Electric Daisy Carnival
If you love electronic music, Electric Daisy Carnival is a can't-miss event. Often called EDC for short, this music festival features some of the biggest EDM artists around. Situated on the Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Las Vegas, Nevada, EDC offers several exciting RV camping options. Skip the hassle of traveling in and out of the festival each day, and camp on-site in a comfortable RV instead. Staying in an RV during EDC puts you right at the center of the action so you never miss a sunrise party or a secret set.
ACTIVITIES & ENTERTAINMENT
EDC is one of the country’s largest and most popular music festivals, and attendees can do a lot more than listen to their favorite sounds. There are more than a dozen carnival rides to enjoy, and there are amazing art exhibits to visit. Some of these art exhibits are 3D superstructures that glow in the dark, while others enthrall visitors with dazzling laser light shows. EDC has music playing on 10 large sound stages, and it lasts until the early morning hours. If you feel like taking a break from the music, Downtown EDC is the place to head to. You could visit a theme bar that offers great food and live entertainment, or you could become part of the show at a Tokyo-style karaoke bar. There are even chapels in Downtown EDC where couples can get married.
ON-SITE AMENITIES
ATMs can be found in Downtown EDC and near all of the sound stages, and safety and medical teams are placed in key locations to provide assistance if needed. There are several information booths and a large lost and found office, as well as numerous battery charging and water refill stations. If you buy more swag than you can carry around and don’t fancy walking back to your RV, you can rent a locker.
LOCATION
EDC is held at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway at 7000 Las Vegas Boulevard N, Las Vegas, NV 89115. The Las Vegas Motor Speedway is about a 20-minute drive away from the Las Vegas Strip, and it's right across the road from the Nellis Dunes and Ice Age Fossils State Park. This is primarily a concourse for races, but during the festival, a team transforms it into a creative wonderland. The center of the raceway will hold multiple stages and art installations, and the RV camping area will include a variety of facilities and gathering places.

HOW TO GET THERE
If you stay at Camp EDC, you can walk to the event venue from your RV.

Shuttle buses run continuously, so there is no schedule. Outbound buses run from 6:30 p.m. to 11 p.m., while return buses go from 2 a.m. until the music ends. If you want to drive to the venue from the Las Vegas Strip, you will take Interstate 15 North to exit 54. This is the Speedway Boulevard and Hollywood Boulevard exit.
