NO VEHICLE?

  • After being dropped off by a Bus.com shuttle or a rideshare, you will walk with your belongings toward the “Day Entrance” for a security search and proper scanning validation of your festival wristband.
  • You must have both your Close Car Camping wristband and your festival wristband.
  • You will then proceed on foot to the Close Car Camping area. See the walking map here.

PRO TIPS:

  • Arrive Early
  • On the day of your arrival, we highly recommend getting here as early as possible so that you have plenty of time to get through security, get settled at your campsite, and get ready for music and activities in the afternoon and evening.
  • Tuesday evening, Wednesday, and Thursday Early Entry passes are still available online and at the Box Office if you want to attend! Get Early Entry
  • Got a big group? All cars camping together must arrive together!
  • When you get into the toll lanes, you may not all be directed into the same lane. Don’t sweat it, there is a Waiting For Friends Lot after security where cars can wait to regroup with the rest of the crew that arrived together.
  • Need to hit the Box Office?
  • If almost everyone in the car needs the Box Office, pull over to the right when you arrive. You can park, handle your business, get back in your car and then go through the security lane right next to the Box Office.
  • However, if only one or two people in the car need the Box Office, they can jump out and handle their business while the rest of the car queues up in the search lanes. If the car makes it through before they are done at the Box Office, they can go through the pedestrian search lane next to the box office and meet the car in the Waiting For Friends Lot.
  • Check the Camping Packing List
  • Find it here!
  • Each year the weather at Legend Valley is different. Pack for all weather, and remember that days can be hot and nights can be cold. Lost Lands will happen rain or shine, so be prepared!
