No ground fires allowed.
All fires must be kept enclosed in off the ground containers, such as above ground fire pits, BBQ pits, metal barrels, chimineas, or liquid fueled heating.
Do not dump coals, embers, ash, or any fire remains on the ground or in dumpsters. Ash bins for dumping coals, embers, ash, and fire remains are located next to dumpsters throughout the campground.

PETS

Pets are not permitted on the festival grounds or campgrounds; however, service animals are not considered pets by the federal government and are welcome at The Texas Renaissance Festival.

Under the American Disabilities Act (ADA), a service animal is defined as a dog that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability. The task(s) performed by the dog must be directly related to the person's disability.

ADA is also clear that emotional support, therapy, comfort, or companion animals not considered service animals and are not permitted in the festival and campground.

Though we prefer that Service Dogs have proper identification (vest, documentation, etc.) when you bring them into the festival or campground gates, this is not required.
