Urban Camp Weekend Summer Fest 2025

 

Welcome to the new and revamped Urban Camp Weekend: UCW Summer Fest! This year, we’re bringing an exciting lineup of activities and events that will make your experience unforgettable. Get ready to savor a diverse array of flavors at our food truck festival, laugh until your sides hurt at our comedy show—where the winner will take home exciting prizes—and engage in meaningful discussions during our mental health panels. Stay active with our invigorating fitness activations and join us in celebrating Juneteenth with special events that honor this important day. Plus, there’s so much more in store!

While we’ve added new experiences, you can still enjoy the same activities and feel-good environment that have made Urban Camp Weekend a favorite for so many.

Picture you and your friends at a house party or BBQ—now add a tent, some games, food, a DJ, surprise events, additional outdoor recreational activities, and an OPEN BAR, and you’ve envisioned the best festival experience yet. Early sign-up and arrival are strongly encouraged. Due to capacity limitations, prices will increase periodically, so we recommend paying early and arriving on Thursday. See you in June!

Tickets can only be purchased ahead of the event. The event sells out in advance, so please do not show up expecting to buy a ticket on-site (you will be turned around). In addition, guests without the appropriate wristbands will be escorted off the campground, and not allowed to re-enter. IF YOUR WRISTBAND BREAKS, BRING IT TO THE REGISTRATION BOOTH TO BE REPLACED OR BE ASKED TO LEAVE. EVERYONE HAS TO WEAR THEIR WRISTBANDS ALL WEEKEND. (If you can’t “find” it, you’ll need to purchase another one)

Yes, there are several companies that will deliver an RV to camp for you, and set it up. They typically cost +$100 a night to rent.

RV renting tips:

Here are a few of our favorite rental companies (let them know you’ll need a generator and have them fill it with water; we have extra water available for you!):

Triple W Rentals (locally owned)
RVShare
OutDoorsy
RVezy
GoRVRentals
Your RV reservation is NOT complete until you email info@urbaneventsglobal.com your:
1. RV size (i.e. 36.5 ft)
2. Amp (i.e. 50 amp or 30 amp unless you’re boondocking and using a generator)
3. Estimated arrival date and time (*Thursday Arrival is highly recommended)
4. Rental Company information & Reservation #

*We recommend your RV arrival for Thursday. We won’t charge you extra to have it dropped off early, however, YOU must purchase a Thursday ticket if YOU decide to show up early.

As a reminder, dry camping/boondocking rv’s and 5th wheels will need to provide their own generators and have their water tanks full on delivery.

Steps to renting an RV with Urban Camp Weekend
Purchase an RV space on the website (main area or further away in the overflow area)
Purchase a UCW general admission ticket on UCW’s website (per person)
Rent an RV thru a selected company or bring your own RV
Email info@urbaneventsglobal.com RV details as listed above
The person renting the RV must be on site to receive it and do the walk-thru; Urban Camp Weekend will not accept the liability.
(this information is needed 6 weeks before the event)

There are no refunds. Tickets (general admission) are transferable to other people, other Urban Camp Weekend events, or Urban Events Global events. Transfers and name changes are $65 per ticket. The deadline for all transfers is 45 days before the event. If you purchase/sell a ticket, it’s your responsibility to make sure the $65 fee has been paid, and the ticket is actually transferable. Ticket holders from 2020 (COVID) need to show proof of emailing us to transfer their ticket(s) before they can use or sell their ticket. If not, it will be viewed as a no-show, as both 2020 events took place.

RV’s, previously transferred and/or discounted tickets are non-transferable to other events or people. If you originally bought a transferred ticket, special promo ticket, or won a free ticket, it is non-refundable or transferable to another event or person. Tickets purchased on payment plans that aren’t complete, can not be transferred.

Tents are set up on a first come first serve basis anywhere that’s not already roped off specifically by UCW. Well over 94% of our guests will be pitching a tent, so the earlier you arrive, the better.

Yes, it’s mother nature, and this is a camping trip. We can not control mother nature. We suggest you dress and pack accordingly.

Registration times are very important. Our registration on Thursday and Friday ENDS at 7:00 PM. Any cars showing up later than those times may have to wait until the next day. In other words, showing up at midnight to 3am in the morning no longer works.

When you pull into the campground, staff will direct you where to park. You will NOT be able to drive to your spot and unload this year, due to the number of campers. Cars that are not properly parked will be towed at the owner’s expense. ONLY THURSDAY ARRIVALS WILL BE ABLE TO “BRIEFLY” UNLOAD NEAR THEIR ACTUAL CAMPING SPOT.

Yes (but contact us first; additional charges will apply) Each guest staying in the RV must be registered and purchase a general admission ticket. We have dry camping /boondocking, and limited 30 amp and 50 amp campsites with electricity, water and dumping supplied for the RV or 5th wheel pop-up camper. Again, an RV reservation is for the RV only; each individual must purchase a ticket. Also note, the RV hookups currently on sale are for dry camping/boondocking unless otherwise noted. These RV’s will need to have their water tanks full and be prepared to use their own generator.

Yes, there will be armed security on the premises at all times.

No. There’s really no need to call the campsite either; simply purchase a ticket online or reach out to us. Tickets can ONLY be purchased at www.ready2xscape.com.com. We don’t sell on any other platform like Eventbrite, Ticket Master, etc…

Thanks. We’re open to giving artists, bands, etc an opportunity to showcase their talent at Urban Camp Weekend. UCW has sold out every camp since its inception. With that being said, we’re not looking to bring on (pay high amounts of money) acts that quite frankly won’t add much in value to the overall event. If we say “no thank you,” don’t take it personally. It’s a business/event decision; our campers enjoy the authentic ambiance of UCW without the pomp and circumstance.
