RVING AT THE EVENT

Lightning in a Bottle is very accommodating to RVs and offers two packages, including the option to have power hookups or no hookups. Here are some great tips to keep in mind when RVing at the festival:

• RV Passes allow the ticket-holder to bring their RV into the campground

• Long or Short options are sold depending on the total length of the vessel

• Festival wristbands are not included and a 4-or 5-Day Pass must be purchased for access to the event

• RV passes are sold per vehicle, not per person

• The best chance for you and your RVing friends to camp together is to arrive at the same time. That way you dramatically increase your chances of being allocated a spot next to one another (otherwise, it’s on a first-come-first-served basis)

• Each RV site measures approximately 20’ wide x 40’ deep and features an asphalt ground

WHERE TO STAY

RV Camping

Whether you own your RV or use anRV rental, RVing is the way to go at Lightning in a Bottle. After a long day of music, workshops, and whatever else takes your fancy, you can come back to a comfortable bed, stocked kitchen, and your very own bathroom!

On-Site Camping

The festival also encourages camping on-site in a tent, so you’ll find lots of options available to you. Whether you prefer to camp in, or next to your car, or choose one of the festival’s more luxurious camping options, such as staying at their Boutique Camp, there’s something for everyone. The Boutique Camp offers three packages containing everything from double beds and fresh linens, to complimentary ice and even your own personal AC unit!

Off-Site Accommodation

If camping simply isn’t your thing, then there are also options to stay in nearby hotels or Airbnbs. While these will mean traveling to and from the event each day, getting away from the crowds may make it worth it for some.
