ABOUT

Campout for the Cause is a grassroots Colorado music festival that began in 2009, blending live music, yoga, nature, community, and sustainability. Founded by Scotty Stoughton, it features conscious music, along with yoga, workshops, music education, and outdoor activities. The festival focuses on philanthropy, supporting environmental and social causes.

Originally taking place at State Bridge Lodge and Rancho Del Rio, the event has found a home in Salida, Colorado. It’s known for its intimate, family-friendly vibe and commitment to community and conscious living.

Unlike large-scale commercial festivals, Campout for the Cause has always aimed to be more intimate and intentional. Integrating the fabric of the community into all aspects of the gathering. Quality over quantity is a mantra and the festival is heralded for leaving their event spaces cleaner that they found them. Past performers have included names like Billy Strings, Elephant Revival, Fruition, Gregory Alan Isakov, The California Honeydrops, and more.
