When should I plan to arrive at OMF? What determines where I camp?
Your ticket type and time of arrival will determine where you camp. Please only go to the Portal that you are instructed to enter into.
Camping is first come, first served. We recommend arriving as soon as Portals open on March 19, 2026 in order to secure your campsite. If you want to camp next to your friends, make sure you all arrive together! We recommend meeting up 40+ miles outside of Okeechobee with your friends if you’re driving separately and caravaning in together.
My group is in multiple cars, how do we camp together?
In order to camp together, you must all have the same ticket types (like GA Car Camping, VIP Car Camping, RV Camping, etc). You will be camped around the people that arrive at the same time as you. We recommend meeting up 40+ miles outside of Okeechobee with your friends if you’re driving separately and caravaning in together. You will not be able to hold camping spots for people arriving later or pulling off to wait for your friends once you go through security.
Can I buy a camping add-on by itself?
It’s very important to purchase your car camping pass at the same time that you buy your festival tickets. Car Camping passes can only be purchased in conjunction with your Festival Ticket. After you cart your festival ticket, you will have the option to add a car camping pass as well.
If you forgot to add your car camping pass at check-out, then do not purchase a Camping pass add-on at the time of festival pass purchase, please contact the OMF team at info@okeechobeefest.com.
