Camping
Located on the banks of the tumbling waters of the scenic Methow River, the Blues Ranch offers a perfect blend of convenience and natural beauty for festival-goers. With plenty of camping space right on the festival grounds, you’ll be steps away from the music and vibrant festival atmosphere. Just a scenic one-mile walk from the historic town of Winthrop, this is your ideal base for enjoying the festival and exploring the charm of the Methow Valley.
