Camping FAQs
About Camping:
If someone other than the ticket holder is setting up a campsite, we will require that the 3rd party bring the ticket holder’s campsite ticket to check-in where it will be scanned and exchanged for a stickered credential that will be applied to the (1) sleeping unit that is being dropped off, and another sticker for the (1) steering unit that will need to be retrieved from the 3rd party by the ticket holder. We will not hold credentials at camp check-in. The 3rd party tow vehicles will be marked and have 30 minutes to set up and exit the campground. Any vehicles or sleeping units without proper credentials will be towed.
If you purchased VIP Early Arrival along with your VIP campsite, you can arrive to start setting up on Saturday, July 31st, Sunday, August 1st, or Tuesday, August 3rd (note: campgrounds are closed on Monday). No overnight camping will be allowed until Tuesday, August 3rd.
If you purchased GA Early Arrival, you can gain access to the campgrounds starting on Tuesday, August 3rd.
Vehicles staged on the road after 12:00 PM on Monday, August 2nd, must be staged on the shoulder of the road and do so at their own risk. Guests must stay within their vehicles and are not permitted to set up camps, chairs, grills, etc. outside of their vehicles. The MN State Patrol and WE Fest Security will be patrolling these areas.
Your Campsite Pass is a vehicle pass that allows for one (1) driving unit (Car/Truck) and one (1) sleeping unit (trailer) PER CAMPSITE. Motor Homes are considered both a driving and sleeping unit. Any additional vehicles must purchase a separate campsite.
The only way to guarantee a camping spot next to friends is to arrive and enter your campground together. We do not allow people to rope off camping spaces or save spots. All campgrounds are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. You can purchase an Early Entry campground pass to enter the campgrounds early and claim your camping spot.
