Absolutely no generators in Walk-In Camping.

If you bring a generator for your RV / Car / Boutique campsite, you MUST have a fire barrier and fire extinguisher accompanying.

Wolf Run Ranch is located in a fire prone region of eastern Oregon. All fires start small so please do your part to help us prevent open fire! We will NOT allow any open flame (Fires or Candles) anywhere on the grounds during the event. Smoking is limited to designated smoking areas scattered throughout the event site and camping areas. Camping stoves can be used in the community kitchen areas in the camping areas and we ask patrons to use EXTREME caution when using camping stoves.

If you or any person you are with are caught doing or distributing illicit substances, we have no choice but to remove your wristband and press charges with the Wasco County Sheriff’s office (federal jurisdiction means marijuana is illegal!)

Keep in mind, All Vehicles are subject to search upon entering Wolf Run Ranch property. This is for the protection of all parties and should be easy if you play by the rules. Should you choose to refuse to have your vehicle searched, your tickets will be confiscated and you will be turned around. The box office is in a separate location from the What The Festival event and camping areas. Your vehicle will be processed in the order in which you arrived and you will be sent to the parking / camping areas accordingly post search. Please be patient!

A moderate* amount of alcohol will be permitted for patrons who are 21+. We will be enforcing a strict no open container policy as well as a no glass policy. This is for everyone’s safety and consideration, please obey the rules or we will be forced to remove your wristband and remove you from the property. (*modest is described as 1 (one) case of canned beer and 1 (one) plastic bottle of alchohol PER 21+ PERSON)

These items will be confiscated and violators will be removed from the property via Wasco Co Sheriffs.

You may not bring your own PA or large soundsystem. Small portable radios or battery powered speakers are okay, but please be respectful of your neighbors.

To avoid any significant delay, it is highly recommended that you notify us in advance if you have a special needs situation. We retain the right of refusal as Oregon law does not recognize “therapy dogs” for special needs. Please get in touch with us at tickets@whatthefestival.com for more information.
