Camping with the Blues was envisioned by Greg Herndon, a former member of the Sertoma Youth Ranch Board of Directors, to create a blues music festival at this amazing venue to help fund and keep operational this campground for our youth to enjoy.

Set in the rolling hills of Florida, Camping with the Blues is an annual blues music event which benefits the beautiful and rustic Florida Sand Music Ranch and will be held Friday thru Sunday, October 20-22, 2023, at the Florida Sand Ranch, 85 Myers Road, Brooksville, FL 34602.  

This is an incredible three day and three-night camping festival located just off I-75 at Exit 293.  Not a camper?  No problem.  Day and weekend passes are available.

The Annual Blues Bash at the Ranch will be March 15-17, 2024. Tickets and camping are on sale beginning April 1, 2023!  Join us in the spring for this great festival at the ranch with a stellar lineup each day.
