CAMPING FOR EAUX CLAIRES MUSIC FESTIVAL

July 24th & 25th, 2026

The Pines Music Park (formally known as Whispering Pines Campground) located in Eau Claire, Wisconsin has partnered with the Eaux Claires Music Festival taking place at Carson Park on July 24th & 25th to provide a nearby camping experience that you know and love. Yes, we are the same campground that Eaux Claires used from 2015-2018…we just have a new name!

The Pines Music Park is located just 4 miles from the festival site at Carson Park. You will get to/from the festival via the campground shuttle included with your camp access pass.

Unreserved tent camping (available on a first come basis) is included with your camp access pass. Reserved Non-Electric and Electric Campsites available as an add-on for those bringing an RV, pull-behind, pop-up or any vehicle over 20′ long. Limited custom built, air conditioned tiny camping cabins and pre-set tent packages are also available.
