There’s no difference. Once you enter the gate, you are within festival grounds and campgrounds. There are, however, set “camping areas,” and a difference between “camping areas” and “concert areas.” While you may bring outside food and beverages (no outside alcohol) into the grounds, you may not bring any outside food or beverages into the designated “concert areas.”
There are no assigned campgrounds other than VIP camping, which is still set up on a first-come first-serve basis, but only to VIP festival attendees. There is an area designated for substance-free camping, which is open to families as well. For information regarding ADA needs, please visit our Accessibility Page.
We have indoor shower trailers with air conditioning and hot water. These are available for a small fee in General Camping. There are also showers in the VIP Campground, and those facilities are free for those campers with VIP credentials.
Air conditioned bathroom trailers with full-flushing toilets and rinse sinks are provided in the General Campground just north of the RV area near the showers, as well as in the VIP Camping areas. There are also porta potties dispersed throughout the festival grounds.
Porta potties never close. The bathroom & shower trailers close at 9pm in the general festival grounds, but bathrooms and shower trailers are open 24 hours in VIP for those campers with VIP credentials.
Bars at the festival offer everything from soda & water, to draft beers, mixed drinks and specialty cocktails.
There will be a variety of food vendors serving different types of food, including vegetarian options.

There are no refunds. The event is rain or shine. The purchaser and/or bearer of a Solshine Reverie ticket understands that he/she is purchasing this ticket to the Solshine Reverie and not a particular artist’s performance. The festival is outdoors and weather conditions will affect the performances of all entertainers, and there is a possibility that a particular performer may not be able to perform due to weather conditions. Thus, the purchaser and/or bearer of the ticket understands, acknowledges and will not expect a refund for the purchase of the ticket for any talent cancellations for any reason. Talent lineup and schedule are subject to change at any time.
The regular VIP package offers parking across from VIP camping, which is closer than the regular parking lot. VIP Deluxe and Super Deluxe get the front spots in this VIP parking area.
Each ticket increase can happen without notice, but we generally try to send out a heads up via social media and email when each tier is running low, so purchase your tickets as soon as possible!

No vehicles are allowed in festival grounds unless you have an RV / Car Camping Spot ticket. See Camping Rules for more info.

RENT AN RV WITH RVSHARE:
Don’t own an RV but want to spend Summer Camp in style? Rent an RV through RVshare and bring it (or have it delivered) to the festival. CLICK HERE to browse your options.
We do not allow generators in the general camping area due to risk of noxious fumes having the potential to cause harm to attendees in nearby tents.
For the GA & VIP Primitive RV area it is allowed as long as it’s not too loud, has proper exhaust, and is personal sized. It also must be in your allowed space, not placed next to any tents camping, and can’t be expending exhaust into a neighboring campsite. Cords must not be a trip hazard. It is incumbent upon the patron to make sure the generator is not a nuisance to their neighbors. If it is determined to be so the patrons will be asked to shut it down.
Porta potties never close. The bathroom & shower trailers close at 9pm in the general festival grounds, but bathrooms and shower trailers are open 24 hours in VIP for those campers with VIP credentials.

No worries! Camping is not required at Solshine Reverie. You may leave the festival at your leisure each night to stay somewhere else. There are plenty of hotels available in Peoria, IL located just about 15-20 minutes south of the festival.
We cannot guarantee that there will be space left available for your friends if they arrive at a later time. If you are in the general campgrounds you may save space but please be understanding to your neighbors and other festival attendees.
If you have an RV / Car Camping Spot, you will need to arrive at the same time as your friends if you want both vehicles next to each other. These spots cannot be saved.

Every band that plays at Solshine Reverie will play a general festival set open to every patron. Late night sets are IN ADDITION to all other sets, with the exception of special collaborative performances on occassion.
Yes, Red Barn Late Night shows require an extra ticket because the Barn just isn’t that big, and there are additional costs associated with producing the Late Night shows (paying artists, stage, sound, lights, security, etc.).
Since not all patrons can attend these events, we think it’s only fair that those that get to experience them pay the extra costs rather than make everyone pay for it, and only allow some people in. Check out our Late Night tickets page for more information on late nights.
Local noise ordinances require that the main stage music end at 2am all three days of the festival.
No. Solshine Reverie offers a variety of late night options with performances on multiple stages until 4am available to both general admission and VIP attendees.
