GENERAL ADMISSION CAMPGROUND INFORMATION

Site Map

Jamboree In The Hills has approximately 2500 on-site “primitive” camping spaces that are 20x40 in size and fully licensed and inspected by the Ohio Department of Health.  All campgrounds are extremely open and rolling fields with limited gravel road access.  All persons camping in or utilizing Jamboree In The Hills campground facilities do so at their own risk.  No liability is assumed by owners, managers, promoters, sponsors or others. 

What are the Arriving Procedures and Hours?  Jamboree campgrounds open on the Monday prior to the Event at 8 a.m.  Admittance into the campgrounds runs from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 12 noon Saturday.  Please arrive during these specified loading hours.  Overnight parking along public roads is not permitted until 6 a.m. each day.  Please follow the signs located along the highways as you near the site. Campers are parked in the order they arrive.  If you want to park with friends, you must arrive together.   

What do we receive with our pass? Upon your arrival, you will receive one camping permit for each camping ticket purchased.  This camping permit must be displayed on the camping unit. Arrive only in the vehicle(s) which require Camping Permit stickers.  Any camping unit towing a trailer will require 2 camping permits. Cargo, flatbed and utility trailers will not be permitted, unless towed by a normal passenger vehicle. 

What are we allowed on our space? Only one motorized vehicle is permitted for each space, except any vehicle pulling another licensed motor vehicle with a legal tow bar. No tents are permitted with self-contained camping units.  If you are camping in a tent, you are allowed a maximum of two tents per site. All tents will be required to have an official Jamboree In The Hills tag attached at all times to the outside zipper pull. Each tent found not having an official tag will be charged the full gate price for camping (no exceptions will be made).

Can I leave the site once I arrive? To keep your reserved space, camping units which leave the site must return prior to gates closing each night. Any vehicle leaving the campground must obtain a Return Pass for either a car/truck or a motorcycle.  You cannot return to the campground without this pass.  Gate hours are from 8 a.m. to 12 midnight Monday through Friday, 5:30 a.m. to 12 midnight Saturday & Sunday and 8 a.m. to 12 noon Monday. Jamboree In The Hills reserves the right to re-sell any space left unattended overnight without a permitted camper.  Signs or staking of areas is not acceptable.  NO EXCEPTIONS.  Campers losing their space forfeit all camping privileges without refund.  Any person possessing counterfeit camping permits or return passes will be ejected without refund and may be subject to prosecution.

Is there additional parking for extra vehicles?  Remote parking zones have been established for campers with an extra vehicle for an additional fee for the entire week or weekend. Parking zones are remote and may require you to use JITH shuttle buses.  These lots operate under the same hours as the Campground gates.  Camping is not permitted in these areas, and vehicles not displaying a Remote parking pass will be towed at the owner’s expense.  Vehicles with remote passes will not be permitted to enter the campgrounds.

Is there campground security and first aid?  Campground hosts are located at each campground entrance.  They are at your service 24 hours a day and have instant radio communications with the proper authorities.  Additional security personnel are constantly roaming the grounds via cruiser or horse.  Should you see any situation requiring attention, please bring it to the attention of security or your campground host. A 24 hour medical facility is located inside the concert area near Gate #1. 

Are there shuttles available?  Free shuttle service is provided for those campers parked in remote parking as well as Campgrounds D & E.  Continuous shuttle service will be available during campground gate hours.  All persons walking or riding the shuttle bus do so at their own risk.

What if I need water?  Please arrive with a full tank.  Temporary water tanks and trucks are on site for your convenience. Campers requiring water tanks filled for free may leave notes in their windshields: "Need Water."  Service is limited. Water will not be provided for swimming pools, truck beds, etc. unless all camping units have been serviced.  NO hot tubs or jacuzzis will be permitted into the campgrounds. Please do not bathe in any of the temporary water tank areas.

Are there dump stations?  Ohio law states that all RV owners are required to dump their holding tanks prior to their departure from Jamboree In The Hills.  Procedures are posted in these areas.  If asked, HP Septic sanitation trucks will pump holding tanks for a small fee while the camper remains in its space. All bath water, dish water, etc., except RV waste water, must be disposed of in the waste water disposal station areas.  They are placed throughout the campgrounds for your convenience.  Solid waste or raw sewage is prohibited at these stations.

Is there a daily trash pickup?   For health and safety reasons, please contain all trash in plastic bags and place adjacent to your camper for daily pickup.

Are we allowed to have campfires?  Outdoor cooking may only be done with a barbecue unit or an enclosed cooking grill.  Open fires are not permitted. Fire lanes must remain free and clear of all objects, obstructions and vehicles. Unauthorized vehicles in these lanes will be towed at the owner’s expense. 

Can I bring my pet?  Pets are NOT PERMITTED on the Jamboree In The Hills grounds.  Anyone found to be in possession of a pet on-site will be evicted.

Can I use my generator?  Please be considerate of your fellow campers.  Generators may be run between 7 am and midnight and must be attended while operating.  Unattended running generators will be shut down.

Are there port-a-jons and showers?  There are port-a-jon’s throughout the grounds for your convenience.  Shower trailers in Campgrounds A, B & D will be available to all campers. There will be a small fee for access to showers, sinks and dressing area.  We recommend you shower during off-peak times to have a better chance at having some hot water!

All local and state laws and house rules are to be observed while camping at Jamboree InThe Hills.

Security personnel will exercise their own judgment concerning disruptive behavior.  Non-pressurized spray bottles and squirt guns with finger pump type action are acceptable, as long as you don’t spray anyone without their permission.  Other water-spraying devices are not!  Security may remove any materials deemed inappropriate, ie: super-soakers, water balloon launchers, indecent displays, etc.  Obnoxious behavior and indecent exposure will not be tolerated at any time. Private quad-runners, golf carts and other similar vehicles are prohibited.  You will not be permitted to enter the grounds with any non-licensed motorized vehicle.

PLEASE REMEMBER -  YOUR CAMPING PASS DOES NOT GIVE YOU ACCESS TO THE ACTUAL SHOW VENUE.  EACH PERSON MUST ALSO PURCHASE A SHOW PASS!!!!!
