4270 River Road
4270 River Road in Rhinelander is the Hodag Country Festival grounds, open around the clock during the event for the thousands who camp on site with a nine-day ticket. Gates and campgrounds open at 6am on the festival's first Saturday, and the line for a spot forms days earlier under strict rules: no lining up before the Thursday six o'clock cutoff, and no glass anywhere on the grounds.
