New Grilling Policies

Safety is our number one priority, and we’ve been working closely with the New York State Department of Health and new DOH regulations implemented to ensure our Tent Campsites are safe. This year, any grill inside the tent campgrounds is prohibited. We understand that's a disappointment, so we have created a designated grilling area for our Tent Campers, located up the hill, near the Samsung Base Camp in the Hunter Campgrounds. Staff will be present 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, and from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Friday through Sunday to light and maintain the grills provided. Click here for more details regarding the new grilling policies for campers.

Our New Outlaw Village

As an Outlaw ticket holder, we have some exciting changes to our Outlaw area. This year, Taste of Country Music Festival introduces to you, our new Outlaw village. We've created better views, more room to relax, and faster, easier food and beverage lines for a remarkable Outlaw experience. If you have questions on-site, please visit our Outlaw Concierge, located at the entrance of the Outlaw Village. Click here for more details.
