To really see what the festival grounds look like choose AERIAL VIEW and zoom in. The middle building sits atop a large plateau and is actually a barn with three open sides. That would be the GroverFest stage. Camping is directly behind the stage to the left as you view the aerial map. The property boudaries are Sugar Hill Rd. and Vinewood Rd. The entrance to GroverFest is on Sugar Hill where the two roads intersect. Beautful isn't it?
