Tips for the Blue Ox 2025 Early Bird Sale:

Afton Account: Part of the purchase process includes logging into an existing Afton account or creating a new one. You can create an Afton Account HERE ahead of the on sale date to save time.

Time Limit: Once you cart your ticket(s) and/or campsite(s) you will have 12 minutes to complete your purchase. *If you plan to purchase a reserved campsite, then we recommend that you cart your site first and then add your admission tickets. You can also purchase your campsite in a separate order from your ticket(s).

*If you have an Afton account, log in BEFORE the on-sale begins to save time.

*If you decide to checkout as a guest during the on-sale, you can always go back in and access your tickets in your account by selecting ‘Forgot Password’.

 

Reserved Campsite Map Color Coding: In order to purchase a campsite, you will need to navigate to the RESERVED CAMPSITE MAP tab and then select the section that you would like to camp in. Once you select the camping section, a new map with numbered squares will pop up. Look for a white square (available) to select and add to your cart.

  • White Square = Available campsite
  • Gray Square = Sold campsite (unavailable)
  • Yellow Square = Carted Campsite
  • Purple Square = Campsite YOU selected

*Admission tickets DO NOT need to be in your cart to buy a campsite but we encourage you to buy tickets early to lock-in the best prices. Reserved campsites do not include admission.

*Unreserved tent camping is included with all admission passes. If you plan to bring an RV, pull behind/trailer, or pop-up/tear-drop camper you will need to purchase a RESERVED site.

Availability:

  • Family Reserved (98 total sites) and Pines Reserved (65 total sites) will SELL OUT within seconds of on-sale due to the VERY limited number we have available to sell.
  • Reserved sites in the Fields and Prairie do not sell out as quickly so if you are looking to book multiple sites together for a large group then we would suggest booking in one of these sections.
  • There are only a limited number of tickets available at Tier 1 pricing and once they are gone we’ll automatically move onto the next price tier.

Online Purchases vs Phone Orders: You have a better chance of securing a specific campsite location by purchasing the site online (on your own time and device) instead of calling into the office since we use the same online system for phone orders and have VERY LIMITED call capacity.
