Camping Passes

In order to have your own campsite within the festival grounds, you have to have a camping pass. Whether you’re GA, VIP or in an RV, there’s a pass that you need to secure your spot on the farm. Below is a break down of those options, including cost and difference between certain options. VIP & GA have their own designated accommodations- Make sure you have the proper one for your ticket!

Car Camping

Car camping is one of the most popular options when it comes to Bonnaroo! You can purchase GA, VIP or Platinum car camping passes. This holds a space for you and your car to sleep. These tickets are required one PER CAR. So, save some $$ and split the car pass with your group! These particular passes are required ONLY if you do not plan on purchasing a specialty camping pass such as Le Bon, Glamping, Groop or Community camping.

Tip: You MUST stay in line with the cars you want to camp with THE ENTIRE TIME as you WILL NOT be able to save spaces for ‘late arrivers’

Each GA spot will be 20×20. This is enough space for your car, two tents, and a canopy. Depending on if you’re camping with friends, you can even extend your spaces together for a bigger spot!

PRICE: $59.75 (pass) + $4.40 (fees) = $64.15

VIP & Platinum

These are both groovy options. Each offers it’s own perks though! Both options allow you to camp with your friends, or get to know new friends!

Groop Camping

This allows you to camp with all your friends, in one large designated area. Depending on the number of people that register with your groop, it will determine how big of a spot you get.

This person will also pay a $100.00 fee that is refunded after your groop hits the 24 person minimum. May 1st is the deadline to register and pay for groop camping.

PRICE: $100.00 (Groop Leader fee) ; $50.00 (ticket)

This is a great option if you’re going to Bonnaroo alone, or if you and friends are looking to meet new people! Each Community groop has a different theme ranging from SobeRoo, SheRoo and the all-time famous Fan SuperJam Camp.

PERKS: Meet new people! And you can still all show up at different times! This is also located near Groop camping, which is ideally located near the Grove.
