Best Campsite Award
Think Lean & Green

Long gone are the days when the biggest, most elaborate spread took the prize for the best campsite. The prize now goes to the campsite that most creatively takes up the smallest piece of real estate. So be thinking LEAN AND GREEN! Everyone who camps at Grey Fox is in the running. The award is selected by our lean, green Recycling Crew, who cover every inch of the Walsh Farm in search of that one, deserving "spatial triumph."

Congratulations to our
2010 Best Campsite Award Winner:
JOY HADAM
Pine Bush, NY

The 2009 winners of the Best Green Campsite Award were lean and green Deb Parker (New Baltimore, NY), and David High and Ralph Del Pozzo (Athens, NY), Jackie Keveson and Earl Thomasson. The entire five-person campsite was constructed of items purchased at thrift stores over the years, with a shower of flowers brought from home. Every nook and cranny was a visual delight -- from the beautiful little living area to the impressive tattoos adorning almost every inch of Ms. Parker! All this creativity in a very small amount of space! Congratulations. Click any photo in the slideshow to see it larger or click here for the gallery of all the photos of the winning campsite.


If you're camping on the Walsh Farm at our upcoming festival, say goodbye to big, sprawling fancy campsites and turn your home-sweet-home into an efficient, environmentally-compatible space. Think small. Think green. And YOU could win a pair of tickets to next year's festival.

The winner is announced on Saturday by our eco-friendly judges. The winner's name (and street location) will be posted at the Information Booth by 6:00 pm, and we'll announce the winner on stage during Saturday night's show.

So plan ahead, get creative and go green! Good luck!
