Recommended Packing List

Large plastic storage bin with a yellow lid and black body.
A grassy area with tents and camping gear, including a sign that reads 'Tent Camping Area' and a cooler, with a park and trees in the background.

Each participant is required to bring:

  • 1 x 27-gallon storage crate (pictured right) with a limit of 50 lbs. These are priced between $20-30 at any Walmart, Home Depot, etc, and this size of crate is REQUIRED. Our luggage trucks only work if we can stack your belongings!

  • Riders are allowed to bring a soft-shell backpack or small duffel bag in addition to their crates, if needed.

We will weigh your crate this year!

Riders over the weight limit will be charged $50 for excess.

We want you to be comfortable, but we have to set some limits to ensure our staff can load and unload the trucks safely every day.

    • Tent with rain fly and stakes

    • Sleeping pad or air mattress

    • Stuffable or inflatable pillow

    • While you’re welcome to bring a hammock, not every venue has available trees
