Once you are parked in a camping area you may not move your vehicle for the duration of the festival. This is for your safety and the safety of your neighbors. However, if you need to leave early, please let security know, so they can help direct you out safely. Your car will NOT be admitted back in to the car camping area once it drives out. Given the configuration and the limitations of our site we need everyone to cooperate with the staff and park where directed and remain there. This is the only way that we can accommodate all ticket holders on the property. Please understand that when anyone disregards the parking and camping instructions it creates havoc that will ultimately impact everyone's comfort and safety.

It's really not all that complex. Just get to the event. There will be signs and/or you will be directed when you get there. We will try and post more details closer to the event but don't stress about it now.

Well you won't be able to park next to each other if you don't drive together. However when the later party(s) arrive they can just park where the next spot is and can still walk over to your spot. Probably best to plan meeting to arrive together as much as possible for your group. For tent only camping, same deal, you need to arrive together to assure being next to each other. The larger the group you are planning to camp with, the more you will have to plan for a larger number to get there at the same time. We're confident you'll figure out something that works best for your situation. There are NO guarantees you will be able to pull it off.

There will be camp counselors to help you if you get lost. But try to remember what area you are in, there will be multiple camping areas with big signs.

They generally are the ones who take care of the minor when the minors birth parents are: 1. no longer living 2. in jail 3. lost their legal parental rights.

Sure, as long as everyone has a festival pass you can have them come to your camping spot.

No. If you are car camping, you can sleep in your car, on your car, next to your car or other creative sleeping places as long as it's not against the rules and is within your allotted camping spot. You can not sleep in your car in any parking lots including the companion camping parking lot. If you are tent camping you can sleep on the ground in your spot without a tent if you really want to. DO NOT SLEEP IN THE FIRE LANES

A gas station is about 3.6 miles away at Monroe & HWY 111. Going down Monroe towards HWY 111 there is a drug store (closer than the gas station). There are several food places up and down along HWY 111.

Reasonable amount of beer (limited to 1 case of beer per person) (NO KEGS, NO GLASS, NO LIQUOR), for personal consumption only (NO VENDING), by folks who are of legal age (21), will be permitted to be brought onto the camping areas (not concert area). If, however, in the security's judgment it appears that the amount of alcohol is excessive for the number of persons in the vehicle, or if anyone in the vehicle is under 21 years of age, the organizers reserve the right to deny entry of the vehicle and/or confiscate the alcohol. Kegs may not be brought onto the property. Please keep these things in mind and be sensible about how much you plan to bring in. Beer will be available for purchase on the concert field. Yes, boxed wine is ok to bring, too.

There is a very limited amount of overnight Camping "companion parking" passes available for $25. Campers will only be allowed to purchase ONE additional companion parking pass (while supplies last) per camping pass purchased. This parking pass is for 1 extra car of people who are staying in your spot but need a place to park their car overnight. Companion parking will be adjacent to the campgrounds and may or may not (probably won't) be in close proximity to your camping spot. Once these run out, there are no alternative overnight onsite parking options available. FOR REALZ.
There are no car ins/outs in the companion Camping parking lot. If you decide to drive out you will forfeit your spot and be re-directed to the day parking lots which do not allow overnight parking and you could be towed. SO DON'T LEAVE UNTIL YOU ARE LEAVING FOR GOOD.
People are expected to plan ahead and please carpool. This pass is only available for purchase when buying your Car/Tent Camping Pass. Party.
WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE ALL COMPANION CAMPERS TO LOAD THEIR GEAR IN THE CAR THAT IS IN THE CAR CAMPING SPOT. (Trying to save you the long walk while dragging gear).
ALL VEHICLES WILL BE THOROUGHLY SEARCHED UPON ENTRY.

A legal guardian is a person who has the legal authority (and the corresponding duty) to care for the personal and property interests of another person, called a ward. Usually, a person has the status of guardian because the ward is incapable of caring for his or her own interests due to infancy, incapacity, or disability. Most countries and states have laws that provide that the parents of a minor child are the legal guardians of that child, and that the parents can designate who shall become the child's legal guardian in the event of death.
A legal guardianship is obtained through court order, and the legal process for doing so is initiated by the prospective guardian.

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.

Camping passes are non transferable by themselves. They will only work when scanned with the festival pass it was ordered with originally. If you bought multiple festival passes and one camping pass, the camping pass will only be valid with the first one from your group that arrives. This is to help thwart scalping of camping passes and making camping available to actual onsite campers.
