Another campsite update!

We’ve just had a full-service spot open up! It is now the lone empty spot - please share!

Still plenty of space for primitive camping.

We are on the cusp!

Up close music workshops with the pro's.
Just one way Pickin' On The Plains is unique. Join us next week!

From songwriting with country star Mo Pitney,
instrument pointers from Tim Stafford and Shawn Lane of Blue Highway, and band performance instruction from Seth Mulder & Midnight Run, these workshops are as good as they come!

All workshops are FREE with the price of a ticket, and will take place Saturday morning in the 4H building while no other shows or events are going on.
