All campfires must be contained in a raised fire pit to ensure there is no burning or scorching of the grass or other vegetation. No fires are permitted outside of a raised firepit. No fire or ash may touch the ground at any point. Firewood will be available for purchase onsite.

Please do not bring firewood from outside the festival grounds. You will not be allowed to enter the festival with outside firewood. This is a hazard to the plants, insects, and animals indigenous to the area as it can introduce other pervasive organisms. Please help us do our part to Leave No Trace and purchase your firewood onsite.

All fires must be properly extinguished before you and your campmates call it a night.

Outside alcohol isn’t allowed on-site per Maryland alcohol control laws. However, we are making it easier than ever to enjoy having a drink at the Ramble with additional bar locations, an expanded selection of drink options (including microbrews, national beer brands, wine, cider, and cocktails), and we’ve made drinks available to take back to your camp with you as well. Underage drinking is strictly prohibited.

Please don’t bring them. The use or possession of any illegal drugs will not be tolerated anywhere at the Ramble Festival. Please do not bring any illegal substances to the Ramble Festival as violators may be subject to prosecution to the fullest extent of the law.

While we would love to have you and your furry (and sometimes no so furry) animal friends at the Ramble, we are unable to allow animals on Festival Grounds. Service Animals that are registered, wearing a marked Service Animal vest, fully trained, partnered with an individual with a disability, and perform specific trained task work to mitigate the disability of the individual will find our staff and attendees supportive of your team's presence and happy to have you both there.

Attendees with service animals must check in with Festival HQ upon arrival.

Anyone with a pet that is not a service animal that has been registered at the Festival office (located at the white house on-site) upon arrival will be asked to leave without a refund.
