FESTIVAL CAMPGROUNDS
The Pemberton Festival Campgrounds are THE place to stay! Located directly adjacent to the Festival Site and all its amenities, the Campground will have 24 hour security, toilets, cooling stations, wash facilities, general store, and a campground clubhouse including a bar that will serve alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages as well as food service from 7:00 AM - 3:00 AM daily.
Access to the Festival Campgrounds is restricted to those with a valid Camping Ticket and 3-Day Event Ticket.
Campers can come and go between the Campgrounds and the Festival Site at their leisure during the Festival Site hours (11:00 AM - 2:00 AM).
Bring a tent for your own 10 x 10 space or combine spaces with friends and pitch a larger tent to share. Either way, you'll wake up to picturesque Mount Currie at your feet every morning in the heart of the Pemberton Valley and all its scenic wonder.
Remember, spaces are assigned on a first come, first served basis so if you want to camp with friends, you must arrive together!
