. No vehicles are allowed in the camping area, and locking parking blocks may be installed on your vehicle for safety.

RVs and campers must arrive by noon on Friday, and must leave by noon on Monday.

Just as with camping, RV’s are only allowed for those with a weekend pass to the festival.

WHAT IS INCLUDED WITH THE CAMPING PASS?

• Entry to the camping area.

• Access to camping area facilities, including showers and portable restrooms.*

• 24 hour security.

• 24 hour cafe and general store.

* These portable restrooms are not port-a-potties. Portable restrooms have sinks and flushable toilets and require a lot of water (we have to truck the water into the ranch), so there will be a limited number of these – and there will likely be a line. So if you can’t do without a “regular” restroom, we’ve got you covered. We will also have port-o-potties, hand washing stations etc. for quick and easy access.

PREMIUM AND TENT RENTAL OPTIONS

Premium camping and tent rental options, unfortunately, will not be available at the festival due to issues beyond our control.

REI, a national recreational equipment store with 3 locations in and around Austin, rents camping gear at the following locations:
• Austin – Downtown | (512) 482-3357
• Austin – Gateway | (512) 343-5550
• Round Rock | (512) 255-1938

CAMPGROUND SECURITY AND HELP

There will be 24-hour security in the campground. In addition, a volunteer based Campsite Assistance Team (CAT) will be in the campground area 24 hours a day to provide basic information and assistance.

If you want to voice a concern about litter, a problem with the facilities or perhaps you’re concerned about someone’s behaviour – let them know! They’ll try their best to help.

If you’re interested in volunteering to be a CAT please complete the form here.

PARKING FOR CAMPERS

Once you arrive at the festival you will be directed to the camping entrance. There you can park your car, move in for the weekend, and move out at the end of the weekend.

Cars will not be allowed to pull into the campsite area. As you will not be parked next to your campsite, be prepared to walk your camping gear into the site. It is not a far walk, but handcarts are encouraged. If you will desire in and out access throughout the weekend, be sure to tell the parking attendant.

Austin Psych Fest will send directions and more details as the festival dates approach.

CHECK-IN PROTOCOL

Check-in is located at the campground will-call table. There you will receive your camping wristband that must remain on and intact for the weekend. No wristband = no campground entry.

On-site camping opens April 26th on Friday morning at 9am, and closes on Monday, April 29th at 2pm. Early arrival is highly recommended so you can stake out your spot.

All camping attendees may be subject to search upon entry. Please refer to the on-site rules and regulations above for a list of prohibited items.
