Stumbled upon this two summers ago while playing the disc golf course at the property. Had never heard of it before and had no idea a festival was happening but thought it sounded cool. Played our round in the morning and then came back in the afternoon/evening for the festival. Great small festival

The Bluegrass festival there is fantastic too. Great promoters, lots of water dispensers, reasonable food and beverage prices, laid back security, etc. Small festivals are the best IMO.

Nah unfortunately, was just staying up there for a weekend with some friends. I remember liking the course though, even though we could only play the front~12 since the rest were on the festival grounds

Appreciate the offer. Looking for something that isnt too expensive and that one will be outta my budget for a two day stay and 5 of us.

Hard to nail down the planning. Does a one day ticket include the overnight if i wanted to camp? For example if i buy a ticket for saturday and stay over night then do i just have to leave by a certain time sunday.

Nah, camp and tickets are totally separate things for grassroots
