Why RV Fleets for Bonnaroo?

Manchester, Tennessee has virtually no hotel infrastructure to support 80,000+ attendees. RV camping is not just an option at Bonnaroo—it's a core part of the experience. Beyond attendee camping, artists performing at the remote venue need quality accommodations, production crews need basecamp facilities, and sponsors need activation spaces. RV fleets solve these challenges while embracing the festival's camping culture.

Artist Village

Backstage artist accommodations ranging from star wagons for headliners to comfortable trailers for supporting acts. The artist village is a self-contained community requiring comprehensive fleet support.

Production Basecamp

The massive production operation requires mobile offices, crew rest facilities, catering staging, and technical support units spread across the 700-acre site.

Sponsor & Brand Areas
