🏕 CAMPING INFO
⛺ CAMPING AREAS
We have two camping zones for you to choose from:
Camping Area 1 (Near the Village Stage)
• Closest to parking, the vendor market, and our Village Stage
• Great for those who want to stay near the action and amenities
• New this year: The Village Stage and Wellness Stage have merged into one Super Stage with programming all day—flowing into a dance party until 1AM
⚠️ Note: While we do our best to direct sound away from camping, we cannot guarantee a perfectly quiet experience in this zone
Forest Camping
• A 5–15 minute walk into the woods
• Rustic, beautiful sites tucked away in nature
• Amazing spots the farther you go inland
• Trolleys available to help carry your gear deeper into the forest
• Some areas offer relatively quiet camping—just be mindful of your distance from the two main stages
🌲 Find your forest sanctuary—adventure awaits!
🔇 QUIET CAMPSITE HOURS
• Quiet camping hours begin at 11PM
• No amplified sound or renegade stages allowed
• The Main Stage at the Beach will keep going late on Friday and Saturday — but please be mindful and respectful in camping zones, especially around families and little ones
