Wednesday Night Camping

Start your Blue Ox weekend one night early by arriving on Wednesday, June 25th for camping at The Pines Music Park!

Arriving on Wednesday will make your Blue Ox experience more stress free since you won’t have to wake up at the crack of dawn to get here early on Thursday and in turn you will have more time to relax at camp before the music starts Thursday afternoon.

*Wednesday night camping pass is priced per person (14 years and older) and covers accommodations for camping one more night at The Pines.

Q: If I want to arrive on Wednesday night, do I need to purchase a Wednesday Night Camping Pass? 

A: It depends on how you plan to camp at the Pines. Please see all details below based on how you plan to camp here.

 


Unreserved Tent Campers / Car Camping:

Yes, you need to purchase a Wednesday Camping pass priced per person (14 years and older)

Check-in Time: Wednesday, June 25th 3pm-9pm (Do NOT arrive early)

*If you arrive early, you will be directed to leave and park in our off-site lot located at 3443 Crescent Ave or you can wait in a line on Eagle Lane. Getting here early does not mean you will get into the grounds in order of getting into line. Eagle Lane is a waiting area, not a line to get in first.  Those with a Wednesday Camping pass will be allowed into the venue starting at 3:00PM at our Fields Gate. Lines formed within the Fields Gate will be first come first served in terms of entry. Lines off Eagle Lane mean nothing in terms of entry.

PURCHASE WEDNESDAY CAMPING PASS

 

Fields Gate: Anyone with a Wednesday Camping pass MUST use the Fields Gate to be scanned in. If you arrive at the Pines gate you will be turned away and directed to the Fields Gate.

*Late arrivals will NOT be allowed into the grounds if you are unable to arrive by 9pm. Check-in will open again on Thursday, June 26th at 7am.

*We encourage you to ONLY purchase Wednesday camping if you are able to arrive before 9pm on Wednesday June 25th since refunds will not be offered if you cannot arrive on time.

 

What you need to gain access on Wednesday:

  • Wednesday Night camping pass (per person 14 years and older)
  • 3-day admission pass (per person 14 years and older)

Price: $40/person – Pass on Sale Soon!

*Price covers accommodations for camping one more night at The Pines.

 

Camping Space: Please only take the space that you need. NO roping off or saving additional camping space for friends that have not yet arrived. We have a lot people that will need space in our unreserved areas and we want to make sure everyone has an enjoyable festival experience.

Family Unreserved Camp: Please help us conserve the very limited space in our family camping area. It may be tempting to setup in this area due to its convenience to the festival area however, we ask you to please respect the fact that families with young children have unique challenges in attending a music festival, and we would like to make it easier on them. Please save family camp for families with children.


Reserved Campsites / Pre-Set Camping & Camping Cabins:

No, you do not need to purchase a Wednesday Camping pass but everyone MUST arrive TOGETHER

Check-in Time: Wednesday June 25th Noon-9pm; sign up is not required

*Pre-set tents and camping cabins will not be ready for move-in until 4pm

*Tip* Peak traffic times are Wednesday 3-6pm. Decrease wait times by arriving either between Noon-2:30pm or 6-9pm

 

What you need to gain access on Wednesday:

  • The reserved campsite ticket is your ‘golden’ ticket into the grounds.
    • (1) Reserved ticket allows up to 6 people total (14+) to arrive for free on Wednesday.
    • Everyone must arrive TOGETHER with the reserved campsite ticket holder if you want to camp Wednesday night.
  • 3-day admission pass (per person 14 years and older)

 

*No meeting people at the gate. No duplicates/copies of reserved campsite tickets allowed. Once your ticket is scanned then it will NOT work for other people arriving separate from you. Unfortunately, people took advantage of Wednesday reserved camping in the past which is why EVERYONE must arrive together and follow the above rules. No exceptions.

*Arriving together ONLY pertains to reserved campsites who want to gain access on Wednesday for free. Anyone arriving on Thursday can drive in separate from the reserved campsite ticket holder and would just need admission to gain access.

**Unreserved camping areas will be restricted to the general public until 3:00pm**

**More detailed arrival info will be emailed to the reserved campsite holder closer to the festival.
