FAQ
Does my weekend pass include camping?
Yes. Camping is included with your weekend pass. If your RV or camper is 22 feet or longer, you will need to purchase an add-on RV/camper pass.
Do I need to reserve a site if I wish to camp at Smiling Acres?
Nope! Open Camping is available in marked sections of our grounds. Sites are first come, first serve.
Are big RVs allowed to set up in the Camping Sites?
You’re welcome to set up anything that will fit within the parameters of your designated space. Typical sites are 25′ x 35′ but larger spaces are allowed as long as the fire lanes remain open. We do not limit the amount of tents or people allowed within one site, but please be courteous and allow room for your neighbors. If your RV or camper is 22 feet or longer, you will need to purchase an add-on RV/camper pass.
Will holding tank pumping services be available?
Pants Portables will be onsite throughout the weekend to service our toilets. They are also available to pump holding tanks for $35.00. Please contact us or speak to them onsite if you require this service.
Can I bring in a cooler with outside food and beverages?
Yes. We do not allow glass bottles. Also, while we allow outside food and beverage into the festival, we encourage you to patronize our fantastic vendors!
Can I have a campfire at my site?
Ground fires are not allowed. All heat producing devices such as grills, camp stoves and Coleman lanterns must be carefully monitored and may not be left unattended. Please be conscientious of wind direction and positioning to avoid smoking out your neighbors. If Smiling Acres staff determine there is a problem you will be asked to correct it.
Can I run my generator?
Campsites are primitive (no electrical connection available). Generators are allowed so long as they are quiet (65db or less) and the exhaust does not interfere with another campsite, but all generators must be turned off after 10:00 PM. If you require a generator for medical reasons, such as a CPAP, please contact us and we will work with you to make the necessary arrangements.
Are my tickets coming in the mail?
Thanks to our online ticketing system, your ticket purchases will be emailed directly to you. If you can’t find the email with your ticket pdf attached, contact us!
