General Camping passes are available as per-person. They can be purchased for Thursday-Sunday for General Camping areas. Good for tent camping or for use with self-contained RVs at non-electrical hook-up sites. Those wishing to stay over Sunday night and depart on Monday will need to also purchase the Monday Departure (Per Person Add-on) during registration.

General Camping spots are on a first come, first serve basis, and include the festival fees. Arrive early for the best camping locations. Water and picnic tables are available at many spots and there is always a fire pit nearby.

This per person rate allows you to book now and plan vehicles and drivers later.  As long as everyone in your car has a camping pass, there are no additional charges! Ages 15 and under = free.

General Camping passes are listed on the registration site as: General Camping | Arrival Day – Departure Day (per person)

Electrical Hook-up sites (Thursday – Sunday)  •  LIMITED AVAILABLITY

Do you have an RV/Trailer and need an electrical hookup site? This weekend package covers the electrical hookup upgrade + nightly camping rate.

You can specify your campground area choice during registration. These passes are not valid for Lynch sites, which are restricted to Sponsors, Exhibitors, Staff and Lakeside RV packages only.

Upon arrival, you will be able to set up camp at one of the limited electrical hookup sites in your registered campground. These spaces are very limited.

Electrical RV Hook-up passes include Thursday-Sunday camping for all the people that arrive in the FIRST vehicle. Any additional guests arriving in a separate vehicle will need to purchase individual General Camping passes.

Our Wildflower Staff will be working closely with all registered Triathlon Teams & Clubs, with over 45 adult members attending the event for the weekend, to find sufficient group camping areas to accommodate the group. Teams & Clubs must register their members by February to qualify for this benefit.

Group areas do not include full hook-up sites, so these groups will need to bring self-contained RV / Trailer units.

Members can register for General Camping passes but must indicate their Club/Team/Group affiliation during the camping registration process.
