RVING AT THE EVENT

Lightning in a Bottle is very accommodating to RVs and offers multiple packages, including the option to have power hookups or no hookups. Read up on RV camping in California to become an expert before you leave. Here are some tips to keep in mind when RVing at the festival: • RV passes allow the ticket holder to bring their RV into the campground. • Long RV and Short RV options are sold depending on the total length of the vessel. • Festival wristbands are not included, so make sure you buy tickets separately. • 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. If you're planning to stay in California after the festival, visit some of the state's top landmarks.
