Important 2026 OSMF Attendee information

As we get ready for Old Settler’s Music Festival at Camp Ben McCulloch (April 17–19), we want to share a few important updates so everyone arrives prepared and has a smooth, enjoyable festival experience.

GA Parking, RV Passes, and Car Camping Passes are SOLD OUT. That’s it folks! Due to demand and the necessity to make the event as enjoyable and safe for all attendees, all RV, Car Camping and General Parking passes are now sold out. If you do not already have a parking pass you will need to arrange a ride, carpool with someone who has parking, plan to be dropped off, or use rideshare services.

Entry tickets are SOLD OUT. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. If you do not have a ticket, do not come. You will be turned away.

Camp Ben will feel a little different this year. In past years the festival used both sides of the highway, including the Salt Lick side. For 2026 we will be using ONLY the Camp Ben side of the road, which means the overall space available to us is more limited than in previous years. Please plan accordingly and help us make the most of the beautiful land we have available.

Camp Ben Closure – Monday, April 13. Due to safety and set up logistics Camp Ben is closed to the Public on Monday, April 13. Any vehicles left on the property following the Crawfish fest that ends on Sunday will be tagged and towed at the owner’s expense.

No Early Arrivals before Tuesday 3pm. No Old Settler’s attendees can arrive or park at camp Ben before Early camping Begins Tuesday at 3pm.

Early Camping Begins Tuesday. Early camping arrivals begin Tuesday, April 14 during box office hours (3pm-8pm) for those who have purchased an Early Entry upgrade

RV Water & Dumping. Only approved RV water fills and dump services are allowed and must take place through Campground HQ. Please arrive with your tanks prepared whenever possible.

Alcohol Policy in Stage Areas. Outside alcohol is permitted at your campsite. Outside alcohol is not permitted in the concert bowl areas. Our Watering Hole will be serving a selection of high-quality craft beer and wine during festival hours and as always, no glass is permitted on the festival grounds.

Old Settler’s has always been about community, music, and taking care of the land we gather on. Please help us by planning ahead, respecting the venue, and looking out for your fellow festivalgoers.

We can’t wait to welcome you back to Camp Ben for another unforgettable weekend!
