Car camping gives you vehicle access for gear storage and shade. Walk-in camping is closer to stages but limits what you can carry. RV camping offers comfort but books early and costs more. Know your festival's layout before choosing.
Put your tent in the shade if possible — morning sun turns tents into ovens. Face the door away from foot traffic. Keep a communal area with chairs and a canopy between tents. Mark your site with a flag or totem so you can find it at night.
Beyond your tent: ground tarp (under tent), battery-powered fan, earplugs for daytime sleep, headlamp (red mode), camp chairs, shade canopy, cooler with ice strategy (block ice lasts longer than cubes), and a small folding table.
Bring a sleeping pad — the ground gets cold at night even in summer. Eye mask and earplugs are non-negotiable. If you're a light sleeper, consider a white noise app on your phone. Set up your sleeping area before the festival starts.
Lock valuables in your car. Don't leave electronics visible in tents. Use a small combination lock on your tent zipper when you're at stages. Keep your phone, ID, and cash on your body.
