HOOSAC VALLEY CAMPING AND SHOW SHERPA CAMPING OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE HERE

MASS MoCA has once again teamed up with the City of North Adams to provide Solid Ground – a field for camping within easy walking distance (.7 miles; a 12 minute walk) from the festival and museum, and convenient to downtown merchants, bars and restaurants. This is a basic, open-field tent site with concession food service (serving attractively priced fresh-cooked fare including full breakfasts, late night fare, and vegetarian offerings), porta-potties, drinking water, and pay-per use showers. A self-monitored, donation-based cell phone changing station will be available. A basketball court and recreation field are nearby.

A second field, at Hoosac Valley Regional High School, is also available for camping and is located just under 8 miles from the festival and museum. This is also a basic, open field tent site with a concession stand serving fresh-cooked “camp fare” food (including breakfasts, late-night snacks, and simple vegetarian offerings). Buy Hoosac Valley camping here.

Free and frequent shuttle service will be provided to/from both campsites for the duration of the festival.
