Camping

 Sorry, camping is only sold combined with a 4-day ticket. 

Sorry, only people who are camping can enter the campgrounds. Your wristband will grant you entrance only to the campground in which you are camping; for example, you can’t visit your friends in the Festival Campground if you are camping in the Quiet Campground.

Sorry, due to safety reasons only those with a valid Festival Campground wristband can enter the Festival Campground.

Quiet camping is a bit further away from the Festival site and offers a great experience with plenty of shade, shelters with running water and flush toilets. It’s a quiet environment to ensure a good night’s sleep. There is a free shuttle to the Festival site every 30 minutes (it is not accessible). Thousands of festivalgoers camp there every year – and they love it! Quiet Campground Box Office will open at 12:00 PM on Wednesday.

Yes, we offer unserviced RV/trailer camping in a specific area in both of our campgrounds. Due to the popularity of the RV/trailer camping sections, you must purchase an RV/trailer permit in advance to ensure you will get a spot when you arrive. 

Yes, the maximum Tent Size is 10’ x 20’, maximum tent peg length is 12”. Tent size restrictions allow you to safely enjoy the space with your fellow folkies.

When setting up your tent please ensure at least one foot of clear ground space all around your tent in case of emergency to allow first responders to safely assist you and/or your neighbours.

It takes significantly more infrastructure and resources to create the Festival Campground. The price of the Festival Campground reflects the additional services and infrastructure we’ve invested in to improve and increase lighting, first aid and offer food vendors. The Festival Campground also requires more security to ensure the safety and well-being of its community. 

The capacity of the Festival Campground is established in consultation with the RCMP and Birds Hill Provincial Park. It is capped to ensure a positive and safe experience for everyone.

The province decides if campfires are permitted or not. If the province does permit campfires they are only allowed in approved pits. Please check the Government of Manitoba's Fire & Travel Restrictions page below.  https://www.gov.mb.ca/sd/parks/fire_restriction.html
