Dirt Rag Dirt Fest Pennsylvania 2020
Join us for our 10th year at one of the top-rated trail networks in Pennsylvania, the Allegrippis Trails, and celebrate mountain biking! Your registration gets you access to demos on the latest and greatest bike products, shuttle service, skills clinics, group rides, live music Friday and Saturday nights, kids rides, educational seminars, an evening movie at Susquehannock Campground, free digital subscription to Dirt Rag Magazine and more. In an effort to reduce our impact and provide you with a very cool drinking vessel we are offering commemorative SiliPints for pre-order at cost price! We will NOT have the plastic cups this year. Your Pennsylvania registration supports the Allegrippis Trail System. Every year, Dirt Fest donates a portion of its proceeds to the Friends of Raystown Lake, caretakers of the trails and bike park. The event has donated over $80K to the trails over the past eight years, which keeps them open and maintained. FAQs Camping: Early Arrival: Thursday, registration opens at 1:00 p.m. Arrival: Friday, registration opens at 11:00 a.m. Departure: Sunday by 5:00 p.m. If you are sleeping on the Susquehannock Penninsula camping area you must purchase onsite camping. This includes; sharing a tent with a friend, sleeping on a camp table, sleeping in a roof-top tent, using a hammock, etc. All on-site camping is communal camping, which means you will share a campsite with other campers. Be ready to make some new friends! Group Camping: You will be assigned a camping spot depending on the size of your group. We cannot guarantee all campers their own group site. Our goals are to have groups seven or larger have their own site, but there are times where we need to combine people and/or groups together. Please make sure your whole group uses the same name so no one gets mixed up or left out of the group. Enter the full group name and not just an acronym. If you do not enter a group name you will be put in individual camping. Individual Camping: If you don't have a group, that's okay! List yourself as Individual on the next page. You will share a campsite with other individual campers or be put in with a medium-large sized cam group. There are no specific site reservations at Susquehannock Campground. Once camping sells out, we will open a waitlist. If someone in your group didn't sign up in time, they can join the waitlist. Encourage your group to sign up ASAP! On-site camping sells out every year. We do not permit any RVs/ Sprinters/ pop-ups/ or pull-behind trailers in Susquehannock campsites during the festival. The length of any onsite parking vehicle must be less than a twenty-foot wheelbase. Example; short wheel-base sprinter 144 or pickup truck. Camping offsite: Places to book offsite, reservations have to be made separately: Seven Points Campground Pleasant Hills Campground Woodland Camping Resort Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Huntingdon Route 22/Raystown Lake Houseboat rental info is here. Houseboats are permitted to camp moor on the Susquehannock Penninsula, but you will need to park at the Marina. Trash: Please carry out your weekend trash to the dumpster on Susquehannock Road or at the Seven Points campground garbage drop-off. Parking & Shuttles: Parking passes are limited, we ask all onsite camp attendees who are purchasing a parking pass to please consider 2-3 persons per vehicle. If you are camping at Susquehannock and do not purchase a parking pass but bring a vehicle, you will need to park at the auxiliary lots at the top of Bakers Hollow Rd. or near the Seven Points Visitors Center. A temporary parking pass will be given for you to set up your tent, drop off your stuff; throw on your riding gear because there are some great trails on the ride back to camp. Those purchasing an event-only pass may long-term park for free at the Seven Points Visitors Center lot and either ride trails or take the shuttle bus to the Susquehannock Expo area. Shuttle service starts running on Friday at 11:00 a.m. Shuttle service will be running Friday-Sunday: Bike Shuttle Stops: Pick up at Visitors Center, top of Susquehannock Rd. and the turn-around lot about 0.5 miles from expo entrance People-only Shuttle Stops: Seven Points Ridge Campground – Visitors Center - Mushroom Parking Lot – Beach Lot – Meadow Campground - Top of Susquehannock Rd. and the turn-around lot about 0.5 miles from expo entrance Kids: Kids under the age of 16 are free to attend.
