CAMPING INFO:

Reservations

No reservations are required for tent camp sites in the open field, but to ensure a space, we recommend arriving as early as possible on Friday to get an awesome location.

​

Rules & Info

• Camping at Vermilionville will take place on the baseball fields, which means more space and generally better ground conditions than past years.
• Cars will not be allowed in the camping area – you will need to park along the perimeter of the fields to unload your gear.
• Access to the camping area will be available starting at 3pm on FRIDAY. Final cleanup of your campsite should be complete by noon on SUNDAY, after the festival.
• You may eat and drink within your campsite, but please respect the BlackPot Festival and Vermilionville and do not bring food, beer or ice chests into the Village.
• No Dogs at the festival

•Absolutely no camping at Vermilionville Thursday night. Come up to Lakeview Park for the kick-off party instead.
