 There are four camping options: 1) Bring your own tent; 2) Rent a Platform Tent or Cabin from us; 3) Car camping where you sleep in your vehicle (cars, SUV or Vans please).in the parking lot. 4) RV or pop up campers-in the parking lot. Each option requires a different ticket.

Platform tents are hard wood: bring bedding.

There are real bathrooms with plumbing at the central hub (all-gender), and an outdoor shower. (Bathing suit required-children present).  Bring a bathing suit if you want to use the shower.

On site bathrooms near tent areas are semi-outhouse: toilet, compost flush, outside sinks- single person usage.

• A flashlight! Some parts of the festival grounds are dark! Stages, vendor areas will be lit, but there are acres of hiking, etc.
• Everyone you know!
• Cash! Though most vendors accept cards, we love to keep the carny spirit alive with old school paper. Plus, you might want to tip performers or readers or donations.
• Comfy shoes – it’s very spread out.
• Your weird and/or relaxed and/or light up garb! Dancing garb, etc. Flow toys, etc. FIRE dancing is not permitted.
• Chair/blanket to rest your bones and listen to music-  LOTS of Music!!!
• Fanny Pack
• A drum to drum on at the drum circle  or other percussions, guitars, etc. for music jam.
• Shopping bag,
• Reusable cup, (water is available from a spigot at the camp sites) & other waste reduction items
• Light jacket
• Bug spray

There are group fires in each section. 

If you are bringing food please bring your own cooler. There also isn’t electricity at your tent site, except for vendors & certain tents/cabins.

  1. Tent ­– This is kind of the most important item on this list. You want something that is going to be large enough to comfortably fit at least 2 people with a bag each, but when broken down will fit into a checked bag. You also want something that is going to be really easy to set up and just as easy to take down. I recommend a pop-up tent  2-person tent with built-in LED lights for easy festival camping. It sets up in seconds and only takes a couple of minutes to put away. When broken down it fits into any suitcase and only weights a few pounds! (Tip: Buy a can of waterproofing/UV protectant spray to help give you extra protection against the elements.)
2. Air mattress/Sleeping pad – You need something more comfortable than the ground to sleep on. You also want something that is going to help raise you off of the ground in case water somehow gets inside your tent. Air mattresses are great for both of these. When I am camping solo, I use my self-inflating air mattress for backpacking. It’s super comfortable and I don’t need to pack an air pump at all, saving me both space and weight. REI has a large selection of air mattresses and pads at affordable prices. Platform tents are hard wood and air mattress is great for them.
Sleeping bag – You want to make sure you’re going to be warm on those cold nights. Look for a 4 season sleeping bag that is waterproof. There’s nothing worse than waking up inside a wet sleeping bag because your tent-mate spilled a bottle of water. Platform Tents are hard wood and an air mattress or cushioning is needed.
3. CHAIRS – You will need chairs to take to the concerts/music/performances/workshops. But you also need lounge chairs at your tent site.
4. Headlamp – Not only is a headlamp handy to help you navigate the dark paths hands-free after you get out of the festival, but you can also use it as a lantern. If you take a gallon of water and put a headlamp around it with the light facing the water, it will illuminate your entire tent.
5. Towel – Using a quick-drying microfiber towel, will help you save both space and weight over a traditional cotton towel.
6. Food – I always recommend taking fresh fruits and non-perishable foods like protein bars, WE HAVE VEGAN & VEGETARIAN FOOD VENDORS on the premises: bring Cash for these.
 7. Clothes: NJ can be cool at night during May. Pack a light sweat shirt in addition to Festival clothes. Don’t forget a bathing suit for our “outdoor” shower.

Always try to pack items that are multi-functional. When you can use something for more than one purpose, it helps you reduce the overall weight of your bag. Also, try to avoid packing unnecessary or duplicate items. Ask yourself, “Am I REALLY going to need this?”

7. Medicine:  Don’t forget your prescription medicines and other personal items.

8. WATER:  We have  water taps with with fresh well water available at each of the camps and workshop areas. Please bring a refillable bottle or jug.

9. Fanny Pack

 There are thousands of options to choose from, from the flatter, more discreet options, to bulkier, but roomier options

10. Cleansing Wipes

  We have an outdoor shower by the closed pool area: so bring a bathing suit-if you want to use the shower. Otherwise you may choose to use cleansing wipes Please bring only compostable wipes.

11. Comfy/Extra Pair Of Shoes (Especially If You’re Wearing Platforms)

While we all know beauty is pain, if you’re going to a festival, you definitely do not want to be in pain. Yes, platform shoes are all the rage this year, but they are terrible for your feet. One 12 hour day in those, and you are going to be an unhappy camper. You may want to opt for some chic light up, or glittery, sneakers. If you decide to wear platforms, at least maybe bring a change of shoes. There are plenty of light sneakers you can throw in your hydration pack. You can’t dance the night away if your feet are burnin’!

12. Hand Fans

No matter if the festival you are going to is inside or outside, its bound to get hot while you are dancing to drums and music. A hand fan will come in extremely handy to create some airflow in a hot dance area. They’re small enough to fit in a backpack or a fanny pack, and they’re fun to use! In our experience, people love being fanned when they’ve been dancing up a sweat. So, you may even make some friends.

13. Portable Charges and Cables & Flashlights

These are key! You and your squad should be having your phones on and with you at a festival.  Having a charged phone is a plus. Whether it is just to document the beautiful experience you are having, or you need to let someone know where you are; it’s comforting knowing your phone is on and charged. Lots of lights & flashlights. The main area is lit and last year our phones worked fine. However, many of the outer areas like the campground isn’t lit and does not have outlets. 

14. Earplugs & Eye Covers

 Investigate getting some earplugs. Earplugs are a great way to not wake up the next day with that classic ringing in your ears. Plus, they help prevent damage further down the line when you’re old!  Eye cover unless you WANT to wake up at the crack of dawn.

15. Some people bring a cart or bicycle.

We have full food service from breakfast to dessert. Vegan/ Vegetarian Food vendors and other healthy vendors. 

Campers may bring a Coleman-type camp stove on a picnic table or fire retardant surface. No LP gas, no other gas grills permitted.

There are fires for cooking (barbecue pits only)  NO open fires for cooking on the grounds. We ask that you remain meatless in your cooking – for the courtesy of others.  There are small group fire rings at each tribe (no other open bonfires permitted). We are carry-in, carry out, so please make plans.

Rain or shine, baby!  Bring a water proof poncho or jacket. Waterproof shoes, etc. We are protected, however, by trees and pavilions in certain areas.

You might have your picture taken and we might post it on our socials. If that’s a problem, tell someone. We are a non-profit that makes videos and brings the outside into nursing homes, YouTube, etc.  It’s almost impossible NOT to be filmed at some point during the weekend event.
