Each year campsites at Lake Skinner for the Temecula Valley Balloon and Wine Festival sell out in less than an hour. This year “wannabe” campers have one of the best chances to get a coveted campsite during the Festival June 4-6. All reservations will be online at www.tvbwf.com beginning March 9, 2010.
“We wanted to make it easier for our guests to get their campsites rather than dialing frantically at 8 a.m. the morning the sites go on sale,” stated executive director Carol Popejoy.
The Festival has also customized the purchase by allowing Festival guests to choose from a variety of ticket packages including one day and three day passes. Tickets are not included with the campsite price and must be added to the reservation.
Campsites at Lake Skinner start at $80 for dry camping and range up to $200 for full hookup with power, water and sewer dump.
Campsites will only be available online and this is a change from the previous years.
“In the past campers would wait for the toll free phone lines to open and then frantically call getting busy signals and waiting for their turn. We sold out in 40 minutes,” Popejoy added.
Held at the Lake Skinner Recreation Area and surrounded by the Shipley Preserve, the Festival’s park setting provides natural vistas whether flying aboard a hot air balloon, or planted on terra firma. The three-day event includes morning hot air balloon launches, evening balloon glows, wine tasting from more than 20 wineries, concerts on two different stages, and a Sunday freestyle motocross show.
“ Photographers revel in the visuals from dawn balloon ascensions to the colorful evening balloon glows,” Popejoy added. “This makes camping during the event the extreme Festival experience.”
