Tennis shoes are a must! There can be a considerable amount of walking done at Artist Ride, but it is well worth it. Bring your FitBit too if you’re looking to add steps to your monthly count.
Many artists and models camp right on site at Artist Ride. RV’s, campers, pickups and horse trailers are welcome. Please note that there are no hookups, but generators are permissible.
If you are camping the usual camping gear might include: Tent, sleeping bags, matches, camp chairs, cooler, flashlight or lantern, and an appreciation for watching the stars dance.
The temperatures can get fairly warm sometimes in August which means three things; 1). no humidity, 2). no mosquitoes, (although you might bring some bug spray along just in case), and 3). bring sunscreen!
The Cook Shack provides food and beverage options during the day including breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Hamburgers, hot dogs, biscuits and gravy, breakfast burritos are just a few of the options. Each evening there will be a group meal where everyone can get together, eat, visit, and relax. It’s a wonderful time to go over the days activities
