Camping at Pickin’ in the Pines
One of the magical things about a music festival is the
community that forms in the campgrounds. There, you'll find
complete strangers getting together and sharing tunes from a standard
repertoire, impromtu potluck meals, and all-night jam sessions. There
are plenty of opportunities to camp at Pickin’ in the Pines,
whether
you’re staying in a small tent or a large RV. FFOTM has reserved and will manage two areas for open camping. All camping areas are a moderate, 1/8 to 1/4
mile walk to the Pine Mountain Amphitheater, but there will be a free shuttle service between the campground and the Amphitheater. The campgrounds connect to the Flagstaff Urban Trail system, where you
can hike or bike for miles.
Camping Options
You have two options for camping at Pickin’ in the Pines. These two options are managed by Flagstaff Friends of Traditional Music and are available to festival goers for $15 per person for the entire weekend or Saturday night only for $10 per person. The campground opens at 3:00 pm on Thursday, September 11th and closes at 12:00 pm on Monday, September 15th.
Option 1 - The FFOTM Campground. FFOTM has
reserved the large Group Camping area at the Fairgrounds. Tall pine trees create a rustic “camping in
the woods” experience and provide shade during the heat of the day. Several picnic tables, raised BBQ grills, and
campfire rings are available to share with your neighbors. This camping area is open on a first come,
first served basis and is perfect for tent camping or those with small
trailers. Porta-potties are provided, but there are no shower faclities. The area along the
south fence will be designated as a "quiet area" as it adjoins the
Luke AFB camping area.
Option 2 – The Carnival Lot. This area is reserved for RVs and vehicle camping. There is ample space for the big rigs here
and the solid level asphalt provides an easy and stable setup. Pickin’ is allowed through the night, and
it’s okay to run your generator here. The
Carnival Lot is just across the road from the FFOTM Campground. If you require RV hookups, contact the Coconino County Parks and Recreation Office for information: (928) 774-3464.
After September 11, 2008, all
camping passes must be purchased at the gate. There should be
plenty of available camping for you and your family.
