2024 RIVER REVIVAL INFO COMING SOON!

Check back soon for updates about this year’s River Revival Camping & Music Festival!

Splice Records & Saint Arnold Brewing Company bring you Texas’ most intimate and inclusive annual camping & music festival

River Revival, the annual camping and independent music festival collaboration between Splice Records and Saint Arnold Brewing Company, is the most accommodating and exciting festival in Texas history.

With pristine campgrounds, the mighty Guadalupe and live music from all over Texas, our goal is to be the most fun music festival that does almost everything different from other events. First off, each admission includes an all-inclusive ticket providing every attendee with the unique experience of not being continuously haggled by steep festival prices.

Meals and camping are all included in the ticket price and please feel free to bring your own cooler and camping supplies. With your admission we offer an impeccable food program, amazing music, live art installations and of course we have something most fest do not have... the mighty Guadalupe River.

“We want to honor the grounds, listen to music and respect one another while having one hell of a good time!”
- Splice Records CEO Shaun Brennan

WHERE IS RIVER REVIVAL

Once again we are partnering with our favorite campgrounds, KL Ranch Camp “on the River” and "Cliffside" in New Braunfels, Texas. River Revival is a great escape from city life as it stretches over 10+ acres across the entire river front property. The campsite price varies based on campsite amenities and location on the grounds.

KL On The River - The campsite address is: 5455 River Rd, New Braunfels, TX 78132 (Check-in for On The River passes and sites are located at this address)

KL Cliffside - 8001 River Rd. New Braunfels TX 78132 (Check-in for Cliffside passes and sites are located at this address)

 

WHO ATTENDS RIVER REVIVAL

Nature lovers, music goers, river-rats, camping enthusiasts, foodies and festival followers make up the campgrounds. We often hear back from our attendees that the campgrounds are filled with nice and very cool people. Families with children are more than welcome to attend (children age 12 or under are free and do not count toward package capacity).

If you choose to bring your child, we highly suggest you select a campsite between sites 70 to 60 On The River or Cliffside as it is the furthest from live entertainment at any hour. You will also be required to sign a personal responsibility waiver at check in.

WHEN IS RIVER REVIVAL

We annually schedule the festival on the last full weekend of September as the river’s peak season has ended and there are less people on the river. The nights are a tad bit cooler, allowing for good tent camping conditions and the river is ideal for when that Texas sun gets high in the sky. We also do our smaller, "half way to the Revival" event called River Retreat on the last full weekend of March. To learn more click Here.

Dates for the 2024 River Revival will be announced soon!

CAMPING INFORMATION

PLEASE READ THE INFORMATION BELOW CAREFULLY

  • NEW FOR THIS YEAR - River Revival is handling all of the RV and Camper rentals and providing onsite maintenance (9am-9pm)! In the past we allowed attendees to rent RV's and campers from Third Party vendors that would deliver the RV/Camper to KL Campgrounds ahead of the attendee. For myriad reasons, this has become an untenable arrangement and this change should make the entire experience easier. If you would like to RENT an RV/Camper for the festival and have it delivered and waiting for you, You MUST NOW USE our Glamping Experience Upgrade. Please select either the Glamping Experience ADD ON or the new Super Duper Glamping Experience ADD ON.

    NOTE: This policy change DOES NOT affect those attendees who own an RV/Camper and drive it onto the campgrounds themselves or who have rented and picked up an RV/Camper and drive it onto the campgrounds themselves.

    If you are bringing your own RV/Camper/Motorhome to River Revival please make sure you reserve a Group Package that has the proper 30/50 amp plugin options.

    ONLY ONE RV / CAMPER / MOTORHOME PER SITE

    Most RV sites have water but some do not and those sites are a bit smaller and cost less. All the RV sites have 30 Amp electrical plug-ins, most have water connections; 50 amp sites are also available but limited. Generators are NOT welcome and we ask that all RV/Campers do not run their generator for power. Please note that one can Reserve a 50 or 30 Amp RV site and choose not to bring or use an RV/Motorhome/Camper. You may simply pitch tents on the premium sites. Please read ALL descriptions.

  • You are welcome to setup as many tents as are necessary to accommodate your party.

    GA Passes on the River or Cliffside will offer communal camping on shared sites, so pack lightly as it is shared space and campsites. All sites even if specified with 30 or 50 amps can be suited for tent camping as well they just cost more due to upgraded amenities. And there is plenty of tent camping that can also be done at Cliffside and the price is right over there #ALWAYS #CLIFFSIDEISCOOL

  • Clean and well-maintained showers are available on site, but they do require quarters for operation. We will have numerous hand washing and hand sanitizer stations spread around the campgrounds, as well as portable bathrooms.

  • Everyone is encouraged to bring their own camping supplies (food, equipment, coolers, and beverages). Please feel free to cook on your campsite. The campgrounds have firewood and ice on-site for purchase. There is also a small store on both Campgrounds with various camping necessities should one forget or need something. You can even buy cold beverages at the Cliffside corner store. Stay Tuned for Fire Ban information provided by Comal County. Five of the seven years the fire ban was NOT in effect. Sorry, Campground rules, not ours.

  • Absolutely NO PETS ALLOWED. However, service animals are welcome, but please contact us in advance by emailing HERE.

  • If you would like to volunteer for a shift and get a free t shirt and 50% off your pass, CLICK HERE for more information. You will work 16-20 hours over the weekend and you will camp with all other volunteers.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Yes, you do not have to stay overnight. Your wristband allows you to leave the campgrounds and return. Please identify your wristband when you check back in at the box office.

  • Yes, feel free to bring your own beverages and food. The event is All-Inclusive, but you can bring your own supplies.

  • Yes, you can but, you must Reserve a campsite that has the proper plug for your camper/RV. Each site has different amenities so please read the descriptions.

  • No, we do not allow generators on the campsite because of the noise pollution.

  • Yes, but you must purchase an On The River SLEEPER/Parking Pass if you are planning on staying at KL On The River and sleeping in your vehicle. At Cliffside you do not have to buy a parking pass regardless of whether or not you’re sleeping in your car.

  • No, we no longer require everyone to check in at On The River. If you bought a site or a pass at Cliffside then you can check in at Cliffside. This is a new policy that will continue for the foreseeable future.

  • No, but you may contact the event first and request permission; attendees who are older or have an issue walking will likely be granted permission. Please feel free to bring your bike (w/ lights) or an electric bike.

  • Yes, there is. We have golf carts that are designed specifically for Cliffside pick up and drop off, and the campgrounds have van/shuttle pick up and drop off as well. Pick Up and Drop Off areas are clearly marked with signage on both campgrounds. Feel free to ask Bobby or Jennifer at Cliffside for a ride or updates on the shuttle.

Please note that if you are volunteering then we will account for your hours. If you do not fulfill your obligation, you will not be allowed to volunteer again.

  • You may have noticed that some campsites are not available for certain packages. This is because Splice Records started a Campsite Deed Program in 2021 that allows River Revival attendees (after the Revival) to reserve their campsite for the following year's events. For a small fee, you can own the "deed" to your campsite, which means the campsite is all yours for both River Retreat and River Revival the next year. So if you really enjoy where you're camping this year at the Revival only, then consider buying the "deed" to the campsite so that it is all yours in 2024.
