RHYTHMS ON THE RIO 2025 TICKET INFORMATION:

Children 12 and under are FREE - but still REQUIRE A TICKET!

Youths 13 - 17 require a YOUTH TICKET.

NOTE: 3-Day Festival Passes DO NOT INCLUDE CAMPING

At Rhythms on the Rio, we have always been proud to offer camping included in all festival passes.  That is a tradition we have stuck with for 17 years.  But recent changes to the Colorado State and County requirements for lodging tax (yes, your tent for the weekend is considered lodging!) have forced us to adapt our ticketing policies in 2025.

• Changes to lodging tax regulations are forcing us to re-organize the way we offer camping passes.
• Camping passes will be sold separately and are required for all individuals (13+) camping at the festival.
• Youth (13 -17) camping passes will be offered at a reduced rate (12 and under are FREE).
• Not camping at the festival? No camping pass needed!
• 20X20 SPACE IS INCLUDED FOR CAR & TENT CAMPING.

We are offering a first-time Group Camp option and a designated Family Camp.

FAMILY CAMPING PASSES:

• Add this to your order to camp in the Family Camping Area.
• Quiet hours daily will be from stop of music on the mainstage to 7am the next morning.
• There is no charge for family camping, but a ticket is required for all adults (18+).
• Car/tent camping only.
• Limited amount available!

GROUP CAMPING

• Very Limited Opportunity!

RV/Trailer Camper Info

RV/Trailer passes are in limited supply. 

You must also purchase a festival pass AND a camping pass for each person attending the festival.

Only one RV/Trailer pass required for each vehicle meeting the requirements.

Vehicles with ANYTHING in tow, and ALL vehicles over 20' will require an additional camping pass.

• These are in addition to the general camping pass that ALL camping attendees (13+) must purchase.
• ALL bumper-pull campers will need to disconnect from their tow vehicle.
• All sites are Primitive Camping.  No water, no electricity.
• ALL CAMPERS INCLUDED IN AN RV CAMPING PASS MUST ARRIVE TOGETHER IN THE SAME VEHICLE AT THE SAME TIME - NO EXCEPTIONS.

Please be prepared to purchase the appropriate camping pass tier based on your vehicle configuration.

Tier 1: 20' - 30' Vehicles or vehicles with ANYTHING in tow (up to 30')

If you are towing a camper and the combined camper/vehicle length is less than 20', you may camp in the general campground (but you MUST purchase this ticket).

Tier 2: 30' - 40' Vehicles/RVs/bumper-pull campers

40’ maximum total length for towed camper or RV. The tow vehicle and camper must disconnect and park side to side. No companion vehicles.

Tier 3: 40' - 50' Vehicles/RVs/bumper-pull campers

50’ maximum length for a towed camper or any RV. Tow vehicles and large bumper pull or goosenecks will have to be disconnected and parked side by side. No companion vehicles.

CAR CAMPING

You will be able to camp with your car.

There will be designated car camping areas for vehicles under 20’ and tents. 

Because of the limitations of the terrain, we will need camping sites to be contained within a 20x20 space. 

WE CANNOT SAVE SPACES FOR YOUR FRIENDS WHO ARE SHOWING UP AT A LATER TIME.  Sorry, but we will be filling spaces based on the time of arrival.

WALK-IN CAMPING

There will be camping available in the wooded areas on the festival grounds. You will be able to unload close to the walk-in area, and then park your car nearby where you will have access to it all weekend.

(Camping in the trees is a risk and that risk is accepted by the attendee. South Fork Music Association or the property owner will not be held responsible for damages while camping in the trees.)

🚗 PARKING

Parking for vehicles not wanting to camp is included in the festival pass in a designated area.

Produced by the South Fork Music Association, proceeds are used for children's music programs with funding having been provided to 11 School Districts & music programs in the San Luis Valley. We were especially proud to help in funding the renewed Sangre De Cristo School District music program and the Alamosa Live Music Association's school program. Combining Music, Yoga, family fun & camping on site with affordable pricing make this a true Colorado festival. 

PLEASE BE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HELPING YOU ARE VOLUNTEERS AND ARE HELPING TO KEEP THE COSTS DOWN FOR THIS WONDERFUL FESTIVAL.  THEY ARE FOLLOWING THE RULES SET BY SOUTH FORK MUSIC ASSOCIATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND WANT TO HELP START YOU OFF ON YOUR BEST FEST EXPERIENCE.
