Summerland Festival: Cost Overview

The Summerland Festival: Offerings & Oracles, August 13-16, 2026

We’re excited to welcome you to Summerland 2026! This page lays out the various costs associated with festival attendance. All Summerland Festival attendees must have a valid registration. You’re also welcome to purchase a meal plan and/or cabin rental, but both are optional.

Registration, meal plan, and cabin/bunk space can all be purchased on site, but we strongly encourage pre-registration when possible. Not only does it help us to plan, but also both meal plan and cabin/bunk are subject to availability, and we’d hate to disappoint you!

If you do need to register on-site, be aware that wireless connectivity can be very sketchy at Camp Clifton — you may need to go stand out in the middle of the field across from the dining hall to make an online payment. We’ll always take cash, though!

Once you’ve reviewed the info here, if you’re ready:

Meal Plans

You are not required to purchase a meal plan (though our kitchen staff do a great job and we think you’ll enjoy the food!). For details on the meal plan, on the meals provided to all attendees, and on camp policies regarding individual cooking, please see our Festival Food page.

We encourage you to pre-register if you wish to purchase a meal plan, so we can plan accordingly. Meal plans may be purchased on-site if the kitchen manager determines we have sufficient supplies, but we can’t make any guarantees of on-site availability, especially for restricted diets.

You have a number of different possible sleeping arrangements, in addition to area hotels and motels. Details are available at our Lodging page, but here are the raw numbers:

  • Tent camping: free
  • Full-cabin rental: $125
  • Bunkhouse space: $25
  • Camper-trailer parking (no services): $25

Discounts

Despite a few moderate increases over the years to keep pace with our own costs, we believe that our festival pricing is fair and reasonable, allowing us to support the festival and our grove while also keeping as low a financial bar to entry as possible.

However, we know that for some folks these prices may not be possible, and we strongly believe that economic barriers to participation should be eliminated whenever possible. Previously, we’ve offered scholarships in exchange for work barter. This year, however, we’re trying something new: an open discount system where attendees can select the amount of discount they need in order to attend, and those with means to help others can contribute to our financial accessibility fund.
