Camping
To fully experience WE Fest, you gotta camp.
WE Fest is legendary for having the best campgrounds (and parties). Soo Pass Ranch has 400 acres with a variety of campgrounds to match the needs of all campers. All campgrounds have FREE onsite showers and bathroom, and access to water. Each person in the campground must have a Camp Access wristband in addition to their WE Fest admission ticket.
There are two options for your campsite setup:
STANDARD CAMPSITES
VIP, Lake Sallie, Northwoods, Oatfield, Blue Ox, Viking
These sites do not include access to electric hook-up. Campsites are 25’ ×40’. Everything you bring needs to fit within that space. Tents, trailers and campers are allowed. Each camper also needs to purchase a Camp Access wristband.
Campsites can range from a 5-30 minute walk depending on location.
Unassigned 1000 Sq Ft campsite. Vehicle must fit completely inside the campsite, no exceptions. (Rigs over 40’ must purchase two standard campsites).
The 25′ x 40′ space can include one (1) steering mechanism (vehicle or RV) and one (1) sleeping unit (camper) per campsite (RV is considered both the steering mechanism and sleeping unit). Only one RV per site is allowed. If tent camping, more than one tent is OK as long as everything fits within the 25′ x 40′ space.
No hook-ups available, may bring a generator (quiet hours enforced).
Available for purchase by any 3-day concert ticket holder.
A campsite purchase does not include Camp Access passes for individuals. Camp Access passes (along with a 3-Day concert ticket) are required and are sold separately.
VERY IMPORTANT: If your RV or vehicle is more than 40’ long you need to purchase TWO campsites. If you arrive with a RV or vehicle larger than 40′ and didn’t purchase two campsites, we will try to accommodate you. You will need to purchase an additional site, if available. You may need to be placed in a different campground if an additional space is not available in the campground you purchased.
