Firefly Music Festival

There are three RV Camping options available at this event:

Standard RV Camping is the most economical option and is located in the South Camping ground. The camping spaces are 25’ x 40’. Amenities include access to shower facilities and the South Camping Hub for shopping needs, cell-phone charging stations, ice-sales and water refills. These campsites do not have water, electric, or sewer hookups.

Front Row RV Camping is the next tier up from Standard RV Camping, located at the front of the South Camping ground closest to the festival venue entrance. These camping spaces are 25’ x 45’. Amenities include those of the Standard RV Camping, plus shower fast-passes. These campsites do not have water, electric, or sewer hookups.

Infield RV Camping is the only campsite option with full water, electric, and sewer hook-ups included. They also include one free servicing for gray and black water dumping. These campsites are located in the infield of the Dover International Speedway, and farther from the festival grounds than the Front Row RV Camping. These camping spaces are 25’ x 45. Check-in is expedited, and access to the Infield Lounge and shower fast-passes are included.

Tent Camping is available at the North and South tent campgrounds. The North Tent Campgrounds are closest to the Main Stage and feature amenities such as shower facilities, lounging beach with sports activities, and daily waste removal. The South Tent Campgrounds is closest to the main entrance of the festival and is within walking distance of shops and restaurants in the city of Dover. Amenities at the South Tent Campgrounds include daily waste water removal, mobile ice sales, and access to four ranger stations.

Pre-Set Camping and Glamping options are available with a range of amenities. Carefree camping includes a tent, sleeping bags, and air mattresses for four people, a solar light, and access to the Hub and camping lounge. Elevated Camping offers raised tents and double beds for two or four people. These campsites come with private and air-conditioned showers and restrooms, and access to the Hub. There are five levels of Glamping tents available, including some fully air-conditioned and with an electric power source. None of the Tent, Pre-set Camping or Glamping options provide parking spaces large enough to accommodate an RV at the site.

There are a number of private campgrounds within a thirty-minute drive to the Firefly Music Festival venue. Amenities of these private campgrounds include full hookups, swimming pool, camp store, comfort stations, and charcoal grills. If full hookups for electric, sewer, and water are a priority, or if you don’t mind driving to the venue each day, it may be more cost effective to stay in a private campground and utilize the day parking at the festival.

The festival venue and campgrounds are quite large so you should allow time to get from place to place. The festival’s official website provides a detailed map of camping areas and the type of camping available at each site. On-site shuttles are also provided free of charge, 24 hours a day, for attendees to travel between North Camping, South Camping, the Overnight Parking Lot, and the Will Call Box Office. There are no golf carts allowed, so all travel around the festival grounds and back to the campgrounds is on foot. There is a dedicated Accessibility Center at the South Venue Entrance to assist attendees with mobility issues and Accessible camp spots are available upon registration.

The Firefly Music Festival is a rain or shine event, so be sure to bring clothing suitable for hot summer days and cool nights. Be prepared for rain with a rain jacket or poncho and boots in case the venue becomes muddy. Umbrellas are not permitted at Firefly. There are also large areas with no shade cover, so you’ll want to have a hat and sunglasses to block the rays.

Be deliberate in your choice of a campground and know what amenities and utilities will be available to you. If you’re at a site without RV hookups, make a plan for your water, electricity, and waste needs. Firefly Music Festival is a cashless event, and vendors will only accept credit and debit cards.

Avoid sun exposure by packing and regularly applying sunblock. Make sure to carry a refillable water bottle and stay hydrated. You may want to wear bug spray to avoid mosquito bites in the evening. The festival offers numerous first aid stations throughout the venue and in the campgrounds, but it’s always a good idea to pack a basic first aid kit in your rig.

If you plan on cooking your meals, be mindful that charcoal grills and open fires are not permitted in the campgrounds. Propane camp stoves and coolers are allowed, and there is ice available for sale at various points. It is always a good idea to bring your own basic food supplies for convenience and savings.
