FAQs
You've asked, we've likely answered. And if not, email us at
crew@honchopgh.com
Is Campout accessible?
In general, tent camping and forested campgrounds are not accessible to people with limited mobility. Accessibility depends on the person's ability to navigate tent camping in a natural landscape with steep elevation changes and uneven surfaces such as gravel roads, forest paths, bridges, and watersheds.
If you have more specific accessibility questions, please reach out to us at crew@honchopgh.com – we're happy to help!
Is there a map?
Yes! The 2024 map is here.
ATM / Cash / RFID Payments?
Honcho Campout is completely cashless, utilizing an RFID wristband system for all official on-site purchases. You'll attach a credit or debit card once, and then pay per transaction. No more checking balances, no more requesting refunds. E-Z.
You can still do cash top-ups, but you
must do these at the Front Gate.
Our bars cannot accomodate this.
You will need $25 cash for parking ($10 dollars for re-entry each time), there are no ATMs on site. Make sure you handle that BEFORE you arrive at camp.
Check-in / Check-out times?

The front gate will be locked outside of gate hours, and you will not be permitted to enter or exit during this time. If you don't make the cut-off, you will have to sleep in your car at the front gate or find a nearby hotel. In case of an emergency, we will have a phone number posted.
Electricity?
Camp sites do not have electric. External batteries are highly recommended. Battery and solar powered devices are the way to go.
Gas powered generators are strictly prohibited and will be removed.
Power outlets for charging devices can be found at Pick-Me-Ups and at Camp Services near Hemlock Hole when needed.
If you have a medical device that requires electricity (such as a CPAP), please let the Front Gate know during check-in and they will assist.
Cars & Parking
Four Quarters is as automobile free as possible. Upon arrival only, you are allowed to drive into camp to unload.
DO NOT begin setup until you have returned your car to the parking lot
. Drop your stuff where you'll camp, return your car, walk back to camp, and
then
begin your campsite setup. Be considerate, unload quickly, and then immediately move your car to parking so you do not create traffic jams.
Parking is $25 per vehicle,
cash only
.
Re-entry is a $10 cash fee
if you need to make a run to town
(during gate hours only)
. Car camping is only allowed in the parking area, which is far from the action. We suggest against this.
How do I find a ride to camp?
As in previous years, we have a self-serve
ride-share spreadsheet
that you can use to help you find a ride or offer up an empty seat. Share space, share costs!
We also offer seats for sale on shuttle buses from Pittsburgh and NYC. All proceeds from bus tickets go directly to support the Queer Fam Fund. Hit the "Tickets" section on the left website navigation to see prices, schedules, and to purchase a ticket.
Where can we camp?
Almost anywhere, first come first served. We have primary camping spots marked on our Campout map, which you'll get a copy of at check-in.
The only place where camping is prohibited is on the Great Meadow in New Camp.
You are allowed to camp along the trees around the perimeter.
Can we bring pets?
Sorry, Four Quarters Farm has a strict no pets policy.
Can we use speaker systems?
No. Renegade sound systems and DJ setups are strictly prohibited. Your neighbors may be hanging at their camp to get a moment of peace or catching up on sleep. Everyone operates on different schedules, so let's be courteous to others around us. Secondly, we've put a lot of love and intention into our programming, and we want to give the artists on our lineup the spotlight they deserve. Let's keep the raging to the stages.
Drinking water?
Four Quarters water is fed by a spring. Tested weekly, it has been given the highest purity rating by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Bring a reusable water bottle / or jug to refill at the many drinking water spigots around camp and help us cut down on plastic waste.
How do we cook food?
You are allowed to cook at your campsites over a bonfire, but you
MUST
pick up a free loaner ring from Pick-Me-Ups or Camper Services. Open bonfires are unsafe, and prohibited. You must purchase firewood from these same locations to use in your fire rings. Please do not bring any external firewood on site, as it can carry invasive species.
Four Quarters does not provide grills. Small camping stoves or grills are permitted, and are the easiest solution!
Where do we get ice?
You'll be able to purchase ice from Pick-Me-Ups!, as well as both bars at Hemlock Hole & The Grove.
Can we build a small fire?
Yes, but you
MUST
pick up a free loaner ring from Pick-Me-Ups or Camper Services. Open bonfires are unsafe, and prohibited. You must purchase firewood from these same locations to use in your fire rings. Please do not bring any external firewood on site, as it can carry invasive species.
Where does trash go?
Four Quarters is a leave no trace venue. Waste bins will be placed throughout camp – please use them. Our Site Maintenance volunteers will be servicing the bins. There will also be a large dumpster accessible for use upon arrival/departure. All attendees are responsible for their trash. Please keep your camp clean. This includes cigarette butts. Please have a baggie or small container with you at all times to put them in.

Nearby Hotels?
The nearest hotels can be found in Hancock, MD (closest, but few options), Cumberland, MD and our old favorite, Breezewood, PA. But you should really stay on site. :)
Refunds?
We’re bummed that you won’t be able to join us, however, all sales are final. With that said, our ticketing platform, TIXR has resale capabilities built in.
RE-SALE TIP: Do not wait until just weeks away from the festival and expect someone to buy your tickets.
Campout is an intense week that requires a lot of planning and preparations. It's unlikely that you will be matched with a buyer that last minute, so if you think you won't make it, sell your ticket early. We cannot help you if you cannot find a buyer.
How do I change the name on a ticket?
At this point, we have now switched to a manual changes system. You must do this yourself by logging into your TIXR account. Read more on all of this by CLICKING HERE.
