Camping & Accommodations

Where is ACE Adventure Resort located?

ACE Adventure Resort is located in Oak Hill, West Virginia in the heart of the New River Gorge National Park. Driving directions can be found HERE.

How do I reserve my campsite?

General Admission Camping is included with your festival tickets. There is no need to reserve a campsite. You will be assigned a camping spot, first come first serve, when you arrive to the event.

Will I be able to park at my campsite or cabin?

General admission tickets include car camping and you will be able to park at your site. Each camping site has enough space for two tents and a vehicle. If you upgrade your lodging to a cabin you will be able to park at your cabin. There is no need to purchase an additional car parking pass.

So when you say camping, what do you mean exactly?

You can pitch your tent in a flat, open field at the top of a mountain, adjacent to the festival and mountaintop stage area. You’ll be responsible for all the essentials, but spread around the camping area will be picnic tables and fire pits. Campsite sizes are 10′ wide by 30′ deep.

How much space will I have at my campsite?

Some spots are bigger than others but you will be guaranteed a camping space that is 10′ wide by 30′ deep. RV spots will be 20′ wide and the length 10′ longer than the RV.

How far are the festival grounds/stage area from my campsite?

Pretty close! In fact, the campground is just adjacent to the festival and stage area. All of which is at the top of the mountain. We also provide a free shuttle that will drive you around the campground and the resort. Campsites are first come, first serve and you will be assigned a parking/camping space when you arrive.

Can I save camping spaces for my friends that are coming later?

The short answer is no. You will be assigned spaces as you arrive by festival staff and in order to efficiently park everyone on the mountaintop we cannot reserve spaces. If you are arriving separately from your group we suggest parking at the bottom of the mountain where you can enjoy music at the Lake Stage and the waterpark. Once your group arrives, convoy up the mountain together where you will be assigned camping space.

How far are the festival grounds/stage area from my cabin?

Well, that depends really. Our cabins are spread across the 1,500 acre property so that cabin guests have as much privacy as possible. Depending on which cabin you’re in, you’ll have AT MOST a 15-minute shuttle ride. Check out our map for exact locations. Take advantage of the FREE shuttle throughout the weekend to get you around the mountain.

Are there restrooms & showers?

There are a good number of bathroom facilities spread across the camping area. The restrooms are hard structures with flushing toilets, sinks, and showers that are taken care of well during events. It’s not the Ritz, but it’s certainly not a hole in the ground and a hot kettle either. During the event the campground will also supplement the bathrooms with porta-potties to keep your wait limited.

Where else can I stay?

We’ve got lots of options on the ACE property for every kind of adventurer and festivalgoer! For information on all of our lodging options, check out the Lodging Page on ACE’s website. Remember that all of our packages have camping included. If you are looking to come and go each night, there are also local hotels off the ACE property.

When does the campground open?

The campground opens each day for new guests at 10AM. Want to come early? You can arrive onsite earlier to enjoy the waterpark and The Lost Paddle Bar/Restaurant. However, you will not be able to go to the mountaintop until 10AM on your arrival day.
