Can you live on a campsite?

Oregon Jamboree
Taking place in the small town of Sweet Home, Oregon, the Jamboree is the Northwest’s premier country music event. The three-day festival features top country artists and up-and-coming talent and also hosts RV and tent camping, food booths, beer & wine gardens and other activities.


Last year, Cole Swindell and Koe Wetzel headlined the event, which has been around for over 25 years. Other performers included Runaway June, Dylan Scott, The Cadillac Three, and Neal McCoy. The lineup for 2025 has yet to be announced, but you can expect an incredible show from some of the biggest names in country music.

The event is held on a large site, so it’s best to bring plenty of comfortable footwear and sun protection. A shuttle bus will be available to transport guests between the RV and tent areas of the event.

Sunriver Music Festival
The Sunriver Music Festival fills Central Oregon with world-class music in August 2024. Artistic Director & Conductor Brett Mitchell leads world-class orchestra musicians and acclaimed soloists in four classical concerts, one pops concert, a brilliant solo violin recital and a family-friendly “Discover the Symphony” concert. The season opens at the Tower Theatre in downtown Bend and ends at Sunriver Resort’s historic Great Hall.

GRAMMY-nominated pianist Joyce Yang dazzles with her virtuosity and lyricism. She has won many prestigious international competitions, including the silver medal at the 12th Van Cliburn Piano Competition.

Be sure to bring comfortable shoes and a hat, as you’ll be walking a lot. Pack a water bottle and sunscreen, and download the festival app to keep up with updates. It’s best to arrive early each day, as parking can fill up fast.

Northwest String Summit
Twenty years ago, a small group of bluegrass bands started a special festival in Eugene. The festival was called Northwest String Summit and it grew to become a staple for families who created and shared joy with this close-knit community.
