One field is designated for campers who will be running generators, and one field is reserved for those with no generators. You can park your vehicle at your campsite for the duration of the festival, and also come and go freely if necessary.

For the comfort of all campers, festival staff and our neighbors in the surrounding community, quiet hours must be strictly observed between midnight and 7am.

We are describing the experience as “field camping.” You can select a spot along the wild edges of one of the hay fields here on the farm. (Please avoid parking in the center of the field if possible.) The only amenities available to campers will be clean portalets, lined trash cans and drinking water stations near the barn and performance tent with clean potable water that can be used for filling containers. No electric service, shower facilities or plumbing hookups will be available.

Food trucks on the festival site are typically serving food by 11am on Saturday and Sunday, and serve well into the evenings.

Some of the camping sites will have at least some partial shade at various times of day, but be prepared for full sun.

Depending on wind and weather, each field will have a shared fire pit. No additional personal fires are permitted.

No pets. We love animals, but are unable to allow pets on site due to festival insurance constraints. Registered ADA service dogs are permitted, but must be pre-registered with the festival by emailing overtherhineofficial@gmail.com .

Check out: Camping sites must be vacated, and all trash placed in receptacles no later than 11am on Monday, September 1.

Cincinnati is a wonderful old river town with many attractions – the Cincinnati Art Museum, beautiful parks, the neighborhood of Over-the-Rhine, Findlay Market, the Cincinnati Reds and many excellent restaurants. Mt. Adams is a fun neighborhood with great river views, and there are sprawling parks along the riverfront with walking and bike trails.
