Jam in the Valley has approximately 1,200 on-site "primitive" camping spaces. Most of the campground areas are "open-spaced" with rolling fields and limited gravel road access. There are no electrical or water connections or dump stations available. Each site is roughly measured out to be 16ft x 45ft (720sq. feet) or roughly equal to 720sq feet.
Timbuktu and Back 40 camping sites will be enlarged to roughly 20ft x 50ft to alleiviate the extreme congestion and to make it safer for all Jam in the Valley patrons.
Only one vehicle per campsite is allowed to park at campsites. All other vehicles planning on staying overnight/for the weekend must park in the Campground Visitor's Parking Lot. A nominal fee will be charged. Vehicles parked overnight in the Concert Parking Lot will be towed at the vehicle owner's expense and the campsite owner will be charged an additional $50 to their credit card.
All persons camping in or utilizing Jam in the Valley campground
facilities do so at their own risk.
EVERYONE CAMPING AT JAM IN THE VALLEY MUST HAVE A VALID JiTV WRISTBAND APPLIED TO THEIR WRIST. NO EXCEPTIONS!
No liability is assumed by owners, managers, promoters, sponsors or others. Prior to your arrival, please read the following rules and regulations. They are for your protection and to ensure that your camping experience is enjoyable.
If you have any questions regarding any of the following operating times, procedures or rules, please call us toll free at (877) 744-5488 or locally at (585) 535-7447. You may also email any questions you may have by using the "Contact Us" link on the top bar or at the bottom of this page.
Large group camping is a convenience that Jam in the Valley provides. If you purchase 6 or more sites (with required amount of tickets) you will receive a nominal discount per campsite.
Large group camping ensures that your group will be able to camp on consecutive sites. Large group campers will be allowed to come in a few days earlier than the general camping public to start set up. We allow this so that we can ease the process of getting 1,200 campsites loaded as the concert draws near.
Whoever's name is on the purchase of large group camping will be the "captain" of your group. Jam in the Valley staff will contact you and work on your arrangements.
To ensure that you keep your large group sites from year to year, please join the Large Group License Program. You will be contacted via mail with information about licensing your large group after camping as a large group for one year.

To keep your reserved space, camping units which leave the site must make arrangements with Jam in the Valley campground management prior to leaving. Failure to do so could result in that camping space being lost to another camper.
Jam in the Valley reserves the right to reuse any space left unattended overnight without a permitted camper. Signs or staking of areas is not acceptable. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Campers losing their space forfeit all camping privileges without refund. Any person possessing counterfeit camping permits or return passes will be ejected without refund and may be subject to prosecution.
All tents will be required to have an official "Jam in the Valley" tag attached at all times to the outside zipper pull. Each tent found not having an official tag will be charged the full gate price for camping. No exceptions will be made.
Two small or medium size tents or one large tent will be permitted per campsite. For sites with two small/medium tents, one camping tag will be sufficient provided it is visible from the access road. Only one car per site.

Full shuttle service resumes immediately after the concert on Friday night and after the fireworks show on Saturday night, until it is no longer needed. All persons walking or riding the golf cart shuttles do so at their own risk.
Please arrive with plenty of drinking water. If you run out the general store will have it on hand for purchase.
For health and safety reasons, please contain all trash in plastic bags and place in dumpsters near your camping areas. Failure to remove garbage from your campsites could result in a $50 clean up fee charged to the credit card used to reserve the campsite. Thank you.

Outdoor cooking may only be done with a barbecue unit or an enclosed cooking grill. All fires/campfires must be in an elevated (at least 12 inches off the ground) self-contained campfire pit.

Ground/grass damaged by fire can result in a $100 additional charge to the credit card used to purchase your campsite.
