PASSES and ACCOMODATIONS

Awakenus passes include primitive camping at Bohamia, a 268-acre camping and event venue surrounded by the Talladega National Forest in the foothills of the Appalachians. The property features hiking trails, a swimming pond, and an enchanting waterfall. A bathhouse with showers is located near RV sites, cabins and safari tents on the property. These are offered in the Add-Ons section.

Gate hours 2-8pm Thursday, Friday and Saturday. All pass holders must exit no later than 5pm on Sunday, April 19th.

Due to limited parking and focus on sustainability, carpooling is encouraged. A parking pass is required to park in the main lot with primitive camping. A vehicle camping pass may be purchased by those who wish to park beside their campsite and/or in their vehicles. A vehicle camping pass also allows access to a quietish camping area by the pond at Bohamia (~10-15 minute walk from other areas of the festival).
