Stargaze Festival

This annual event spans multiple days and nights, providing attendees with a full weekend of activities, entertainment, and, critically, on-site camping. While the grounds may host the event, the underlying infrastructure caters to both **primitive tent camping** and **RV accommodation**, making it a functional campground during the festival's operating window. The entire experience is set against a backdrop of **70+ acres of lush woodlands and riverfront beauty**, giving campers a picturesque setting that feels a world away from the daily grind.

As a major cultural event in the region, the Stargazer Festival draws attendees who seek a fun, social, and all-inclusive environment. It's a space designed for community building, allowing Ohio users to connect with like-minded individuals in a safe and celebratory outdoor setting. All festival attendees, including those who camp, must be **21 years of age or older** to comply with state law, ensuring a mature and focused environment for the featured cannabis and art celebration.

The official address for the festival grounds is **9978 OH-220, Waverly, OH 45690, USA**.

The location on State Route 220 makes it easily reachable from cities like Columbus, Cincinnati, and Dayton via major routes like US-23. Being near the town of Waverly and the scenic Scioto River adds to its appeal, placing it close to the natural beauty that defines this part of Ohio.

Accessibility on-site is designed to accommodate different camping preferences, though campers should be prepared for a **semi-primitive environment** typical of a large outdoor festival.
