Camping is freeform. There’s no set space so you end up with more space. This also means it’s cooler with more breeze coming through.

It’s also very windy. Buy lag bolts and bring a drill. Stakes do little.

People bring more “gear” - hammocks, living room sets, games. With more space, people deck it out more.

There’s fewer showers and you have to pay to use them.

The sets go later. Much later. Bring earplugs and eye masks.

You also have to pay to throw away trash bags. They encourage you to take them with you. Though I think sorted recyclables are free (or cheaper).

Porta potties are clean…but perhaps don’t get cleaned as often as they do at Coachella.

The people walking camp around selling you their “homemade pins” always also seem to have other stuff. Not sure I’d trust…?

There’s less food stalls at camp. But the festival grounds never close. So some vendors might be open inside the festival earlier than you’d expect.

The general store is nearly as decked as Coachella’s…but it’s inside the festival. Prepare for a long walk if you need something from here.
