NEW FOR 2026: Want to extend the party? Purchase a weekend camping pass to camp on-site from Friday to Sunday! Check-in Friday from 2pm-6pm and depart by 12pm on Sunday. Choose between staying in the modern tent camping area, renting a cabin, or camping in Halfling Village with a period-appropriate cotton canvas tent. Halfling Village will be a visually immersive area so if you plan to camp there, Halfling attire will be required to be worn at all times and camping equipment and tents will need to be submitted for visual approval to [email protected]. A summer camp style shower house with hot showers and flushing toilets will be available to all campers on-site.
