Campsites with electrical hookup access are limited and available in the following campgrounds: Lake Sallie, Northwoods, Accessible, Blue Ox, and VIP. These sites sell out quickly! Don't delay if you want one.

Question 7

Can I save a camping spot for my friends?

Sara Collins · Accepted Answer

Unless you are in Camp K102, KAT Country or BOB Basecamp (where you can pick your campsite in advance), campsites are first come, first served when you arrive. If you want to camp next to a friend, let the campground manager know. They will do their best to accommodate you but often it is not possible. The best way to camp in a group is for you and your friends to arrive at the same time.

SERVICE ANIMALS – Definition, Policies, and Procedures

WE Fest welcomes and supports the rights and attendance of all persons with disabilities that rely on the special skills of a trained service animal. What we DO NOT tolerate misrepresenting pets service animals. Service Animal Definition: A ‘service animal’ means “any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability. The work or tasks performed by a service animal must be directly related to the handler’s disability. Emotional support or comfort animals are not considered service animals under the ADA and therefore are not allowed at WE Fest. Service Animal Policies: For our guests with disabilities who bring their service animal to WE Fest, we ask that you review and follow the policies outlined below:

Service animals must be accompanied by the handler with the disability at all times.
Service animals must be under the control and supervision of their handler at all times.
Service animals are not permitted to be left in camp unattended under any circumstances.
Handlers are required to be prepared for, and clean-up after, their animals at all times.
We reserve the right to remove and/or refuse access to any service animal from the campgrounds or venues if that animal is deemed to be a health or safety threat to festival patrons, staff, or other service animals, or in violation of these policies.
All service animals must be credentialed by the WE Fest staff (see the procedures below).

Service Animal Procedures: All guests with disabilities attending WE Fest with a service animal will need to have that animal credentialed by WE Fest staff before entering the main gate. This process will be performed quickly and respectfully by our Accessibility Staff. At the entrance gate let staff know you need your service animal credentialed. The accessibility team will be called over to verify your service animal, record your contact information, and provide a collar tag for your service animal. Security/Staff will check for all animals to have a properly credentialed WE Fest collar tag every time they enter the venue. Remember, Service Animals are allowed, all other dogs are NOT!

Question 9

What happens if someone else is dropping off / setting up our campsite?

Sara Collins · Accepted Answer

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 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.
