Gate Hours:

10 AM - 10 PM

Camping Information:

Ticket purchase includes FREE camping access. (Excludes day passes)

Vehicles will be parked in designated areas.  Open space available for tents, canopies, hammocks, and all other non-vehicle camping is first-come-first-serve. 

Please note that Willystock is located at the top of a gravel hill with a steep incline. We have had no issue with standard cars and trucks getting up the drive; however, we do not recommend attempting to enter the festival grounds with a camper. Oversized vehicles may be turned away at the gate, and there is no RV camping option available at this time. Exceptions to this are subject to the festival host’s discretion and driver/vehicle handling capabilities regarding steep terrain. 

There will be a team member available with towing capabilities in the event that extra assistance is required for standard-sized vehicles.

Please bring all of your own necessary camping gear and treat this as a primitive camping event. Consider shelter, food, and water needs for multiple days and plan accordingly. 

 This event will continue rain or shine. In the event of rain, Gnome Gardens has a dry space available to dance and listen to music. Personal campfires are typically allowed, unless there is a local burn ban in place at the time of the event. Please clean up all campfires and camp garbage before you leave, including any rocks or leftover wood. DO NOT bring in outside firewood at the risk of spreading invasive insects or disease. There is plenty of firewood that can be gathered in the woods on the property. 

Gnome Gardens provides trash receptacles on site throughout festival grounds, as well as portable bathrooms with a hand-washing station. 

Willystock is not a pet-friendly event. Service animals in compliance with ADA regulations are permitted. Anyone impersonating a service animal will be asked to leave festival grounds.

Please note that several local rural dogs have been known to wander onto the festival grounds at any time. This is beyond staff control, and Willystock and Gnome Gardens are not liable for these animals. 

Accessibility/mobility note: At our current venue, there are no paved pathways available. Terrain is often sloped or uneven.
