RV Rentals at Outside Lands
Outside Lands is your ticket to three days of music, art, and cuisine. Each year, Outside Lands books some of the world's top performers and DJs for a thrilling party across multiple stages. Watch your favorite artists perform live, then check out one of the smaller clubs for snacks, cocktails, and private DJ sets.
This all-ages event doesn't have onsite camping, so you'll party during the day and travel back to your RV at night. Try different beers and cocktails, grab a bite from local restaurant vendors, watch artists paint graffiti, and make new friends at this cultural touchstone with viral-worthy performances.
ACTIVITIES & ENTERTAINMENT
Outside Lands offers a three-day lineup of famous bands, DJs, and musicians performing their most dance-worthy hits. General access tickets give you access to the main stages. If you check out the festival's exclusive clubs, you'll enjoy more performances and DJ sets, plus food, drinks, classes, and other amenities.

HOW TO GET THERE
If you're coming from the east, take 1-80 west down and across the Bay Bridge. Take the Ninth Street/Civic Center exit located off the right side of the freeway. Bear left onto Harrison Street and take a right on 9th Street all the way past Market Street to Hayes Street. Merge left onto Hayes, crossing Van Ness, to Gough Street. Take a left on Gough for a block, then make a right on Fell St. This leads all the way to the entrance to Golden Gate Park. The Panhandle is situated on the left. Bear to the left onto Kezar Drive, which merges with Lincoln Boulevard. This will bring you to the south border of Golden Gate Park.
From the north, cross the Golden Gate Bridge taking 101 south. Take 101 south across the Golden Gate Bridge taking 101 south. After passing, bear far to the right, and exit onto the one lane to Park Presidio Boulevard. Cross all the way through Golden Gate Park. You cannot make a left onto Martin Luther King Drive inside the south border of the Park; this means you will need to loop around by making a right onto Lincoln Boulevard (along the south border of the park), followed by an immediate left onto 20th Avenue, left at Irving, left at 19th Avenue. Continue into the park, and make an immediate right onto Martin Luther King, all the way toward 9th Avenue.
PARKING
The festival does not have a dedicated parking lot for cars or RVs. However, there is street parking available. If you want to park on the street, make sure to get to the festival early each day, or you may not find any spaces. Additionally, most street parking will only be able to accommodate RVs that can fit in normal-size spaces. Some nearby schools south of the event open their lots for parking at a cost, and you may also find locals advertising parking in their driveways.

TICKETS & PRICING
Tickets have not yet gone live. In previous years, Outside Lands has sold their tickets at box offices, so keep checking their website for prices and a list of locations. Once you pay, you'll receive a wristband that acts as your ticket.
Make sure you display your wristband during the entire festival. The material is waterproof, so you can wear it in the shower. Avoid cutting or damaging the wristband. If staff members find you without a wristband, they may ask you to leave.
WRAP UP
Outside Lands is San Francisco's biggest celebration. While you can't park overnight, you can stay at a hotel or RV park, then return for another day of music and entertainment. Follow Outside Lands on Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X, Facebook and YouTube to catch all the thrills.
