If you prefer full-service RV parks with hookups over primitive festival camping, several excellent options sit within 30-40 minutes of the festival grounds:

Tulsa NE / Will Rogers Downs KOA — Located in Claremore (about 30 minutes from the festival), this pet-friendly KOA offers full hookup sites supporting 30- or 50-amp service, pull-through access for rigs up to 80 feet, complimentary WiFi, and proximity to Will Rogers Downs Casino. The campground provides a quieter basecamp option while keeping you close to Rocklahoma's action.

Bernice State Park — About 35 minutes northeast at Grand Lake's northwest corner, Bernice State Park offers 33 RV campsites with 50-amp electric and water hookups, comfort stations with showers, boat ramps, and access to Grand Lake fishing. Known as the "crappie capital of the world," it's perfect if you want to combine rock festival fun with lakeside relaxation.

Cherokee Area at Grand Lake State Park — Located in Langley (40 minutes from the festival), this scenic state park on Grand Lake's west shore provides RV camping with electric hookups, comfort stations, hiking trails, fishing access, and a nine-hole golf course. It offers a beautiful natural setting for your Rocklahoma basecamp.

Honey Creek Area at Grand Lake State Park — About 40 minutes away, this cozy 40-acre park offers two campgrounds (Raccoon Ridge and Squirrel Hollow) with electric hookups, comfort stations, a public swimming pool, a lighted boat ramp, and fishing docks on Grand Lake. The spring foliage and Ozark Mountain backdrop create a stunning setting.

Twin Bridges Area at Grand Lake State Park — Located near Wyandotte (45 minutes from Pryor), this 63-acre campground at the junction of the Neosho and Spring Rivers offers 63 RV sites with electric and water hookups, comfort stations with showers, and excellent fishing access. Trophy-sized bass, catfish, and paddlefish make this an angler's paradise.

The Catch the Fever Festival Grounds are expansive, and you'll cover significant ground walking between campsites, stages, vendor areas, and facilities. Wear comfortable, broken-in shoes or boots—the terrain includes grass, gravel, and dirt paths that can turn muddy if rain occurs.

Personal golf carts, ATVs, and unlicensed motorized vehicles are not permitted on festival grounds or in campgrounds. Walking and bicycling are your primary transportation options once you've parked your RV at your campsite.

Late August in Oklahoma means hot days and warm nights. Daytime temperatures typically range from 80-90°F, with nighttime lows around 65-70°F. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing for daytime festival activities, plus a light jacket or hoodie for cooler evenings at your campsite.

Many festival-goers embrace rock 'n' roll style—band t-shirts, cut-off shorts, bandanas, and boots are common. Costumes and creative outfits are encouraged, especially if you're competing for "Best Camp" honors. Whatever you wear, prioritize comfort and sun protection.

Closed-toe shoes are strongly recommended for navigating the festival grounds. Oklahoma's late summer weather can also bring unexpected rain, so pack waterproof boots or shoes just in case.

Essential items include sunscreen (Oklahoma sun is intense), a wide-brimmed hat, reusable water bottle, ear protection (three days of rock concerts are LOUD), and a flashlight or headlamp for navigating campgrounds at night.

Camping essentials: camp chairs, coolers, portable grill (grills allowed in designated areas), tarps or canopies for shade, sleeping bags or bedding, and battery-powered fans or portable AC units if your RV doesn't have built-in cooling. Many campers bring elaborate decorations, sound systems, and lighting to create memorable campsite experiences.

Small bills and cash are useful for vendors, though many accept cards. The festival has "reverse ATMs" that convert cash to prepaid cards for use at cashless locations like the General Store and Box Office.

Stay hydrated—Oklahoma heat combined with three days of festival activities requires constant water intake. You can bring one factory-sealed water bottle into the festival daily, and refill stations are available throughout the grounds.

Pack a basic first aid kit with bandages, pain relievers, blister treatment, and any prescription medications. The festival has medical stations staffed by trained professionals, and security is present 24/7 throughout campgrounds and festival areas.

Sunburns are common—reapply sunscreen every few hours, especially if you're in and out of the water at your campsite. Insect repellent helps during evening hours when mosquitoes are active.

Most RV travelers cook meals at their campsites, taking advantage of RV kitchens or portable grills. You can bring outside food and beverages into the campgrounds (but not into the concert area), so stock up on groceries in Tulsa, Pryor, or nearby towns before arriving.

Grills are permitted in designated areas, but no campfires or open bonfires allowed. If fire bans are in effect, propane grills and RV stoves remain your best cooking options.

Pryor (4 miles south) and Adair (4 miles north) offer local meal options and fast-food chains for quick, affordable dining. For more variety, Tulsa's extensive restaurant scene is about 45 minutes away, featuring everything from BBQ joints and brewpubs to upscale dining.

Plan restaurant trips for non-festival hours, as vehicle traffic is restricted in campgrounds from 9 PM to 6 AM.

Rocklahoma features dozens of food vendors serving everything from classic festival fare (burgers, pizza, tacos, BBQ) to specialty options. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free choices are typically available. The VIP catering tent offers complimentary meals for VIP pass holders (Friday dinner, Saturday and Sunday lunch and dinner).

Expect standard festival pricing. Many vendors now accept cards, and reverse ATMs on-site convert cash to prepaid cards for cashless vendors. Water and non-alcoholic beverages are sold at concession stands, and free water refill stations are scattered throughout the festival grounds.
