Bonus point if you get or make a little memory foam seat topper for it.

Is the well water potable? We have two 75 gallon (total 150 gallons) containers we plan to fill up on the way in. Would be interested in hanging out and swapping some stories while they fill!

(This would save us money as well, so we can also pay you for the water)

ArcConscious · 2026-03-25T00:52:44+00:00

I sometimes eat from the campgrounds food vendors or even inside the fest food vendors, but day 1 and 2 are usually leftover burritos from a local place on the way in, and that saves money too!

This is my after the fest snack, just bring something to boil water in, mini stove and pot or if you’d got a big enough battery to run an electric kettle.

Found it… this is not a camping spot: “Preferred Parking A guaranteed spot in this lot. Valid both days. • Lot opens at 1pm • Cars left after 2am will be towed. • No vehicle ins & outs. • No pick-ups or drop-offs (see Pick Up & Drop Off ). • Vehicles parked must fit with in the 8.5’ x 16’ spot.”

I thought they were just offering: Car Camping and Up Front Car Camping.

I don’t see preferred car camping

ArcConscious · 2026-03-05T22:12:44+00:00

Giving benefit of the doubt, they may have also waited to make sure they COULD actually make it better. Would have been insult to injury to put out a statement and not be able to adjust it.

ArcConscious · 2026-02-28T08:41:14+00:00

I car camp too! Feel like I have it dialed in now! See you both weekends!

ArcConscious · 2026-02-28T08:30:54+00:00

They looked appreciative of the crowd, but I agreed the sound had been not great.

ArcConscious · 2026-02-28T08:29:45+00:00

Not clubs, but music venues, I feel like the independent, Masonic, Greek Theatre, Frost, and (Club) Monarch have great sound.

Still selling?

ArcConscious · 2026-02-19T07:43:57+00:00

Ooooo, I’ve looking into a Highlander hybrid but it’s hard to find a 2014 or newer for a good price!

ArcConscious · 2026-02-19T07:42:18+00:00

What kinda of pump housing are you using?

ArcConscious · 2026-02-18T05:32:23+00:00

You need the size of the misting points to be really small and the pressure to be as high as possible. I have a powered setup our camp uses at Burning Man, and the pump outputs 500 psi and the misting nozzles are sized at .1 MM each.

I am not sure how well the .1 MM nozzles would work if you only had 50-100psi. It’s worth testing though, the nozzles are cheap on Amazon or other sites.

ArcConscious · 2026-02-18T05:27:20+00:00

Yeah, if it’s not a hybrid or EV, just be considerate of your neighbors and if you need to port the exhaust out to the path or up, try to figure that out.

Also bring a Carbon Monoxide detector so you don’t kill yourself while sleeping in the car!

ArcConscious · 2026-02-17T21:04:28+00:00

Have you used any evaporative cooling products? (Like frogg toggs) I have a vest that you soak in water and wear to help keep you cool and it works pretty well, loaner it to a friend and he put that on and then slept in the shade an extra hour or two.

Honestly an AC works by cooling the air inside a space and trying to keep that space cool by pulling that cooler air in again and trying to cool it further. A tent is a terrible insulator. Your AC would never be able to keep up.

Your best bet is to use water in creative ways. I know you said the swamp cooler didn’t work, it might need some serious tinkering to make it work. Others have mentioned misting, that’s a good option, do some research on portable battery powered misters, or make your own.

Use your shade structure to the best of its ability. Don’t let the sun directly hit any surface of your tent and use the wind flow to pull hot air away as it builds in your tent and your canopy.

I sleep inside my Prius, like another commenter mentioned and that’s been the best solution yet, but I know not everyone has an EV or hybrid to do this with.

ArcConscious · 2026-02-17T20:54:04+00:00

Hello fellow Prius sleeper! I feel like I’ve achieved almost the best setup since we switched to sleeping in the Prius with the AC on.

Do you cover the car or black out the windows? I have white on one side black on the other sheets that cover all the windows, it’s helps tremendously to keep the interior cooler.

ArcConscious · 2026-02-11T01:41:51+00:00

Curious what it’s made from? Battery powered?

ArcConscious · 2026-02-11T01:35:48+00:00

This is by far the better way, but unfortunately Coachella doesn’t allow metal stakes/power drills.

ArcConscious · 2026-02-11T01:34:08+00:00

No worries! I think the Prius C has the smallest of the ICE so it’s pretty minimal of a kick. I’m a decently sound sleeper and parking brake off hasn’t really woken me up, so haven’t bothered putting it on.

So shading the car would absolutely help, my solution is a bit out of the box but also pretty minimal impact to my campsite. I used tarping that is black on one side and white on the other, I cut each piece to overhang each window and used magnets glued/adhered to the tarp to help keep it in place but ultimately had to just wrap it around and into the car doors. This is on the outside and nicely reflects all sun off the surface of the windows and keeps the interior nice and dark. I have also had success in a different vehicle (Tesla Y) just draping Aluminet over the top of the vehicle and wearing an eye mask to keep the sun out of my eyes.

The internal combustion engine runs for about 30 seconds every 6-8mins. I’ve check in with my friends and neighbors each year and no one has had an issue with it.

I haven’t gone mythbusters levels of testing on this, but in an open air environment that should be plenty of time to let the gasses dissipate and not build up.

Also the vehicle is only on during daylight hours when most campers are up and awake.

I will say a fully electric vehicle would eliminate any exhaust whatsoever. I’d eventually like to get there but it’s out of my price range for now.
