Hi sorry I’m new here and if this gets posted in the wrong spot my bad! But I just have a quick question for camping. They send a ton of info about arriving on Thursday but I unfortunately can’t make it until Friday. Do we just show up to the camp ground and someone will be there to tell us how it all works? Also I’ll be bringing my 21 month old and is there an area specific I should try to set my tent up or since I’m arriving late is it just where ever I can squeeze in?
Thanks!!
Howdy!
Thursday would certainly be ideal but if you can’t arrive until Friday, no worries. If you have a pass, there’s space for you but the later you arrive the more creative you may need to be.
When you arrive on Friday, there’s a good chance you can pull right up to the campground, tell staff you are arriving late, and they should let you in to unload. This may vary depending on the campground - you didn’t mention which one you will be staying in.
If you were staying on onsite, when you first pull in it may not look like there are spaces available. Fear not, there definitely are. Park your car somewhere off the road and walk around with a tarp and simply ask around where you might be able to fit your setup. Most people are super friendly and will be able to point you to an empty space.
Once you find an appropriate area, spread your tarp out on the ground and unload your stuff and then head off to park where directed. Then it can come back to camp and set it all up.
If you let us know which campground you are going to camp in, we might be able to give you some more specific direction.
Oh good thanks! We are staying onsite so I guess the options are north or south.
North is all tent camping and is a little calmer in general. Perhaps a good spot for the young one. Maybe start there? South would be just fine too. Either way, just talk to folks once you get there, let them know you’re coming in late and you’ll find a good home (and potentially some new best friends!).
Do you know what time of day you’re planning on arriving?
My friend will be coming early on Friday. We unfortunately can’t get there until later but she’s going to try and set up our tent
Okay - that’s smart! FYI gates to enter festival grounds open at 10 so if your friend shows up right around then, it could be a little chaotic. They may park her at the farm and direct her to wait (just spitballing, I’ve not encountered this myself before). Don’t worry, it’ll work out even though it might seem stressful! Maybe have her bring a wagon if you have one to haul some essentials/tarps over to the campground if that happens. She’ll ultimately be able to bring her car in to unload though.
Great thanks for all the info. We can’t wait!
