“Best overall music festival I’ve been to in a long time. Perfect atmosphere and venue.”
“This was such an amazing event ... one of the best times of my life. I’m in from here on out!”
Here are all the great ways you can stay right on the festival grounds. Or explore hotels, cabins and other options in the surrounding area.
Reserve a spacious on-site camping spot to experience the festival in its full glory, including after-hours jams with festival artists. Each site fits up to 6 people so the more the merrier.
New to camping? No tent? NO PROBLEM! Buy a Springbar Bundle and your campsite comes with a Compact or Vagabond Tent. Springbar staff will even help you set it up.
If you prefer overlooking the campground to staying on it, rent one of the limited on-site luxury villas or suites just a short walk from the main festival area.
Our budget-friendly bundle includes one 3-day GA pass and a 20' x 20' tent campsite in Camp Sidewinder—all for under $400.

Packages include two festival passes, a 30' × 30' camping spot with the Fondo crew and both days of riding for one person. Gravel or mountain bike required.
adventures
Fort Desolation sits right outside Capitol Reef National Park, so there's a lot to do here!
Hike, mountain bike, overland, rock climb or fly-fish in the red rocks of southern Utah—Capitol Reef is right outside the festival.
Explore adventures
Cool off in the pool, recharge in the hot tub, sauna or steam room—even challenge a friend to pickleball—just outside the campground.
