New this year, Campout for the Cause has partnered with Colorado’s Coletrain Music Academy to bring in professional instructors for on-site music education. Festival-goers of all skill levels can participate in group jams, lessons, and collaborative sessions designed to foster camaraderie and creative exploration.
“Campout was created along the Colorado River following the destructive fire at State Bridge Lodge,” says Scotty Stoughton, founder of Bonfire Entertainment. “From the ashes grew Campout For The Cause—a home to play music, camp, share stories, and gather around the campfire.”
Hutchinson Ranch, located in the historic mountain town of Salida, offers a picturesque setting at the base of the majestic Sawatch Range. “Our new home feels like a long-lost outpost on our journey West,” notes Stoughton. “The seven-generation Hutchinson Ranch needs our help to keep their open spaces open, as Salida’s strong agricultural roots are being challenged by development.”
Campout for the Cause was originally founded in 2009 in part to support The Central America Foundation, and over the years has contributed to several charitable causes including All Hands And Hearts, Emmy’s Friends, Protect our Rivers, and other local nonprofits. In 2025, the festival’s beneficiaries will include:

Guidestone Colorado (https://guidestonecolorado.org/)
Children's Discovery Ranch (https://childrensdiscoveryranch.com/)
COTBDAA (https://coloradoticks.org/)
Bonfire Entertainment, the team behind WinterWonderGrass, BajaWonderGrass, and RiverWonderGrass, is excited to rekindle the spirit of Campout for the Cause, reminding attendees that life is too often busy and hurried. The gathering aims to inspire reflection, conversation, and camaraderie under Colorado’s star-filled skies.
Tickets are on sale now and may be purchased HERE. Capacity is limited to preserve the unique, close-knit ambiance of Campout for the Cause.
