Q&A
| Question: |
We have a pop-up camper, about 10' long. We're going to get VIP passes - does VIP tent camping cover our pop-up? |
| Answer: |
Yes! The VIP weekend pass covers all campers that measure 20 feet or less when set up. |

| Question: |
I bought a general admission 3 day pass. Does this include camping with a camper less than 20 feet and will not require electricity? |
| Answer: |
General admission tickets do not include camping. A camping pass is sold on-site at the festival. Camping passes cost $30 per vehicle. Meaning if you arrive in a car by yourself it will cost $30 ... but if you and two friends arrive in a car it will cost $10 per person ($10x3=$30). Campers measuring 20 feet or less do not have to pay for an RV pass. RV passes are required for all campers measuring more than 20 feet. Thanks! |
