CAMPING AND LODGING FAQ'S

Can I camp at the CMF grounds?

 Yes!  We have approximately 300 tent and dry RV camping sites available immediately adjacent to the festival grounds.  The cost is $25 per site for the entire weekend, whether you stay one, two, or all three nights.  You can pay for camping in advance at http://crestfest.org/accommodations.php or by calling 1-719-256-4533, or at the gate when you arrive.  Camping is first come, first served, and there will be campground hosts available to direct you where to park and set up.

Are there toilets and showers available?

 Portable toilets, free solar showers and drinking water will be available at the campground.  Indoor showers will be available for $5 at nearby Camper Village.  Inquire at the Information Tent.

How early can I arrive on Friday?

 Please do not plan to arrive any earlier than 2:00 p.m. as festival staff will not be available to assist you any earlier.

How many people or tents can occupy one tent site?

 One tent site is intended for one tent and up to six people.  If you have more than one tent, or more than six people in your party, it will be necessary to purchase an additional tent site for $25.00.

Can I cook my meals at my campsite?

 You can cook with a camp stove at your campsite, but no camp fires or cooking fires are allowed.  There will be plenty of food and drink vendors on the festival grounds with a variety of foods, including vegetarian options.  ScSEED (Saguache County Sustainable Environment and Economic Development) will host a fundraising pancake breakfast on Sunday morning.

Can I bring my dog?  He’s very well behaved.

 We’re sorry…We love animals, but due to insurance liability, and in consideration of other festival attendees, we cannot allow dogs or any pets on the festival grounds, in the camping area or parking lots.  Official service dogs are permitted, and owners may be asked for a physician’s verification of assistance need and must have the animal properly restrained.  Please do not bring your pet and leave it in your vehicle.  The festival grounds, camping area and parking lots will be monitored by festival staff, and owners of pets on the grounds will be asked to leave the festival.  The CMF office does have referral information on limited pet boarding in the area, so please contact us if you cannot leave your pet at home. 

What other lodging options are there?

 Please see the accommodations page of our website at http://crestfest.org/accommodations.php for other camping, RV, B&B or hotel lodging options.  We recommend that you book your lodging early, as facilities close to the festival grounds are limited and fill up quickly.
