POLICIES

Greetings COUNTRY THUNDER Campers!

 

Before heading out, and for the safety and enjoyment of everyone at this year’s festival, please take a moment to review our guidelines: ​

 

• If you are dropping off a camper/RV for another fan, and you do not have full-event admission, you will need to purchase a Camper Drop Off pass. The person dropping off the camper/RV MUST have the name and campsite number from the registered site owner. 

 

• Your campsite includes one vehicle pass, which will allow one vehicle to enter the campgrounds. A vehicle is anything with a motor, including an RV! If you are hauling a trailer, the trailer will not require a vehicle pass. If it has a steering wheel, it is considered a vehicle.

 

• Campsites varry in size. Your camping unit must not exceed the size you have purchased. Should your camping unit be oversize, you MUST purchase two (2) sites side by side. Under no circumstances can items in your campsite impede on another campsite. This includes camper/RV pop-out slides. 

 

• The fee charged for camping is for the campsite for the entire weekend. 

​

• We do not limit the number of fans per campsite, as long as y'all fit - but you are responsible for all guests on your site. Respect your camping neighbors. 

 

• Each campsite must be registered to one adult, 18 years of age or older.  This individual accepts full responsibility for the campsite. Any CT campground rules broken may mean eviction with NO REFUND, absolutely NO EXCEPTIONS.

 

• Country Thunder reserves the right to move any site/camper at its discretion, at any time prior to or during the festival. Best efforts will be made to relocate you to a site near the original location, however, new placement will be at Country Thunder’s sole discretion.

 

• Camping stickers must be placed on the motor vehicle belonging to the camping unit. Any vehicles / camping units without a camping sticker are subject for removal.

 

• Lost or stolen camping / vehicle stickers can be replaced for a fee. Limit 1 replacement per person.

 

• All vehicles will be subject to search upon entering the site. All campground occupants must wear a full-event wristband.

​​

• Country Thunder considers motorcycles vehicles. Should you choose to bring a motorcycle to Country Thunder, it must have the appropriate tag (primary camping vehicle sticker, or Extra Vehicle Pass). All motorcycles found without the appropriate credential will be impounded. There is no designated motorcycle parking area in any of our campgrounds or parking lots.

 

• Unlicensed vehicles, campers, trailers, motorcycles are not permitted on the Country Thunder Festival sites. Country Thunder may remove these at the owner’s expense.   All unlicensed vehicles will be removed after the festival, with tow bills sent to the registered owner of the campsite via mail. 

 

• No: ATVs, Golf Carts, Mopeds, Bicycles, Skateboards, Scooters, Hoverboards or any other similar devices, with the exception of those permitted for handicap transportation, are allowed. Unauthorized vehicles may be impounded and Country Thunder accepts no responsibility for such vehicles, or for any damage to unauthorized vehicles.

 

• A paid golf cart taxi system is available to get you around the campground area. Any unauthorized golf cart taxis will be removed and passed along to the local authorities.

 

• Please keep the campground roads and driving lanes clear for emergency vehicle access at all times. Any vehicles found to be blocking the fire lane will be towed at owner’s expense. It is a non-negotiable if festival organizers or emergency crews require you to immediately move a vehicle or RV.

 

• Any stunting, unsafe operation or violation with a motor vehicle is prohibited, and anyone engaging in this behavior will be reported and/or turned over to the local police.

 

• Cruising or riding in the back of pickup trucks is prohibited in all camping areas.

 

• Country Thunder reserves the right to dismantle and/or remove any structure, pool, dance floor, or any other item that it determines to be a safety concern for CT patrons or staff.  

 

• Upholstered household furniture is not allowed in the campgrounds. If you bring any of this furniture to  the festival site, you will be fined a minimum of $300 by campground staff. Arrangements can be made to return the payment by removing the furniture. 

 

• Generators will be allowed to operate between 7:00 am and Midnight. If your generator makes excessive noise and fumes it will be shut off. People with health-related issues that require generators to run all night must run “whisper mode” to not disturb other campers. Any non-compliance will result in eviction without refund. If festival organizers or emergency crew request that you turn off your generators, this request is non-negotiable.

 

• The Country Thunder site is beautiful - please help us to keep it that way. Please ensure that you bring trash bags with you to the festival, pick up your trash and keep your campsite clean. Please place bags in large dumpsters that are found at the end of each camping row. Owners of trash filled sites will be subject to a fine starting at a minimum of $300 and may have renewal rights suspended. Additional trash bags are available from campground staff or at the campground office.

 

• Anyone found tampering, vandalizing, stealing, or destroying any property of Country Thunder or property of any other festival goers will be turned over to the authorities for prosecution.

 

• Country Thunder is not responsible for any materials misplaced, lost, damaged or stolen items or property. It is recommended that you do not bring valuable items. 

 

• For your convenience showers, portable toilets, and non-potable water stations are available throughout the campground. If you cause damage to these properties or any other properties onsite you will face eviction and turned over to the authorities for prosecution.

 

• We love our pets, but Country Thunder strongly recommends that you leave your pets at home. The crowds can cause distress for many animals. If you do bring a pet to Country Thunder, you are responsible for your pet. Pets must be LEASHED and kept at your campsite at all times. You are responsible for cleaning up after your pet. Please keep your pet safe and secured on your campsite. Aggressive pets are not allowed, and will be removed from the campground at the discretion of festival organizers. No pets will be allowed into the festival bowl at any time (expect approved service dogs).
