WAYS TO HELP KEEP OUR FESTIVAL GREEN:
:-Pack light! You're here for 3 days- not 3 months! Plus, you�re camping on a hill- so what you bring you'll have to carry!
-CARPOOL- it's more fun, less expensive, and cuts down on all of those unnecessary emissions!
-Think �reusable:� Spoons, forks, knives, plates, cups-again it's easier on your pocket AND on the environment!-Styrofoam is NOT our friend! It never decomposes. Leave it at the store.
-Throw away your cigarette butts! They take TEN YEARS to decompose!
-Dispose of your garbage throughout the weekend! It makes the end cleanup much easier on you AND on us!

What to Leave Behind ... Here at Mountain Jam, our goal is to create a connection between sharing live music and capturing that sense of community festivals represent. When you are at Mountain Jam, we want you to know that you are what makes this possible. If we all respect each other, we can, together, capture something powerful! We are all neighbors here, and this is a place where you can feel free to express yourself!! But, this is only possible if you help us respect a few things along the way: We will be checking for illegal substances, glass bottles, bicycles/scooters/go-carts/ATVs, professional recording equipment, aerosol sprays, and weapons of any kind, so please leave all of this at home!! And, we're afraid that no pop-up tents will be allowed in the concert field!! Safety is a number one concern here, and we want to assure everyone it's cool to sit back, relax, and enjoy the musical adventure.
Please don't start any open fires, set off fireworks, or vend without a permit. We want to have just as much fun as you do, and if we get shut down the fun is over for everyone! Please leave your pets behind, too! In the concert grounds, please don't bring coolers or beverages of any kind (one sealed bottle of water is ok!), umbrellas, outside food, camelbacks, or professional video or audio equipment. We really appreciate your cooperation on this stuff!

:::Camping::: The campgrounds will open up on Friday at 9am and close early Monday morning. Concert goers without a camping wristband will not be permitted into the on-site camping area- so keep this in mind when you're buying tickets with your friends! Although this year there will be a shuttle bus in the parking lot to get you to the front gates, you may want to bring extra means of carrying your gear up the hill to your campsite. Unfortunately, the terrain doesn't allow for car-side camping- so make sure you pack light as you may not feel like returning to your car for the duration for the weekend!
We also ask all of our campers to please allow a 10' pathway between campsites for emergency vehicles to pass thru!
RV's : Due to limited parking accommodations and terrain issues, we discourage RV's. This year there will be RV passes issued, but there is a limited supply so buy early to guarantee your place!

Our RV area is separate and on the opposite end of the parking lot from the campgrounds. If you purchase an RV pass, you are guaranteed a spot; if you do not, all extra RV's will be turned away! RV passes will cost an extra $205 on top of the purchase of a camping ticket. Do to space restrictions, Companion Vehicles will not be permitted to park next to the RV. If you leave for any reason, you will not be permitted to return to the RV lot. RV length is limited to 30 feet. For any length beyond this, please contact customer service at info @ mountainjam . com. This pass is good for one RV spot. This is not a festival ticket. This pass is non-transferable.

Kegs may not be brought onto the property. Please keep these things in mind and be sensible about how much you plan to bring in.
