Little Grassy Lodge - $200

For those looking to elevate their festival stay, Little Grassy Lodge offers a cozy retreat with climate control (A/C & heat), Wi-Fi, satellite TV, and a private in-room bathroom. With a newly updated layout, these rooms now sleep up to 4 people! Please note linens are not provided.

Each room includes access to the community kitchenette with a coffee maker, commerical refrigerator, ice machine and microwave. Whether you’re unwinding after a long day of music or just want a little extra comfort, this is the perfect option to relax and recharge!

Morris Lodge - $160

For a more private and convenient stay, our bunkhouse-style Morris Lodge have been newly renovated to sleep 6-8 people per room and now feature in-room heating and cooling for ultimate comfort.

Each individual room has locking doors and is climate-controlled with A/C and heat, making it a great option for those who prefer a smaller space compared to the cabins. Guests have access to indoor restrooms and showers without needing to leave the building, plus a common area perfect for connecting with fellow festival-goers. Bring your own warm bedding and settle in for a comfortable, community-driven weekend!

Jam Camp Cabins - $250

Perfect for large families or groups of friends, Jam Camp Cabins offer a fun, social, and hassle-free way to experience the festival together. Each cabin features 10 twin beds in an open floor plan, making it easy to connect, relax, and recharge between festivities. With access to nearby shower houses and restrooms, you’ll have the convenience you need for a comfortable stay. Just bring your own warm bedding, and get ready for an unforgettable weekend of music, memories, and good company!

RV Camping - $100

Bring your Class B camper (21 feet max) and enjoy the festival from the comfort of your own motorhome! RV camping is dry dock only – there are no hookups available, so be prepared to camp off-grid. Spaces are limited and located in a designated RV parking area. If you're looking for a cozy, self-contained stay while staying close to the action, this is the perfect option. Secure your spot and settle in for an unforgettable weekend!

Jam Camp Camping - $60

Jam Camp now offers a combined tent and car camping option, with spots available on a first-come, first-served basis. Each camping permit includes one parking space and room for one 4-person tent in the designated tent camping areas. Additional tents require separate permits.

Only one parking space per permit is allowed. If you want a spot with both parking and grassy space, arrive early to secure your preferred setup. Shower and bathhouse access are included.

NEW! Rocky Ledges Tent Pads - $100

Looking for a little more woods with your weekend? Rocky Ledges is your spot. These tent pads are tucked above the Little Grassy basin, offering a quieter, more tucked-away camping experience for those who don’t mind a bit of a hike.

It’s about a half-mile trek from the main festival grounds—but the payoff is worth it: trees, views, and a peaceful place to recharge. Campers have access to a nearby pit toilet and Raccoon Circle, a shared fire pit with built-in benches perfect for late-night hangs.

A little hike, a lot of magic.

More Than Music: Explore the Get Down

The Little Grassy Get Down is more than just a music festival—it’s a full weekend of experiences for all ages. From outdoor adventures and wellness activities to local vendors and hands-on fun, there’s something around every corner.

Even better? Most activities are included with your festival pass at no extra cost (with the exception of tattoos from Neon Tiger). Come ready to explore, play, and make a full weekend of it.
