Sustainability is a mantra that we know does not apply to just the environment that surrounds us, but to our future vision. We put forth our best efforts to lead by example through green initiatives. To date, we have rescued and donated over 17,395 pounds of food, 15,800 pounds of reusable supplies, diverted 150,000 pounds of waste, and saved 100,000 plastic straws from the landfill. We have banned single use plastics – you’ll notice at the bars that all cups are made from sustainable materials. 

We seek to sustain the experiences that Okeechobee has come to represent both now and years into the future. We do this with a commitment to maintaining organic growth of the festival, while staying true to our core principles; never losing sight of what we stand for, while always adapting to the changing festival landscape.

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.

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.

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.
