Terrapin Hill is a family-owned working organic farm. Full respect of the property and each other is expected at all times.
- On-site camping is free!!! When you arrive you will be directed to the large camp field at the west end of the venue, unless you request the Family Campgound or have a VIP ticket.
-You'll be camping by your vehicle, so for safety's sake, be sure to keep driving lanes clear.
- All camping is primitive with no electric or water hook-ups but RV's, buses and travel campers are welcome. Port-o-lets and hand-washing stations are provided.
- Hot showers and sinks with hot/cold running water are located in the showerhouse. Please clean up after yourselves... Spigots with drinkable water are also located in the vending area near the showerhouse and behind the general store next to the garden fence.
- There is a Family/Quiet camping area, if you would like to camp there, just tell the folks at the ticket gate, and they'll direct you.
- You may want to bring a tarp to cover your camp site for extra shade during the day.
- Days can be very warm and nights can be cool so bring appropriate clothing. Although we always put in an order for clear skies, rain is a possibility (especially short thunderstorms) so be prepared.
- Beware of Poison Ivy, especially in the woods. It's part of Nature and there's not much we can do about it, so you'll just have to be aware and be careful. Here's some tips: "go" in the porta-potties, not the woods, sit on blankets or chairs, wear shoes (these are good ideas to help avoid chigger bites too).
- Be sure to bring your drums and instruments! There will be a late-nite bonfires and drum circles.
- You may bring coolers to the festival. Mercer County is a dry county and the sale of alcohol is strictly prohibited. Please DO NOT bring glass; if you see broken glass, clean it up.
- No illegal substances, whatsoever. And keep in mind that our friendly local officials often set up road blocks. Be smart; arrive early and stay to the end; don't drink and drive.
- No swimming or fishing on the farm.
- The farm will still be in full vegetable production during the festival. Please be respectful and stay out of all garden areas.
- There is no entry from adjoining properties, this is trespassing and will be dealt with accordingly!
A note on dogs:
We would like to encourage you to leave your dogs at home. We love them too, but festivals are not always as much fun for the dogs as they are for us. If you must bring them, a fee per dog will be collected at the gate. And please remember that they must be leashed, with the leash attached to something, at all times. Dogs will not be allowed in the stage or vending areas. Also, don’t forget to give them shade, water and attention! Click here for local boarding kennel information.
A note on campfires:
Personal campfires are allowed, but remember that Terrapin Hill Farm is a working farm and the campground is a hayfield. Please clean up your fire before you leave (as well as the rest of your campsite). Unburnt logs can destroy farm equipment and trash can ruin the hay crop. Do not cut live trees—they don’t burn. A better idea is to share a fire with your neighbors. (Management retains the right to prohibit fires if drought conditions are in effect. Notice will be posted at the gate). Thank you for your co-operation!
In case you forget anything, the Terrapin Hill General Store is stocked with many of your camping needs, including ice, drinking water, food, tarps, rain gear, flashlights and other assorted sundries.
