First and foremost you NEED a canopy tent like this. Whether you are camping in your own tent, a car, or a tent that the festival already has for you, I strongly recommend a 10x10 pop up tent. The shade is so important and these ones are easy to put ...

A tarp or two is another absolute MUST! Plan to spread this out on the ground and build your tent over it in case it rains. It will help keep the water from coming in from around/under your tent.

A little table like this is a great add to your camping area. Your campsite is your home base and it’s nice to have a table to use throughout the festival! This one is small so it’s easy to pack but definitely was beneficial to have.

I prefer a cot much more than an air mattress for music fest camping! When your on your feet dancing and walking all day, it’s nice to come back to an actual mini bed over a half inflated air mattress. Of all the items we’ve invested in for camping f...

Zip ties are crucial for a camping festival!! Not only did I use them to attach tapestries and bags to the pop up tent, but when my fiancé and I also had car troubles they came in handy. We keep them in the car always now!

A generator is absolutely expensive but really did come in handy after investing in one a couple years ago. It’s nice just to be able to charge up phones, watches and fans and not have to worry about them throughout the festival.

Fans are so so important at a camping fest! I like to bring multiple different kinds in case they break while I’m at the festival. I have this exact kind and I’ve used it for multiple events!

I always go buy 1 or 2 of these rugs before a camping festival, they’re a nice add for right in front of your tent! The grass can be wet or super dry and pokey and this helps make your camping home base feel a bit more homey!

Little fuzzy blankets are great to bring to a camping festival. They’re easy to carry around at night if it gets cold and they don’t take up too much space when packing. Target always has cute ones like this!

You have to have some coolers when camping whether for a festival or not! These are a good affordable option. I love the one with the handle because it’s easy to transport. Life hack - make sure your food is in one cooler, and your drinks are in anot...

A mallet helps make the tent set up much much easier! You really want to make sure your stakes are very in the ground, the last thing you want is to come back to your campsite after dancing all day and find that your tent or pop up tent are falling d...
