Boats and Bluegrass RV Camping
Reservations and Passes
Over the years, Boats and Bluegrass has grown into an amazing community of passionate campers. We love that you are taking advantage of what the beautiful driftless region has to offer! With this, we have noticed some growing trends like more families attending the festival and the desire for additional reserved space. We’re excited to offer our festival-goers a variety of options for camping. These options help guarantee more room for tent campers, quieter spaces for families, and safe & secure sites for RV campers.
Folks with RV Models (Campers, Vans, and Buses) over 24ft (Model number indicated) length will need to reserve a site in one of the 3 RV camping areas within Prairie Island Park. Check out the information and links below to reserve your RV spot for Boats and Bluegrass. There are two general admission camping areas. The main area is located within the campground and the other is at the Latsch Camp. Camping in these areas is available to ticket holders who camp in tents, vehicles and RVs that are 24ft and under.
