Camping is a great part of the Starbelly Jam experience!

Camping with your Starbelly Music Festival community is a wonderful, freeing, expressive experience that often feels like an escape from reality, but it’s important to keep your wits about you. Be good to yourself and to each other. Continue the Starbelly Jam legacy of being respectful, caring, kind and gentle with your camping community.

Camp near your friends, mark your property and your tent and take your valuables with you when leaving. If you’re not camped near your friends, make friends with your neighbors!

Festival Sustainability

Starbelly Jam is committed to reducing the environmental impact of our event. This includes food vendors using bio-degradable plates, bowls,cups, and cutlery. The event hosts comprehensive waste stations where compost, recycling, returnable beverage containers, and ‘real’ garbage are separated. Please help us reduce our waste by using only biodegradable materials for your food and snacks. If you bring snack-wrappers or containers that will go to the garbage, consider taking it home with you.
