Whether you are driving to the land or are taking the shuttle bus, upon arrival you will first park your car in the general parking area and then you'll walk over to the check-in station which will be under a canopy tent, also in the parking lot. There is where you will check-in with our rockstar team and will receive your bracelet + instructions on where your accommodations are.
There will be a courtesy shuttle for those of you that would like to have your belongings transported to the central area of the camp near the dining hall, which will make it easier to then walk over to your respective cabin/tent area.

SHOWERS Showers will be available on site.
CIGARETTES Cigarette butts cause fires and trash. Smoking is only allowed in designated areas. Always put your butts out and NEVER throw them on the ground. Let’s show this land how much we respect it!
CAMP STOVES AND GRILLS Enclosed propane grills are acceptable in the camping areas but NO open flame or charcoal grills will be allowed. Please use extreme caution and be responsible. Always make sure your stove is in an area that is clear of dry grass and brush, and never leave a stove unattended while it is burning. If you are using a camp stove, make sure you bring along a fire extinguisher and have it properly placed where everyone can access it.
CAMPFIRES Unfortunately due to the sensitivity of the land and the severity of flying embers we can not allow open fires anywhere at the festival, except in the existing fire pits. Never leave a fire unattended. Leaving a fire unattended at best, will result in losing fire privileges for your camp.
WASTE REDUCTION, RECYCLING & COMPOST (TRASH) Pack it in and pack it out. Please be sure to clean up your campsite thoroughly before departing the festival. Leave no trace! (if you bring it, take it with you when you leave). Keep It Clean! Our awesome Green Team will be available for questions and to help guide you to recycling areas. If you see a plastic wrapper or any other pieces of litter, help us keep this beautiful land clean! Pick it up and throw it out! We will be composting. Minimize your impact on the land by not bringing any unnecessary packaging or other waste onto the land.
MEDICAL We will have a medical team on site. Look for the medic sign and medic shirts. The infirmary is located in the back of the Health Center Building.
COMMUNICATION There is cell phone reception on site for most providers, but do yourself a favor and put it away. No cell phones in the ceremonial area.
FIRE SPINNING Permitted in designated areas only and with the permission of the fire crew. Please do not light up in the field, as there is dry grass that can easily catch fire. Check in with the fire safety coordinator
