Festival Camping

This is your chance to experience the magic of sleeping along the banks of the Colorado River in this spectacular setting. To help make it a great experience for everyone, please read the camping details carefully.

Festival & Camping Ticket Information

Camping at Riverbend Park is what makes the Palisade Bluegrass & Roots Festival such a special weekend. Each year, festivalgoers have the rare opportunity to camp right at the festival along the Colorado River for three days. For 2027, we're offering several camping experiences, from traditional General Camping to our closest and most desirable Premium areas.

IMPORTANT: ALL TICKETS ARE SOLD PER PERSON

Camping prices are PER PERSON, NOT per campsite, tent, vehicle or RV. Every person staying in a camping area must purchase the appropriate camping ticket for that area.

For example, if four people share one tent, camper van, or RV, all four must purchase the applicable camping ticket. Each camping ticket includes three-day festival admission plus the designated camping experience for that individual.

3-Day Festival Pass — $145 PER PERSON 1000 TICKETS

Includes festival admission Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Camping is not included.

This option is ideal for guests staying locally, commuting each day, or enjoying accommodations elsewhere in the Palisade/Grand Junction area.

3-Day General Camping — $190 PER PERSON 1000 TICKETS

Includes a 3-Day Festival Pass plus General Camping for the weekend. Price is per person, not per campsite or tent.

Our most affordable way to enjoy the complete festival camping experience. Set up your tent in the designated General Camping area and make Riverbend Park your home base for three days of music, community, and festival fun.

General Camping is perfect for festival-goers who want the camping experience without needing one of our limited Premium locations. While the camping is a little further from the venue, it is still walkable; however, we do recommend that you bring a bicycle or scooter for less stress on the feet!

3-Day Premium Camping — $240 PER PERSON 100 TICKETS

Includes a 3-Day Festival Pass plus three days of Premium Camping in a smaller camper, van, tent or car. Every person camping in the Premium area must have a Premium Camping ticket.

Get closer to the action with an upgraded location and easy access to the festival grounds. This is a great choice for campers who want the atmosphere and convenience of our Premium camping community. Camping in a tent, camper, or car under 35 ft. is available with this ticket. If you are tent camping, we ask that you unload and load your car at your site and then move your car to a nearby designated parking spot to create a better camping experience for everyone. Only one vehicle per site is allowed.

3-Day Premium Lawn Tent Camping — $250 PER PERSON 75 TICKETS

Includes a 3-Day Festival Pass plus Premium Lawn Tent Camping on the Grassy Lawn. Price is per person, not per tent or campsite. Everyone sharing a tent or campsite must have their own Premium Lawn Tent Camping ticket.

The Grassy Lawn is our closest and most convenient tent-camping area, designed for guests seeking a quieter, comfortable, family-friendly experience just steps from the festival. Our premier tent-camping experience is one of the festival's most limited camping options.

The Grassy Lawn is tent-only and vehicle-free, helping us preserve the relaxed atmosphere and open grassy setting that make this area special. Campers will have designated loading and unloading access before moving vehicles to festival parking.

Space is extremely limited, and Premium Lawn Tent Camping is expected to sell out first.

3-Day Premium RV Camping — $299 PER PERSON 25 TICKETS

Includes a 3-Day Festival Pass plus Premium Vehicle/Large RV Camping. Price is per person, NOT per vehicle or RV. This ticket covers any vehicle 35 feet or longer.

If you are towing a large camper, we ask that you set up your camper and then park your vehicle in nearby Camper Parking to help make space for everyone.

Each camping group may have one approved sleeping vehicle or camping unit at its campsite. Move additional passenger and tow vehicles to designated festival parking after setup.

Space is very limited, so groups traveling together should plan ahead and consolidate into as few vehicles as possible.

PLEASE CARPOOL — PARKING IS VERY LIMITED

We strongly encourage everyone attending the festival to CARPOOL.

Riverbend Park is a beautiful place to hold a festival, but on-site and nearby parking is extremely limited. The fewer vehicles we bring into the park, the better the festival experience will be for everyone.

If you're camping with friends, please coordinate before arriving and travel together whenever possible. One vehicle carrying four festivalgoers is far better than four vehicles carrying one person each.

We will have a door prize drawing for all campers who carpool and/or park their vehicle in our designated parking area rather than in campgrounds. This frees up so much more room for friends and family to enjoy the campgrounds. Campers can unload their gear in designated areas before moving their cars to festival parking.

Please pack smart, travel together, and carpool whenever possible.

Less traffic. Fewer cars. More room for camping, music, friends, and three unforgettable days along the Colorado River.
