CAMP RECKONING
Camp Reckoning: A Mini Music Festival
Wilderness Adventure at Eagle Landing, near Roanoke, VA
MAY 15 - MAY 17 2026
🌟 We’ve got a full weekend of live music lined up, with The Dead Reckoning—an awesome Grateful Dead cover band—headlining the show. Expect plenty of dancing, sing-alongs, and that classic Dead vibe under the stars.
🏕️ Set on our stunning 500-acre property, Wilderness Adventure at Eagle Landing is the perfect laid-back outdoor space to enjoy live music in the mountains. You can camp out under the night sky or crash in one of our cabins—either way, you’ll wake up to birds, trees, and another day of good music, good food, and good people.
✨ Camp Reckoning isn’t only about the music. It’s also a chance to hang out with other fans, wander the woods, hit the trails, hop in a tube, play some disc golf, and enjoy the Blue Ridge Mountains in all their glory.
Grab your tent, your friends, and your love for great music. Between the Dead classics and the mountain setting, this little festival hits all the right notes.
