Planning on camping at VanHoy? Interested in Glamping? Flying in? Here’s some information for staying onsite, staying nearby, and traveling to the Goose.

PRIMITIVE CAMPING

One campsite is included with every ticket. Campsites aren’t marked or numbered – be sure you arrive early enough to look around, pick your favorite spot, and get set up before dark.

If you want “full service” tent camping, check out Dana’s Edventures – she’ll rent you a tent, air mattress, chairs, and more. She’ll also set it up and take it down for you. Whether you’re camping with Dana or not, everyone is welcome at her campfire every evening!

GLAMPING

If you’d like something a little more glamorous, more roomy, and with electricity, Glamping may be the choice for you. Click here to book your Glamping reservation.

RV SITES

We still have non-hookup RV sites for sale here.

HOTEL and TRAVEL

If you’re staying nearby, need directions, or are flying in, check out our webpage with a map, local accommodations, and nearby airports.

The Heat, Food, Showers, Shuttles, and More 2023

By Rollouts2 Comments

More Shade – More Food – More Showers –

More Shuttles – and More Community

We’re doing some things to make your experience more enjoyable this year!

SHADE, FANS, AND MISTING AREAS

  • We’re repurposing almost 10,000 sq ft of shade mesh (formerly used at Main Stage in Hot Springs) to create shaded areas that will be stretched between most of our venues.
  • We’re adding dozens of fans to provide airflow in our venues.
  • We’re providing misting areas to walk through.

FOOD

Wild Goose 2023 will have more food options from more vendors. Pretty much all of the 2022 food group return with more added! Check them out on our website here.

SHOWERS

Not only will we have a few more showers this year, but they’ll have custom platforms. No one has to stand in the mud to take a shower!

SHUTTLES

Shuttles will run later to accommodate more folks leaving in the evening, or returning for our later programming.

ARENA CAMPING

City Glamping will be set up around the edges (and under the roof) of the Arena (Main Stage is being re-named and moving out of the Arena). Book a Glamping tent here.

Regular tent camping will be available on the floor of the Arena, for anyone who wants all-day protection from the sun (and possible rain). No extra cost and no reservations – first come, first served. Note, it’s a concrete floor, so no tent stakes allowed.

By the way, we need a “Mayor” of Arena Camping – help build the vibe and welcome folks. If you’re interested, let us know.

COMMUNITY

Our 2023 layout says Community at every turn with a central Commons Stage, a strategically located Living Room, the Arena repurposed for camping support, expansion of The Grove, and more.

The Grove 2023

By RolloutsNo Comments

The Grove at Wild Goose Festival 2023!

Mindfulness. Connection. An intentional space for mind, body, soul, and spirit. A space for rejuvenation, conversation, and compassion. The Grove.

The Grove is home to Healing Arts, Relating Arts, and Yoga. Whether you come for an Experience at one of these venues, or to join an impromptu discussion, there’s something at The Grove for all.

Healing Arts was established by Pastor/Shaman Nar as a sacred space for talented healers to share their gifts. This nurturing environment is designed to care for your body, soul, and spirit, inviting you to experience healing and renewal within a compassionate and supportive setting that embraces your inherent goodness, worth, and belovedness, without reservation.

Relating Arts is described as a “we” space for intention, attention, and connection. It’s a curated venue to practice connection that’s both deep and joyful. Facilitators concentrate on relational vibrancy, making space for interactive experiences within each workshop to practice in real time.

Join us at the Yoga tent for practices meant to bring mind, body, and spirit into balance. Move the body. Still the mind. Connect with breath. Honor the light within you, see the light within others. Anyone is welcome to enjoy peace, relaxation, and mindfulness at the Yoga tent.

The venue tents aren’t the only reason to come to The Grove. This year, there will also be vendors nearby that will complement the overall vibe of this space. Even if you don’t stop by to catch an Experience at The Grove, it will be a welcoming space for anyone to visit.
