Unfortunately, the Busses on the Rio group has relocated and will not be joining us at ROTR in 2022.  Please feel free to proudly come to the festival with your VW Busses  – if you don’t have an RV pass, we will still be able to accommodate your vehicle if it is less than 20’ in length.

No.  We have always aimed to make ROTR as accessible as we can for EVERYONE.  That’s why we keep our tickets extremely affordable and include camping in the price.

If you plan on coming to the festival without camping, we hope you’ll see the value you are still getting in this ticket price for a 3-Day festival with top-tier talent.

Plus, ROTR is a non-profit for the South Fork Music association, with your ticket cost directly benefits school music programs throughout the San Luis Valley.

PLEASE BEWARE OF SCAMMERS!  There are many people on social media claiming to have resale tickets.  As far as we can determine, every single one has been a scam.

You will be able to either camp in a designated spot adjacent to your vehicle, or park your car and enjoy walk-in camping within the trees!

Car Camping: You will be able to camp with your car.  There will be designated car camping areas for vehicles under 20’ and tents. Because of the limitations of the terrain, we will need camping sites to be contained within a 20×20 space.

Walk-in Camping: There will be camping available in the wooded areas on the festival grounds.  You will be able to unload close to the walk-in area, and then park your car nearby where you will have access to it all weekend.  (Camping in the trees is a risk and that risk is accepted by the attendee. South Fork Music Association or property owner will not be held responsible for damages while camping in the trees.)

Parking for vehicles 20’ and under is included in the festival pass.  That includes passenger cars, trucks, SUVS, etc.; trailers 20′ or under, pop-up trailers 20′ or under, cabover campers and motorcycles.  (You will need to unhook your vehicle from the trailer, but will be able to keep both in your designated camping spot.)

An RV PASS ($30) will be required in addition to your festival pass.  The RV area is in a great location on the festival grounds.

YES! Del Norte, CO is surrounded by a wealth of trails for mountain biking and ultra-cycling, or just a leisurely spin through the beauty of the San Luis Valley.
