Summer isn’t over just yet! Claude VonStroke and the Dirtybird team bring you the annual Dirtybird Campout! Inspired by Claude’s childhood experience at summer camp and his love for music, bringing one of the most unique festival experiences around. Dirtybird fans flock to central California for 3 days and 4 nights full of shenanigans and groovy beats. The immersive experience starts on Thursday with early arrival. Kicking it off with a pajama party hosted by Claude VonStroke and continuing with the never-ending renegade sets brought to you by your fellow campers. The Venue sits on a large lake where all campers can take a dip to cool down, relax or do a boat rental.

The early birds can catch some morning beats and a wake and bake sesh at the newest addition, the Ganja Garden. For those looking for a different experience, in a secluded area of the lake lies an alcohol and tobacco free oasis. This is the first year Dirty Bird has an onsite dispensary that has everything you need for your legal consumption from flower to edibles and accessories, it was a big hit!

You can’t have summer camp without a little friendly competition! Head over to Games HQ and choose your team color! The Field games start at 12pm each day, play the games or cheer your chosen team on to the Iron Bird where the best two teams go head-to-head to claim the championship on the last day! Dirtybird Artists also participate alongside the campers in the activities, which is fun to see a real sense of comradery amongst those involved. There is always something going on in the festival grounds, sign up for the talent show, a pie eating contest, find your true love on the Love Birds Dating Show and so much more at Claude’s Cabin. You can also explore your creative side at Craftopia! Here you can find DIY projects from tie dye, totem crafting, friendship bracelets and a camp salon. If you receive patches from your fellow campers or camp counselors you can iron them on here as well.

Dirtybird Campout has two stages, the Birdhouse playing all house and techno. Then the Bass Lodge which has a mix of bass, drum and bass and more. Claude VonStroke played a total of 6 sets but his alter ego Barclay Crenshaw at the Bass Lodge was one you can’t miss! Along with unique activities this festival has to offer, their VIP experience better known as VIB (Very Important Bird) includes its own chill area backstage and full access to being on stage with the Artist. There is also a side stage called The Hideout which hosts music until sunrise and to wrap it all up a Family Set on Sunday where all the Artists go back-to-back. Dirtybird Campout really brings out your inner child, a chance to disconnect from the 9-5 and enjoy the summer camp vibes!
