515 ALIVE ON-SITE CAMPING
(18+ ONLY)
Camp on site and never miss any of the action! Water Works is a massive urban park directly outside of Downtown Des Moines and it's as beautiful as can be! The park itself gives off the vibe of being secluded in a music paradise but just behind the thick tree line is our beautiful downtown. It’s truly a hybrid city-festival/camping-festival. Camping allows travelers (and locals!) an easier on-site option that is much cheaper and convenient than hotels. Camping music festivals have their own cultures and tight knit communities, and we are excited to integrate that into 515 Alive once again! These spaces will be VERY limited. Camping spots will be available to less than 30% of our estimated total number of attendees. Festival ticket holders without camping wristbands/passes WILL NOT be able to enter the camping area at any point. Each person entering a camping area must have their own camping ticket purchased!

GENERAL CAMPING INFO
CAPACITY IS LIMITED - 30% of the estIMATED total # of attendees
After the move to the amphitheater, camping this year is one general area on the west end of the park. Unfortunately there was no closer option for premier camping so all premier camping ticket holders will automatically be refunded down to the GA camping price point. Camping is strictly 18+. Water Works is an extremely large and beautiful park with plenty of space for campsites. There are VERY limited spots available. Less than 30% of the festival attendees will secure camping spots.
Because camping is now further away from the festival grounds we are offering a FREE shuttle to take you to the festival. The shuttle will pick you up directly outside of the campgrounds starting at 3pm and bring you right by the entrance of the festival. It will also take you back to the campsite from the festival grounds at any time until midnight
Camping sites are a VERY short walk to parking
Camping spots come with FREE PARKING & FREE SHUTTLES TO THE VENUE
Campers can ALSO get shuttled to the venue after parties with the purchase of a shuttle pass on the after party ticketing page.
No personal open fires
