Camping
The majority of attendees at the Ichthus festival camp on our 111 acre Ichthus Farm. Though primitive in nature, camping on the farm is FREE with the purchase of a wristband (volunteer workers also included).

There is no need to register for basic camping. Simply bring your car, van, tent, RV or trailer and you will be guided to a site on arrival. We're not set up like a traditional campground with designated sites, concrete pads, etc. we have open fields where you will be allotted an appropriate amount of space based on the number of tents and vehicles you have.

Basic camping details:
• FREE access to two shower houses with hot water (22 individual shower stalls per building).

• Access to several spigots located throughout the campground; water is clean and drinkable.

• Portable restrooms located at multiple locations throughout the campground.

• No water or electric hookups.

• Ice available for sale on-site.

• Grills and raised, contained fire-pits are allowed, but no open flames or ground fires; grills and fire-pits must have lids and contain the fire up off the ground.

• No pets allowed due to safety concerns.

• All campers under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.

Handicapped Camping
For those with handicap needs, Ichthus does have a number of campsites located closer to the Main Stage viewing area for easier access to festival activities. A limited number of electrical sites are available on a first-come/first-serve basis.(see below for required application). All details listed above in the Camping section still apply.

Basic Handicapped Campsite - FREE

These sites must be reserved prior to the festival. You can simply add the item to your cart when purchasing wristbands in the online store or mention the item when ordering over the phone. In early June a car pass will be emailed to you, this will help our traffic workers direct you to the correct camping field.

Handicapped Campsite with Electric - $50

These sites may be reserved for those who have specific handicap needs requiring electrical usage. There are a very limited number of these sites and they are NOT for those who do not have need.

$50 is the cost for a full event stay. Applications may be printed below, filled out and returned to Ichthus for review. Payment must be remitted with application but will only be applied if application is approved.

If approved a receipt will be emailed to you. In early June a car pass will be emailed to you, this will help our traffic workers direct you to the correct camping field.

Tent Rental

Through a partnership with a local tent company we are able to offer tent rentals as an optional camping upgrade. These are large tents like you might see at a circus or wedding reception and they have walls but no floor. All rented tents are set up and taken down by the tent company, so no work for you.

Tent rental details:
- All tent rental prices include setup, tear down and tent walls. Dividing curtains are available for an additional fee.

- Tent sizes are based on the number of people that can comfortably sleep under the tent.

- An equal amount of open space for parking, cooking, play, etc. is allotted beside each tent. Example-A 20'x20' tent will have a 20'x20' open space beside it.

- All rented tents are placed together in a pre-determined camping field.

- Cooking is NOT permitted under rented tents.

- Tent walls easily clip on or off to accomodate for weather.

- Tables and chairs also available for rent.

- NO OTHER tent rental companies are permitted on the Ichthus property for tent setup other than our partner company.

Hotels
If your group isn't quite up to camping or dorm life, there are a number of other options within a short drive to the Festival.

Wilmore, KY (5-10 minute drive) - VERY limited options other than camping or campus housing. Check out this page on the City of Wilmore website for some small motel and Bed & Breakfast options.

Nicholasville, KY (15-20 minute drive) - A few hotel and B&B options. Check out this pageon the Nicholasville Tourism website.

Lexington, KY (20-40 minute drive) - Extensive hotel options. We suggest searching online through sites like hotels.com, expedia.com, priceline.cometc. Hotels located on the southwest side of the city will be closest; using the airport as a landmark should also return results in closer proximity. Using the festival address to search will also be helpful - 9520 Harrodsburg Rd, Wilmore, KY 40390.
