2023 Trip Planning Guide

PRO TIP: Arrive EARLY!  The earlier you arrive the better camping placement you will have, and you will wait in far less traffic!  Remember, Thursday camping arrivals will get the best spots possible! So convince your friends to make it 4 days out at sea with us.

ENTERING DAY-TO-DAY

Campers: All guests with a festival and camping wristband will have access to the festival and campgrounds and may enter and exit as you please. For everyone's safety, vehicles are not allowed to leave the campgrounds until the festival is over. If you have an emergency, please find a camp staffer to help safely escort you out.

Festival Pass Only / Single Day Tickets: In an effort to ensure our patrons safety and efficiency of our entry operations, there is no daily in-and-out or re-entry permitted in the festival grounds without a camping wristband. Please pack accordingly and take advantage of our festival locker program, charging stations, and check out the marketplace to grab any essential you may have forgotten. If you have an emergency and need to leave but wish to come back, please speak with the box office staff and they will assist you. You will be subject to search at each of the entrance gates. See Allowable Items for information on bags and what you can bring inside the festival

Pool Party Guests: You will be allowed 1 re-entry during/after the pool party to go back to your hotel and change. Campers attending the pool party may come and go as they please between the campgrounds and the festival.
