RHYTHMS ON THE RIO 2025 TICKET INFORMATION:

CAMPGROUND MAP

Children 12 and under are FREE – but still REQUIRE A TICKET!

Youths 13 – 17 require a YOUTH TICKET.

If you are towing ANYTHING you need at least a Tier 1 Camping ticket, but if it is under 20′ you can still camp in General (Cottonwood) Camping.

NOTE: 3-Day Festival Passes DO NOT INCLUDE CAMPING

At Rhythms on the Rio, we have always been proud to offer camping included in all festival passes.  That is a tradition we have stuck with for 17 years.  But recent changes to the Colorado State and County requirements for lodging tax (yes, your tent for the weekend is considered lodging!) have forced us to adapt our ticketing policies in 2025.

  • Changes to lodging tax regulations are forcing us to re-organize the way we offer camping passes.
  • Camping passes will be sold separately and are required for all individuals (13+) camping at the festival.
  • Youth (13 -17) camping passes will be offered at a reduced rate (12 and under are FREE).
  • Not camping at the festival? No camping pass needed!

We are offering a first-time Group Camp option and a designated Family Camp.

FAMILY CAMPING PASSES:

  • Add this to your order to camp in the Family Camping Area.
  • Quiet hours daily will be from stop of music on the mainstage to 7am the next morning.
  • There is no charge for family camping, but a festival ticket AND camping ticket is required for all adults (18+).
  • Car/tent camping only.
  • Limited amount available!
  • An individual camping pass is still required for every member of the family.
