From the camping website

"All camping attendees MUST be 18 years of age or older & have a valid I.D. or be accompanied by parent or legal guardian. Sorry NO exceptions."

Trying to get your post count up I see. Go dance off a cliff.

[baily]

bring an ID or get some consent form stating the other party member is the legal guardian.

or borrow a friends ID.

not really. i've been around the board since like 2007. i could give a shit about my post count.

No, you need a COURT ORDER stating the person is the LEGAL GUARDIAN, not a temporary guardian, or a notarized letter, or a fancy letter on pretty paper. In other words, it is highly unlikely you can do so legally without more effort than its worth.

I see onsite camping is 18 + over unless with parent or Legal Guardian. What is legal guardianship? / How do I become the guardian for a child in juvenile court?

What is legal guardianship?
Legal guardianship is a court order that says someone who is not the child's parent is in charge of taking care of the child.

How do I become the guardian for a child in juvenile court?
Think about the responsibilities you will have. If you decide to be a guardian, talk to the social worker or probation officer in charge.

Or write a letter to the juvenile court judge. The letter should say:

Your name and address,
Your relationship with the child,
How long you have known the child, and
Why you want to be the child's guardian.


If the judge chooses you as guardian, you'll get a copy of the court order after the hearing.

I wouldn't trip. Last year they didn't check any of our IDs and we had a bunch of booze too. I was 21 then but I still even get carded for cigarettes. And you could just go in separately too. You can literally walk in from where the stages are into the camping area. You dont get any special wristband or anything as a camper.

hmmm, I wonder how strict GV is going to be about the 18+ rule this year considering all the heat that has been coming down on event producers in regards to underage patrons. OD much?

[BeaverCat]

^ I'd say spot checking at best.

a legal guardian entitles far more than one person being over 18. nice try, though.

here we go again...

Every year I see this question. The answer is simple:

Unless you look like youre 12, they dont check anyones ID, EVER. Ive camped with multiple under age people. So dont worry about it... at all.

And look if they do check just jump the fence somewhere, I used to do this every year with about 200lbs of beer and liquor before car camping so im sure you can do it empty handed.

jankypirate indeed.
