Our gates are opening soon, and we can’t wait to see you at Legend Valley for Lost Lands 2026! Below you will find some helpful instructions on how to get to your campsite and into the festival grounds.
- If you are arriving in a camping vehicle or have purchased a Weekend Parking pass: Directions to your campground have been sent to the purchaser of the camping pass from Front Gate Tickets. Please follow these instructions to your campground. You can also access these arrival instructions at lostlandsfestival.com/arrival
- If you are being dropped off by a ride, rideshare or shuttle, please follow the instructions here: lostlandsfestival.com/arrival/dropoff
The campgrounds open at 7 pm on Tuesday, September 15th and remain open throughout the weekend.
All campers have received specific arrival instructions for their campsite via email from Front Gate Tickets, which includes a driving map and step-by-step directions to your Lost Lands camping entrance. Once you arrive, our team will check you in and point you to your campsite!
We recommend bringing a collapsible wagon to help transport your camp essentials to your campsite if you’re not camping with a vehicle or being dropped off by a rideshare service or shuttle.
If you plan on bringing a vehicle into the campgrounds, make sure your camping pass either includes parking, or you have purchased the correct parking pass for your camping area. Note that there is no re-entry for any camping vehicles.

CAMPGROUND ALCOHOL POLICY
Each camper over 21 years old is allowed to bring either one case of up to 30 aluminum cans of beer 30 aluminum cans of hard seltzer, or one box/plastic container of wine. You cannot bring any liquor, glass bottles or kegs.
If security deems an excessive amount of alcohol is being brought into the campgrounds, they may confiscate the excess. If you plan to bring alcohol (a reasonable amount of beer or wine) into your campsite and have campers under the age of 21, you may only bring enough alcohol for those 21 and over.
Please do not put your alcohol into coolers before arriving as this will slow down your entry search.
Furnishing alcohol to minors is a FELONY. Local and state law enforcement will be present in the campgrounds. Please drink responsibly.
DO NOT TOUCH THE DINOS
For your safety, please do not touch or sit on the dinosaurs. Climbing, damaging, or physically interacting with the dinosaurs may result in being escorted out of the festival.
CAMPING AMENITIES
- Nests– On your map, look for the “Nest” closest to your campground. Camping Nests offer convenient amenities including restrooms, showers, medical services, and select general store essentials. Amenities and shower hours vary by Nest, with Nest 1 offering 24-hour showers.
- The Village Marketplace is the central hangout spot in the heart of the campgrounds. Eat, drink, shop, hit the Silent Disco, stop by the 360 Dome, attend a class in the Discovery Center, or just sit in the shade and chill!
- Lockers & Charging– This year we have 3 different locker locations, and each comes with a handy mobile charger. Reserve in advance or check the map to find them when you arrive.
- Lost & Found– The main Lost & Found will be located just outside the Festival Entrance next to the box office, open 24 hours per day until 2pm on Monday. You can pre-register your phone in advance, that way if you lose it we will have an easier time trying to get it back to you!
