It's always amazing that after a year of planning and effort, Pine Camp comes and goes in a single weekend--and what a weekend! Although I can jokingly (but also honestly) say that this was one of the ten best Pine Camps ever, it really was one of the very best. Y'all are such wonderful people, and you brought so much joy and love.

A special shout-out to the folks who keep coming back year after year, seeing what we are trying to do and helping us make it happen. Many thanks to our new visitors, we hope you had an amazing time and that you'll bring your friends next time!

To all the bands--what can I say? Thank you! We strive to make this a festival where musicians are honored guests, where you want to hang out and enjoy the party both before and after your set. I know that sometimes you just have to hit the road again to get to the next gig, but know that you're always welcome back and we hope you stay a while!

Once again, our volunteers did such an amazing job that the three of us who organize everything else hardly had to do a thing at the gate. Considering that I spent the first three or four Pine Camps being the main gate person and hardly every got to check out the stage, this has been an amazing transformation--and allows me to be an MC! (Remember those years when we didn't have anyone to announce the next band, and they just had to do it themselves? I'm so glad we are past that.) And speaking of the stage, Colin you absolutely ruled the sound board. Every band sounded amazing. Well done, sir!

We'll be posting more, but please add photos, videos, or any comments that you want to share with us! Since our old page got hacked and deleted, we are building from the ground and greatly appreciate your likes and comments!

Here's a little Ifdakar to get you back in the groove!

Helloooo Pine Campers! We are so excited to see you all this weekend! We have a couple of days of prep work to go, and then it's Go Time at noon on Friday!

A few reminders/info for new folks:

Dogs are great, we love dogs, please don't bring your dog(s). If you must, please keep it leashed at all times. If your dog is aggressive or threatening, or running willy-nilly, you will be asked to remove it from the property.

Absolutely no fi****ms, fireworks, or fires. It has been super dry and the last thing any of us want is to start a wildfire. We will have one communal fire in Pine Camp. You are welcome to bring and use propane grills and similar.

Please remember that you need to remove any trash that you make/bring. Our grounds are on the county line, and the driveway is in the wrong county so we don't have trash pickup.

BYOB and food--We will have a vendor slinging a variety of hot dogs, gyros, veggie wraps, and grilled cheeses.

Kids are free with a paid parent or guardian--we love helping to teach the next generation about the joys of live music and outdoor festivals!

The trees keep growing so we don't have as many places for large RVs as we used to, but we can accommodate a few motor homes and many smaller RVs, popups, etc. If you have any doubts about your driving/trailering ability we highly recommend that you take a walkabout to scope your route before taking any large vehicles past the gate and day parking. No hookups available.

If you have any questions or concerns at any time, please find one of our amazing volunteers wearing "Staff" shirts and we'll do what we can to assist you.

See you soon you wonderful people!

Who is ready for Pine Camp 2026? I sure as heck hope we ALL are, because it is this weekend!

The weather forecast keeps changing, and that's OK--there is a 100% chance of weather of one kind or another, as well as a 100% chance of music and fun with friends new and old!

Speaking of weather, here's a bit of from Shenks Block Party last year, right after a storm rolled through. We are super excited to welcome them back to the Pine Camp stage, and for the first time ever, as our festival co-hosts with The Missing Miles - new page!

Safe travels everyone, see you on Friday!

We are getting SO CLOSE to Pine Camp 2026! In less than one week, we will be fully immersed in the magic of the music, land, and great company. So on that note, here's a little Lair of the Hodag from our friends Dig Deep at earlier this year.

And with less than 3.5 hours left to buy your tickets at a $20 discount ($100 for weekend until midnight Central tonight; $40 Friday, $80 Saturday, $120 for weekend after midnight tonight), now's the time to make it happen!

It's the last day of presale tickets for Pine Camp 2026! (If you tried to purchase them earlier this morning and got the message that presales were closed, please try again--the settings closed sales one day earlier than intended and they are open again!)

Folks often ask what kind of music we showcase at Pine Camp, and we can't describe it with a single genre, except to say that all our musicians make music with instruments, and there is no AI Slop! That said, we are really excited to welcome our first Punk band to the stage on Saturday, with T***k Sniffer kicking things off for the day at noon! These folks have been regular guests at Pine Camp for years, and we are all so thrilled to take this next step in our collaboration with local musicians.
