Dry camping essentially means that you are setting up a tent in the designated camping area. Please note that vehicles will not be permitted in the designated camping area, however parking will be in close proximity within the campground.

What if it rains during the event?
Weather is unpredictable, especially in Texas. We do not offer any guarantee on what type of weather will occur during the event.

We recommend campers utilize local weather forecasting and prepare accordingly. Please see the Refund/Cancellation Policy for information regarding refunds or event cancellation.

Unfortunately, no. Out of respect for the campers and at the direction of the venue, Camp Kalash will only be accessible to attendees that purchased a camping ticket and are in possession of the appropriate camp credentials. The campground serves as lodging over the entire 3-day weekend and we want to respect the space and camp experience for those who paid for the opportunity to camp on site.

The campground will have a strict ZERO firearm handling policy for the entirety of the event period.

This applies to all firearms including non-firing display guns, prop guns, competition, and personal firearms. Concealed Carry is welcome for all attendees and staff.
