Camping

Make Soo Pass Ranch your home for WE Fest. Camping keeps you close to the music, gives you more time to enjoy the weekend, and puts you among neighbors who just might become your new festival friends. With a variety of campgrounds across 400 acres, you can find the spot that fits your crew and be part of a community that makes WE Fest feel like WE Fest.

All campgrounds include free on-site showers, bathrooms, and water access.

Each camper needs a Campground Access wristband in addition to a WE Fest admission wristband.

There are two options for your campsite setup:

STANDARD CAMPSITES

Standard Campsites are available in VIP, Lake Sallie, Northwoods, Oatfield, Blue Ox, and Viking campgrounds.

Choosing and setting up your campsite

Campground staff assign campsites when you arrive. Sites vary in shape and size because of the natural terrain, though most are approximately 1,000 square feet. Your full camping setup must fit within your assigned site.

  • Each campsite allows one steering mechanism and one sleeping unit. An RV counts as both.
  • RVs, campers, or vehicles longer than 40 feet require two Standard Campsites. Please purchase both sites in advance. If you arrive with only one, you’ll need to buy a second site if one is available. We may place you in a different campground to accommodate your setup.
  • Northwoods has a strict 30-foot maximum for RVs and campers. If your rig is longer, staff will assign you to another campground, subject to availability.
  • Generators are allowed, but quiet hours apply to generator use, including generators used for CPAP machines, unless you provide a doctor’s note. Email the note to info@wefest.com so your campground manager gets it.
  • The walk to the concert bowl varies by campsite and takes approximately 5–30 minutes.

Wristbands and other requirements

  • A campsite purchase does not include Campground Access wristbands. Every camper needs a Campground Access wristband and a festival admission wristband, both sold separately.
  • Accessible Camping requires a government-issued parking placard or disability license plate.
    WE Fest is primarily an 18+ festival. Guests under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
  • Our campground team assigns sites and helps everyone settle in safely. Please follow their directions and treat staff and fellow campers with respect. Inappropriate behavior or refusal to follow staff directions may result in removal from the grounds without a refund.

CAMPSITES WITH ELECTRIC HOOK-UP ACCESS

Electrical Access Campsites are available in VIP, Lake Sallie, Northwoods, and Blue Ox campgrounds. Due to high demand, additional Electrical Access campsites will be available in 2027

Electrical Access and Campsite Setup

  • Each site includes one electrical outlet: 30 amp or 50 amp, depending on the site you purchase. Prices vary by outlet type. Bring your own extension cord.
  • Campsites are assigned by campground staff when you arrive. Sites vary in shape and size because of the natural terrain, though most are approximately 1,000 square feet. Your full camping setup must fit within your assigned site.

  • RVs, campers, or vehicles longer than 40 feet require two campsites. Please purchase both in advance. If you arrive with only one, you’ll need to buy a second site if one is available. We may place you in a different campground to accommodate your setup.
  • Northwoods has a strict 30-foot maximum for RVs and campers. If your rig is longer, staff will assign you to another campground based on availability.
  • Sites are assigned upon arrival. If you’d like to camp near friends, plan to arrive together.
  • The walk to the concert bowl varies by campsite and takes approximately 5–30 minutes. Golf cart taxis are available for hire. 

Wristbands and Other Requirements

GET YOUR BEARINGS

Notice that on Thursday, Cty Hwy 22 becomes one-way, with southbound traffic only. Blue Ox campers arriving Thursday or later should approach from the north.

VIP CAMPGROUND

The VIP CAMPGROUNDS are located right behind the stage and always fill up fast. You do NOT need a VIP concert ticket to buy a VIP campsite. Each person in the campground must have a Campground Access pass in addition to their WE Fest admission ticket. Easy walk to the concert bowl. VIP showers and bathrooms. 

LAKE SALLIE CAMPGROUND

LAKE SALLIE CAMPGROUND is an all-ages campground and is one of our most popular campgrounds. Enjoy amazing lake views with easy access to the music venue. Campers can buy hot grab-and-go food from the popular Wrap Shack near the showers. The NEW South Sallie area has additional sites with electrical access. Other sites are Standard (primitive) and have no electrical access.

NORTHWOODS CAMPGROUND

NORTHWOODS CAMPGROUND is a multi-generation campground with a neighborly vibe. Northwoods is full of hills and woods, so it’s best suited for units 28 feet or shorter. Be sure to bring leveling blocks. Only a limited number of campsites have electric hookups. All other sites are Standard (primitive) and have no electrical access.

OATFIELD CAMPGROUND

OATFIELD CAMPGROUND is located on the northeast side of the ranch and is reached through an underpass on County Road 22. It is suitable for any camping unit and has a mixture of younger and older campers.

BLUE OX CAMPGROUND

BLUE OX CAMPGROUND is one of our more popular campgrounds and always sells out fast. It has a good mix of younger and older campers, with plenty of parties throughout the day.  We have a limited number of campsites with electric hookups. All other sites are primitive and have no electrical access.

VIKING CAMPGROUND

The Viking ship is sailing north for WE Fest 2027! VIKING CAMPGROUND is moving to an area near Oatfield, putting campers closer to the action. Viking and Oatfield will be separate campgrounds, but they’ll be neighbors—each with its own space and personality. Get ready to settle in, meet your neighbors, and make Viking your home base for the weekend!

ACCESSIBLE CAMPSITES

These campsites offer very easy access to the concert bowl. Lake Sallie and Northwoods both offer Accessible campsites.
