ARRIVE
CAMPING
'Car-camping' is extremely limited and non-existant around RVs. If you wish to sleep in your car, you may do so wherever it is parked. Cars and RVs will not park next to each other. Large camps are encouraged to set up in walk in camping as the space is wide open and expansive. Wheelbarrows and push carts may be helpful and paths have been identified.
THE VENUE
The site is expansive and striking; jagged peaks encircle a 188 square mile lake in the arid high desert. The natural environment provides no shade so be sure to bring plenty of shade for your camp. Temperatures can range from 60-90 in the daytime and 30-60 at night. Bring plenty of layers but also sunscreen as the lake reflects the sunlight and can be unsuspectingly taxing. Wind may be significant. Make sure to bring gear to secure your tents and shaded areas. Elevation is over 3000 feet. Staying hydrated is very important!
WATER
Bring plenty of water!!! Water will be available onsite for $1 for up to a gallon. Bring your own containers or purchase one of our stainless steel containers and get complimentary water all weekend. 16 food vendors will be serving all sorts of yummy organic goodness for omnivores and herbivores. Restrooms and limited showers will be provided.
FESTIVAL GROUNDS
The foliage is sagebrush and can be quite prickly. The ground varies from open and sandy fields, to rocky, to fields of large boulders and is home to lizards, rabbits, rodents, bobcats, snakes, coyotes, pelicans, falcons, and all sorts of insects and other living beings. Be mindful and do no harm.
The entrance road splits the grounds into northern and southern regions. The north will be the site of car parking, four music stages, food vendors, Sagebrush City and Eclipse Terrace. The southern side is expansive, has a much sandier soil, very little vegetation and is home to Satya Yuga workshop area, yoga, hula, and dance workshops, Kid-Biosis, ancestral arts area, our central fire, and the village by the lake.
TRIBAL USE PERMIT
All cars must purchase a tribal use permit to park on the reservation. They are available online and in stores for $40 and will be available onsite for $60.
CAR CAMPING
You may sleep in your car wherever it is parked. Tent camping somewhat near your car is possible but limited in Sagebrush City.
RVs & TRAILERS
All oversize vehicles and trailers require a RV pass. We have sold out of our pre-sale passes. Space is limited. Carpooling is fantastic.

Once banded you will be directed towards the festival location. At the gate, be prepared to park and exit your car so our security can check for glass bottles, stowaways, and contraband. Glass bottles are not allowed and carry a $100 fine from tribal police.
