Great time always had by all! Wish they would take better care of their local live artists but still a good time.

This is the best place to go if you love country. It was my second year and I absolutely loved it.

It's a week long party that has some country music on some stages that a few people go watch. We have been there 3 years in a row and already paid for next year.

This is an awesome event. I want to try and come back every single year!

I went alone and was okay but I would recommend going with friends especially if ur going for the full time! Or even fir the day friends always make it better!

Country Thunder always a blast. Great lineup.hats off to those who put it all together the unrecognized stage hands, technicians, law enforcement, security. Without you guys Country Thunder couldn't happen.
Country Thunder the camp grounds are a special attraction it's like an event in itself definitely not for kids in many sites.kinda like the burning man of country is the best description I can give.red neck hedonism.
Definitely worth checking out the 1940s circus tent for some after hours shinanagins.lol country EDM is definitely something you have to hear once.

Best party in the nation 6 years running for us! Just wish you guys could get some better act. We spent more time in the campground than at the concerts this year by far. Also you shouldn't closeout Country Thunder with such a slow act. I understand how much people like Chris Stapleton, but come on Country Thunder he shouldn't be the last show on the last night. He's a second to last act on a Friday at best. Don't put me to sleep on Sunday, make me leave feeling like I had the best time of my life!

Always a great time! Today's hottest artists, with a few throwbacks sprinkled in and some new artists on the scene. Can't wait till next year!

I'm not at Country Thunder Arizona. I'm at Tree Town Music Festival. It's not Country Thunder Iowa until next year. Tree Town however is awesome!

I absolutely love this event, but for the past 3 years I've been getting crazy sick either while there or after (this time I have bronchitis) Be sure to bring hanker ships or some mouth covers because the amount of dust in the air at night is ridiculous. Their showers are great, always hot water and unlimited amount of water.

1st timer to Country Thunder and I had a blast! Very impressed with the way CT runs things. They definitely know what they are doing!

Great event to attend every year the only problem is it's getting too large and it takes a lot of time and preparation for you to get into the event and be prepared because if you leave could even take longer to get into the event usually have some good headliners especially on Thursday and Friday

Fun place to go! Just beware of bringing kids, because it is not kid-friendly, especially in the campgrounds. The festival portion is fun, but prepare to spend a lot of money when it comes to food! But CT is definitely worth it.

Huge Party! Awesome time! Gorgeous weather, beautiful girls, amazing performances! Be prepared to walk a lot and get drunk like never before.

Completely unorganized, logistically bad and and absolute nightmare of an event. Paid for reserved parking, no parking. Had to park in the normal area. Answer from the staff, oh well. No one organizing the lots. The lines are inefficient and lacking in organization. Roads are a joke getting in and out. Overall for a first time it was a horrible experience. I've never seen such lack of attention in security and poor crowd control. So understaffed and so expensive. We didn't even use our passes the next day because it was such a bad experience.

I can't rate it a zero or I would

Amazing as always. Got into our camp area very quickly upon arrival with no wait. Showers were very overused and dirty.

This review comes from the viewpoint of a previously non-country fan that has spent Wednesday through Monday at Country Thunder with family & friends for the first time.

The camping experience here is great and includes many attractions such as; stripper poles, slip-n-slides, whiskey & beer waterfalls and giant see-saws just to name a few. Most of the people are very friendly and in a happy, well inebriated state most of the time. The escape that Country Thunder offers goes beyond country music, it's stage shows or any of the attractions offered. If you allow it, Country Thunder will transform your time there into a time of excitement and enjoyment far beyond the daily grind that you're hoping to escape from.

The concerts we saw, (except for the Friday night Jason Aldean show) that suffered from some serious sound issues were top notch. Since I've never been a country music fan I was pleasantly surprised that I really enjoyed the Big & Rich, Toby Keith and Luke Brian shows as much as I did. I have always enjoyed live music, but the performances and content really kept us wanting more. The audience sang along as we listened to the country labeled content that in reality has more of a rock-n-roll content than most other music genres.

Even if you're not a country fan get an RV and reserve your spot with friends and family in the grass at Country Thunder. Of course you'll need to bring lots of your favorite beverages for yourself and others if you like to share because you'll have plenty of new friends to share it with while you're visiting other camps in the compound.

I'll close this review with the old tried and true phrase that has survived the ages; "You only live once. "

I went here for the Lights Fest that was held yesterday (April 28th). It was a great space for an event like this. Loved the Lights Fest. It is such a wonderful idea! The 2 downfalls were Porta Potty's for bathrooms. I mention this because some people would never use them, but there were plenty of them, they were very clean and in a couple of different areas there were portable sinks with paper towel/hand sanitizer/water, so this was a plus! Now this next part that I am going to mention was the worst! Leaving the event was ridiculous and terrible! It took 50 minutes to get out of the parking lot. Not fun at all. Esp.when you have over an hour drive back home. I would possibly go to this event again, but probably if it was being held at a different venue.
