ABOUT
Ambient Camping
Ambient Camping is the premiere chillout camping series for Central Texans. Founded in 1995, it is the longest running event of its type. This community retreat offers attendees a myriad of musical and multimedia performances where the synthesis of mother nature and technology provide relaxation, rejuvenation, and a one of a kind experience.
The History of Ambient Camping
When the Reverend Kathy Russell hosted her first Ambient Campout in 1995, she hoped to bring people out of their hectic day-to-day lives and into nature to share an evening of phenomenal Downtempo Music among good friends under the stars. Since then, Ambient Camping has become the premiere chillout camping series for Central Texans. Many genuinely brilliant people have pitched their tents to join this community camping experience with their fellow Die-Hard-Chillers twice each year.
Ambient Camping provides people from all walks of life with a community retreat to the peaceful surroundings of nature for relaxation and rejuvenation in order to reach the transcendent state provoked by the coupling of music and the outdoor experience. This event offers attendees a myriad of musical and multimedia performances aimed to invigorate souls and promote positive trance states to improve and enhance lives. Ambient Camping is held during the year's most transformational seasons: spring and fall. After two decades, Ambient Camping has created an experience, and epitomized that special trait known as "Texas Friendly.”
