Howdy!

This Will be my 5th TBF however, it will be my first experience camping at Lawson Hill. Can some folk with experience camping there answer some questions?

I know there are no fires but how is the late night scene/ noise level?
I hear the Bike path is great, how is it at night?

These are ones right off the top of my head please load your reply with any information you think might be useful.

Thanks and see you all in one week!

My friends I and do our camping at Lawson Hill, and we love it.

Late night noise level just depends on where your tent is. Some people are louder than others and quiet hours don’t start until 2 am so if you can’t sleep with some noise I’d bring some earplugs or join the fun. We always just choose to join the fun!

The bike path is about 4 miles to the festival I believe. If you are planning on riding bike at night you’ll need a good headlamp and a fair amount of experience since there will be some foot traffic along the way. We always just take the shuttle which picks up about every 15 minutes.

Some other things to note:

-The gas station at the top of the hill has ice, food, beer, sunblock, etc if you are running low.

  • Lines for the shuttle get pretty long at the end of the festival when heading back so if you choose that route you’ll either need to prepare for a wait or leave the festival a bit early.
  • If you bring your bikes just find a tent spot close to the fence so you can chain your bikes to it at night or when you are away from your tent. I highly doubt anyone would mess with your stuff, but it’s always good to be safe.
  • Unlike some of the other campgrounds Lawson Hill allows single day tickets so there may be more people coming and going throughout the weekend than the campgrounds that only allow a 4-day pass.
  • Last thing, there is little to no shade at Lawson Hill so bring a canopy if you don’t want to bake in the sun all day.

Hope you guys have fun! :cheers

Howdy,
Thanks for the reply, that was all the information I was looking for! I’m glad to hear there is some late night fun, wasn’t sure if it was more family oriented. I will be joining in as well since I will be solo camper. Looking forward to it!
