ARRIVING AT LOST LANDS

Each campground, parking lot, and drop-off location will have different arrival instructions. It’s important that you follow your group’s specific driving directions and walking paths to get into the festival as efficiently as possible.

In the weeks leading up to the festival, arrival instructions and driving directions will be emailed to ticket holders and posted on Lost Lands social media accounts. Stay tuned!

LEAVING LOST LANDS

Look for specific exit instructions for your campground or parking lot to be sent via the Lost Lands Festival App push notification and posted on social media toward the end of the festival.

For safety reasons, it is advised that you do not leave the campgrounds in your car at night. If you do, please go slowly, stay on the roads and use extreme caution when backing out and navigating around other people’s campsites.

Note that there is no re-entry for any camping vehicles. If you drive out of the campgrounds and try to drive back in during the festival, you will be directed to purchase a parking pass and park in the South Parking Lot.

WATER

We will have free water refill stations all over the venue and campgrounds. Please bring reusable water bottles or hydration packs.

SHOWERS

We will have showers all across the campground Nests. There will be a small fee to shower except in Jurassic Glamping. VIPs can also shower for free all festival long.

DO NOT TOUCH THE DINOSAURS

The Dinosaurs at Lost Lands have traveled millions of years into the future to be here. Please treat them with respect! While there are a few dinosaurs with saddles for sitting on with assistance from the Lost Lands team; touching, damaging, or physically interacting with all other dinosaurs in any way will result in being immediately escorted out of the festival.

FOOD

We respect the diet choices of Herbivores, Carnivores, and Omnivores. There will be delicious vegan, non-vegan, and gluten-free options available.

MERCH

On the way into the festival, you will pass through the official merch booth for Lost Lands and Excision. We will also have creative craft vendors from around the country in the campgrounds.

ENVIRONMENT

We are beyond lucky to have such a beautiful venue in Legend Valley. In accordance with the Sacred Code of Lost Lands, “Leave No Trace,” we must all work together to minimize our impact on these grounds throughout the weekend.

Environmental Tips:

• Bring plenty of trash bags for your campground
• Always have two trash bags out, one for recycling and one for landfill
• Avoid excess disposable plastic like cases of water bottles
• Remove packaging from your camping gear before you leave for the festival
• Clean up after yourself before leaving your spot

For our part, we will have garbage bins all over the venue, including recycling bins in key areas. Please refer to the signage and be conscious of where you place your trash.

HARM REDUCTION

Medical staff will be available 24 hours a day to help in any situation, and they will not incriminate anyone. Do not hesitate to visit medical tents or reach out to any staff member or security member.

If you ever need help in a non-emergency scenario or if you need to report something at the event, we operate a 24-hour Patron Response Center that will dispatch the appropriate teams to assist you. You can reach them anytime during the event by emailing [email protected] or direct messaging Lost Lands on Instagram.

Remember to drink plenty of water throughout the weekend! Being active in the hot sun means paying extra attention to staying hydrated, nourished, and well-rested.
