Nope! For normal weekdays and open weekends, reservations are not required. Just make sure there isn’t a festival happening by checking the event calendar first.

Are festival weekends priced the same as regular camping?

No, festival weekends usually have different pricing set by the event organizers, not standard ranch camping rates.

Who do I contact with questions about a specific festival?

Is Florida Sand Music Ranch open every day?

Yes! The ranch is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Can my organization rent the ranch for a private event?
