2026 Camping

The Camping Experience

Camping is at the heart of the Old Settler’s magic — vibrant, welcoming, and inclusive. It’s the perfect place to unplug, reconnect with old friends, and make new ones. Bring your instruments and join the many late-night jams around the campfire.

Choosing Your Campsite

Four campgrounds — Armadillo, Banjo, Collings, and Dobro — will be open for the 2026 Old Settler’s Music Festival.

Our campgrounds offer acres of beautifully maintained, tree-covered spaces. Whatever your camping style — tents, RVs, teepees, yurts, buses, or even boats — you’re sure to find the perfect spot to make your festival home.

Campsites, locations, and electrical outlets are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Festival volunteers will be on hand to help point you in the right direction.

All campgrounds include:

•Port-a-potties

•Handwashing stations

•Potable water dispensers

RV water fill and dump services are available for purchase through Campground Headquarters.
