If you are looking to camp at Gobbler Ridge (Bluegrass) then you need to go here www.diymusicfoundation.org This is the wrong place to sign up for Gobbler Ridge.
Greenleaf Old Time Music Association works together with Greenleaf DIY LLC to obtain a contract for all of the campgrounds for both the old time music in Deer Run, Playside, Cypress Row and Eagle’s Nest as well as the Bluegrass music on Gobbler Ridge. We pay one price for all of these amenities, which also allows us to set guidelines in the individual campgrounds. For example, quiet time enforced by the park is waived. General park rules such as animals on leashes, no golf carts on road and drug/alcohol usage are still enforced by the park.
Campsites are assigned by the festival. You will work directly with Glen Schmidt to get your perfect spot without a pre-festival line.
Site holders from 2025 will be given priority to regain their same site in 2026. (some exceptions apply).
Sorry…cabins are perpetually booked and never available. See Cabins and Local Lodging
-Cell Service is rather unpredictable in the festival campground area. If you go up to the park office you get good cell service and also the park office has wifi that works in the parking lot. There is also a cell repeater set up near the main tent.
-Generators are not allowed. All of the RV sites have 20A, 30A and some have 20/30/50A plugs.
-No “quiet time” is enforced in the festival camp areas.
-For a quieter experience in an RV, farther from the main festival site, the Cypress Row or Eagle’s Nest campground is suggested.
-Dogs are welcome with the usual rules; keep them on a leash and please clean up after them.
Note that if you prefer more isolated tent camping away from the festival site, there are many sites. In this case, book through the travelok.com site We suggest the “trailhead” tent ground to the south and west of Deer Run (across the road from the Deer Run bath house).
Take a look at the map below and have a location in mind.
Returning festival goers have been given the option to claim the previous year’s site.
As folks commit, this map is updated.
