We have an exciting announcement.... This year there will be more camp sites available at the festival site!!! Camping/Lodging: There is free camping around the festival site and this year, that area will be vastly expanded!  Units with generators will now have a larger area where noise won't be a factor and there will be more space for all size of campers and tents.  However, keep in mind that there are no electrical hook-ups anywhere on the festival grounds.   Camping is also available at the Arnold State Recreational Area located 1/2 mile south of Arnold on Highway 40. The 40-acre state park has picnic tables, grills, 20 electrical camper hook-ups, outdoor privies and a playground. The park can hold up to 60 camper units and offers a 5-acre lake for boating and fishing. All vehicles must have State Park permits and state law prohits alcoholic beverages at the park! The Winfield Inn & Suites, a new motel right in Arnold, is also now open.  However, at this time there are no rooms available there.  Please call them at 308-848-2462 if you want on their cancellation list.  You can also check on available lodging in Broken Bow, Gothenburg or North Platte, all about 35-40 minutes from Arnold.  Food and refreshments:  Beer and food provided by an assortment of great vendors are available at the field.  Please remember that no alcoholic beverages are allowed to pass the gate and because of the liquor license we cannot allow coolers on the field. And, because we don't want anyone getting hurt, we ask that no glass containers of any sort are on the field.   ID must be presented in order to get a 21+ wristband and buy beer!  If camping, you are welcome to bring along your own food and beverages as long as nothing comes onto the field. And, keep in mind that there are several restaurants in Arnold, as well as a grocery store and convenience store.
