Gates open to campers at noon on Friday June 21st, and all campsites must be packed up by noon on Sunday.

Weekend camping passes will go on sale with festival tickets on March 15th 2024. Camping is available for weekend festival passholders only. Camping tickets are per-person, not per-spot – everyone over the age of 12 who camps needs a camping pass, even if you are sharing a tent.

We have fewer camping passes available than festival tickets, so we strongly suggest that you purchase them at the same time if you plan to camp! Our capacity is based on our limited water, waste, security, and volunteer resources, not solely on physical space, and is non-negotiable. If you don't plan to camp, or camping passes are already sold out, ensure you have your accommodation needs met before buying a ticket. There are other places to stay on the island, some are listed below.

A camping pass is required for every person sleeping onsite.

Gates open at noon on Friday, no camping permitted on Thursday night or Sunday night. We have limited water onsite, so if you bring a vehicle, please bring your own drinking water as well. There is a summer fire ban on the island, fires are not allowed anywhere on Mayne. Contained camp stoves are welcome.

All tents must be down by 12 noon on Sunday. Our amazing teardown volunteers need the space clear so they can return the farm to working order.

All property surrounding our farm is private, no trespassing on our neighbours!  Our security team will be checking the surrounding area, and will call in the RCMP to enforce this if necessary.

Bring a tent, your sleeping bag, mattress and pillow – don’t forget snacks, sunscreen, and a sweater & socks for the cool evening, maybe raingear and a tarp. Bring your happy voice, dancing feet and a swim suit. You will leave with great memories, tunes in your head and, we hope, all your own garbage. We have very limited waste disposal resources on the island, and appreciate your efforts to keep the property clean.

The Campbell Bay Music Festival is committed to being as close to a zero-waste event as possible. To that end, we need your help! We're asking all festivalgoers to do their part by 'pitching in to the right bin'. We'll have our recycle bins clearly marked and easy to find to make it easier than ever for you to do your part. Thanks in advance. The Mayne Island Recycling Society is a registered charity that diverts nearly everything from landfills through tons of meticulous, hands-on volunteer work, and you can donate to their efforts here: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charitiesmayne-island-recycling-society/
