Tent Camping Check-In & Guidelines


Here’s a quick guide to help your arrival go smoothly:

When you arrive, please pull into the main entrance & HAVE YOUR TICKETS OPEN/READY on your phone. This will be your stop to pick up tickets and drop off your group that isn’t needed for tent set up! From there, please take vehicle back out to the main road, turn right, and follow signs to parking—keep an eye out for the second Camp Elsewhere sign and a (very cool) Land Rover marking the entrance.

Once you arrive at the meadow, a team member will be there to help guide parking. A shuttle will be running continuously back and forth to campus if you’d prefer not to walk.
