  • Frendly Gathering policy prohibits cruisers, scooters, ATVs, motorcycles, private golf carts or other motorized units.

  • No open fires are allowed at Sugarbush. Only contained barbecue and camping stoves will be permitted and must remain a minimum of 10’ from any vehicle or structure.

  • Fireworks, spotlights, laser pointers or other items deemed dangerous by Frendly Gathering to guests and staff are strictly prohibited and may be confiscated.

  • All internal and external sound systems must be maintained at a reasonable level.

  • Emergency Medical Services will be available onsite 24/7.

  • Port-O-Lets and trash barrels are located throughout the camping areas. Please leave them in the areas where they are placed. This allows The Frendly Gathering to service them more efficiently.

  • The weather in Vermont in June can be perfect blue skies highs in the 80’s with low’s in the 60’s, or it can dump rain. Please come prepared for endless sunshine and potential rainfall (this means rain tarps, rain boots and extra sets of clothes).

  • Illegal activities that violate the rules and policies of The Frendly Gathering are considered grounds for immediate removal from the premises. Tickets, passes and admissions may be confiscated and are non-refundable.

  • Most importantly, leave no trace! If you pack it in, pack it out!
