Watershed Festival — George, Washington (August 4-6)
Did you get the gag? This town named in honor of our first president is a small spot that becomes a really big deal in the first part of August. That’s because thousands of people descend for this camping and country music extravaganza that sees some of Country’s biggest acts like Keith Urban, Luke Bryan, and Carly Pearce.
RV camping is abundant at Watershed Festival and many of the spots are big rig friendly. This is also one of the rare festivals that features full-hookup RV spots right on the festival grounds.
But no matter where you park your camper at this fest, you’ll be guaranteed to keep the hangout rolling long after the last notes have strummed.

Outside Lands — San Francisco, California (August 11-13)
Let’s state the obvious first — because this festival is hosted right in Golden Gate Park, you won’t be able to camp right at the concert itself. But, the SF area has so many solid RV camping options and this festival is just so cool that we had to mention it.
The San Francisco RV Resort is one of many examples of campgrounds that’ll put you in range of this festival.
Now that we’ve covered that — Outside Lands is an annual extravaganza that brings together music, food, and art in the heart of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. This festival showcases a diverse range of genres, including indie, rock, hip-hop, and electronic music.

Catskill Mountain Jubilee — East Durham, New York (August 10-12th)
With 30 musical acts ranging from reggae, Grateful Dead, rock & roll, bluegrass, and funk, The Catskill Mountain Jubilee is one of the most eclectic music festivals we’ve ever heard of. The festival is hosted at Blackthorne Resort — a massive spot that features scads of RV spots, a swimming pool, and even a haunted house.
RV camping at this jubilee is the way to go because you’ll be able to come back to home-like amenities and keep the gathering going after the show. This festival is also one of the few out there that’s hosted at a locale where partial hookup (electric and water + on-site dump station) RV spots are the name of the game.
