The countdown is officially on! We are just hours away from the wild and wonderful weekend that is Mountain Music Festival 2025 at ACE Adventure Resort in the stunning New River Gorge. Whether you’re a seasoned MMFest veteran or a first-timer, we’ve got all the info you need to make your arrival smooth and your experience unforgettable. Here’s what you need to know before you hit the mountain:
🚗 ARRIVAL & TICKETS
The campground opens daily at 10:00 AM for new arrivals. Be sure to screenshot or download your e-ticket with QR code before arriving, as cell service can be spotty. If everyone in your vehicle has their ticket ready, our team can check you in without anyone leaving the car!
Need to purchase tickets or make changes? You’ll be directed to the Welcome Center for assistance.
🅿️ PARKING PASSES
Weekend passes include parking. You’ll get a parking pass upon check-in – just hang it from your rearview mirror. Single-day ticket holders will be directed to park at the bottom of the mountain and hop on the free festival shuttle to the main site.
🌄 EARLY ARRIVAL
Got an Early Arrival Pass? Great! Just be sure you also have a 2-Day Festival Ticket. Early arrival passes are per person, and you must arrive on your designated day.
🏕️ CAMPGROUND DETAILS
Camping is car camping, and spots are assigned in the order you arrive. If your crew wants to camp together, wait for your group at the bottom of the mountain before heading to the campground. Once parked, we suggest staying put to keep your space secure!
Looking for a quieter experience? Ask for Quiet/Family Camping in Upper Blackberry Campground when you arrive.
🚌 RIDE THE SHUTTLE
We’ve got free shuttles running 24/7 from Thursday at noon through Sunday at 9 AM. Look for the big blue buses at designated stops—or flag one down for a ride! If you’re staying in the Turkey Spur cabins, you’ll need to transfer at the Welcome Center.
