RV tips for Coachella week:

• Bring an empty, non-metal water bottle for the free refill stations.

• Plan your ride back. Line shuttles stop outbound service one hour after the music ends, and the rideshare lot closes at 3 a.m.

• Want the rig waiting for you? Many RV owners on RVshare offer delivery to campgrounds and events, and each listing shows its delivery fees and distance limits.

WHERE TO STAY

Want a hotel room for part of your crew? Coachella sells 2027 Hotel Packages that bundle hotels with passes. Its FAQ also points festivalgoers to Valley Music Travel and to on-site Safari Lodging. For more ideas around the valley, see our Palm Springs local guide.

HOW TO GET THERE

From Palm Springs International Airport (PSP), the Empire Polo Club is about 24 miles away, roughly 36 minutes without festival traffic. Take I-10 East toward Indio, then follow festival signs and staff to your lot. Coachella warns of big delays for drivers who ignore signage, and it urges you to carpool. Prefer not to drive? Coachella calls a shuttle the easiest and fastest way in and out.

PARKING

General parking details for 2027 haven't been announced yet. In 2026, preferred parking opened at 11 a.m., with no entry after 10 p.m., and cars had to leave by 2 a.m. Vehicles in festival lots can be no larger than 8.5 feet wide by 16 feet long, so RVs, trailers, and large vans can't park. Leave your RV at the resort and come in by car, shuttle, or rideshare.

TICKETS & PRICING

Advance Coachella passes for 2027 are sold out. Join the official waitlist or use AXS Official Resale rather than unofficial resellers. In the advance sale, general admission started at $599 for Weekend 1 and $549 for Weekend 2, and VIP started at $1,299 and $1,249, as Pollstar reported.

WRAP UP

Coachella packs two weekends of music, art, and desert nights into the Empire Polo Club. Since RVs can't stay on site, a nearby RV resort gives you your own space, A/C, and shower a short ride from the gates.
