FAQ's

Thanks to the support of the City of Wells, Nevada, our Humboldt Hideaway music festival will take place at Wells City Park, just off Interstate 80 at Exit 351.

Wells is located in northeastern Nevada, about 45 minutes east of Elko; an hour and 45 minutes south of Twin Falls, Idaho; and 2.5 hours west of Salt Lake City. 

It's an easy three-hour drive from Ogden and Provo, Utah; three hours from Idaho's Wood River Valley; just under 3.5 hours from Pocatello, Idaho; and just over 3.5 hours from Boise.

Wells is home to several nice RV parks and hotels, including a new Hampton Inn just off Interstate 80. 

If you're hoping to camp out, there are some beautiful campsites along the lower road to Angel Lake (just south of Wells), and at Tabor Creek north of town (although the road to those sites can get muddy in wet weather). 

Indoor lodging options in town are very limited, so we encourage you to book your stay as far in advance as possible. The next-closest alternatives are in Elko (about 45 minutes away) and West Wendover (about 50 minutes away).

Event camping is NOT allowed at Wells City Park.

For a list of hotels, RV parks and camping near by go here.

Lawn chairs, small shade umbrellas and refillable water bottles are all OK; outside food, beverage and disposable, single-use plastic water bottles are not.

Absolutely no outside alcohol is allowed, and firearms or weapons of any kind are strictly prohibited.

Anyone who violates our no-outside alcohol and no-weapons policies will be denied entry to Humboldt Hideaway, and they will not be eligible for refunds on ticket sales.

Absolutely! Admission is free to all kids ages six and under. Small children must be under parental supervision at all times.

In a word, unpredictable.

It can be windy, warm, mild, pleasant, sunny, drizzly, rainy or even chilly. But one thing it's unlikely to be is scorching hot – one of the single-biggest misconceptions about the weather and climate in northeastern Nevada.

Wells is located more than a mile above sea level (higher than downtown Denver), at about the same latitude as Cheyenne, Wyoming. It is typically milder here in late May than it is at lower elevations in Salt Lake City and Boise.

We love dogs — we’re partial to pit bulls — and welcome attendees who take good care of their canine companions. All dogs must be on leashes and under control at all times, and attendees must clean up after their pets.

We’re not big fans of rules and regulations, but Humboldt Hideaway aims to be 100 percent smoke-free. This includes cannabis and vaping products. We will have a small smoking section at least 50 feet outside the venue, so if you must smoke (you really shouldn't!), please light up there.

Yes! 

We'll be announcing our vendors in early March 2026. 

The application period for vendors will begin in early December 2025, so if you're interested in vending with us next year, keep an eye on our website for details.
