How to Determine Express or Non-Express Camping
Do you have a ticket for everyone in your vehicle?
Do you have a Camping Ticket for each site you purchased?
If you need an Overnight Parking Pass, have you already purchased one?
If you answered "YES" to all of these questions, you may enter the Express Camping line!
If you answered "NO" to any of these questions, please follow the Non-Express Camping line which will take you to the Main Ticket Tent to make your necessary purchases. If you are a volunteer, you must use the Non-Express Camping line to stop at the Main Ticket Tent to register and receive your wristband.
Express and Non-Express Camping
Have everyone in your car fill out the back of their event ticket. Each ticket will be exchanged for an event wristband.
Fill out the back of the hanging Camping Ticket (name and cell phone number, if available) and hang the ticket from the rearview mirror with the back of the ticket facing out.
Upon entering the grounds, there will be a checkpoint to make sure everyone in your vehicle is wearing a wristband and that your Camping Ticket or Overnight Parking Pass is properly displayed hanging from your rearview mirror. Refer to the camping map and the sticker on your hanging Camping Ticket to locate what camping village you will be staying in.
When you have arrived at your camping village, refer to the sticker on your hanging Camping Ticket to locate your campsite. The letter corresponds to the row your site is located in. The number is your exact site location or address. For example: "Timbucktu C010" means your camping village is Timbucktu and your campsite is in Row C, space 010.
Once you have your camp set up, you MUST tag your tent/camper with the Camping Unit Pass you receive with your Camping Ticket. Only one Camping Unit Pass is needed per site. Please make sure that it can easily be seen by Lifest staff.
