Do you sell single day tickets?
We do not sell any single day advance tickets. Typically we sell a Saturday/Sunday ticket and a Sunday only ticket at the box office.
Can we arrive Friday night if we only want to get a Saturday/Sunday ticket?
No- tickets include camping and parking so Friday night would not be included in a Saturday/Sunday ticket. The same goes for Saturday night if you
only want a Sunday ticket.
Is there going to be a family camping area this year?
Yes! After some confusion last year, we are going to set aside a nice, quiet-hour, family camp
area where we hope parking access will be close to camping. We will have clear signage.
More details will be posted soon!
We have a vw camper van that we prefer to sleep and make food in. According to the online information,
my van is not an RV so we can't stay in that area. Also according to the information, we can't "camp" in the parking area.
So, my question is, will you have a van parking area that we can camp in that is somewhat level?
...as stated in the small RV policy that we are implementing this year,
we will save a place and a more flat area for vans and such where they can sleep comfortably in the vehicle.
They will not be able to set up a camp next to the vehicle at all. They can certainly set up a day use area
for themselves, i.e. chairs and such with the rest of the tent campers, but because we do not mix camping and
cars they can't set up along side their vans.

As usual, there will be early arrival allowed again this year starting at
4pm on Thursday, July 17, 2008. Fees for car and driver are $20 ($10 for car
and $10 for driver). Each additional person over 10 years old, is $10. Please
note that same camping regulations apply for early arrivals. The gates open to the
public beginning at 12:00pm on Friday, July 18. Gates will close Monday,
at 12:00pm on July 21. Horning’s Hideout offers primitive camping only.
The camping areas will be separate from the parking areas. Drinking water
is also available for no fee. A variety of independent vendors will be
selling food and crafts for the duration of the event. Ice and bottled water
will be available for purchase. An ATM will be onsite. We encourage patrons
to bring enough cash to last the three-day weekend. Portable toilets and
hand washing stations are located throughout the Hideout. Telephones
will be available to the public for local calls. Calling cards will
be necessary for long distance calls.
A special Kids Area will feature the Horning’s Hideout playground equipment,
organized games, crafts and volunteer chaperones. Please stay with your
child at all times. Please also take advantage of the free children
identification bracelets available in the Kids Area. The children ID
bracelets will identify the child and parents name. This year we have
also organized a Lost Child Protocol. We request that any parent that
becomes separated from their child notify staff or security immediately.
When a child is missing all existing vehicles will be stopped so that
the identity of any exiting children can be verified. We apologize
for any inconvenience that results from this policy. Lets keep our children safe!
A Family Camping area will be open to anyone wishing to camp with children
or otherwise enjoy a more quiet camping experience. We ask that noise and partying
be kept out of this area.

String Summit is a strong family-oriented festival. We have a designated family
camping area where quiet hours are observed. We also have a "kid's tent" that
features all manner of arts and crafts. String Summit volunteers are on hand to
facilitate and provide limited supplies. Please note this is not a day-care or
babysitting service. Volunteers cannot accept responsibility for your children.
We encourage parents to supervise and participate.
In order to minimize the trauma of lost children, children under 10, who are admitted
free with paying adult, will not be permitted to enter or exit the amphitheater without
a responsible adult. Even non-paying children are required to wear a wristband.
We encourage you to stop by the kid's tent and write their name on their band with
permanent marker. If you do lose a child please report it immediately to a radio
wearing security person. We will then lock down the amphitheater until your child is located.
Please keep your little ones well fed and well hydrated, and don't forget to keep
them protected from the sun. Sunscreen and hats are strongly encouraged
for everyone, especially kids! Hoola Hoops and safe toys are always welcome.
