CAMPING
We are pleased to offer tent camping on the beautiful Quilcene Lantern property. Camping passes are offered per-person and must be purchased in conjunction with a festival ticket.
Dispersed tent camping will be located in the fields and tree groves on the property and will be first come first serve with a pre-purchased reservation. Potable water, porta potties, and hand washing stations will be available within a maximum 100-yard walking distance from tent sites. Most campsites are not accessible by car, but off-roading wagons will be available to transport camping gear from the parking lot to the campground. Please let us know if you have accessibility issues and we can make accommodations for campsite access. Please note that we are requiring a maximum 2-foot distance between tents in order to accommodate all of the campers. Please expect to have your neighbors within that proximity. Quiet hours in the campground are between midnight and 8 AM and will be enforced. Be respectful of your neighbors and please keep noise to a minimum after-hours. If you’d like to socialize after-hours, please walk to any number of great spaces that are away from campsites.
RV/CAMPER VANS
We offer a select number of RV/Camper Van slips without hookups (no water, electricity, or sewer). We allow vehicles up to a maximum of 30 ft in length.
