F.A.Q
Heading out to the desert? Here are a few tips to keep in mind.
-
Ensure you have a full tank of gas – enough to get to and from Lincoln County. The nearest gas station to Basecamp is 15 miles away and it is possible demand may overwhelm supply.
-
Do not speed. You will get a ticket.
-
Do not drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
-
Be especially careful driving at night. It gets very dark in the desert and artificial light is limited.
-
Firearms are strictly prohibited. Anyone carrying a firearm will be barred entrance from the event or immediately removed from the site.
-
The use of illegal drugs is strictly prohibited.
-
Wear closed-toe shoes or boots. The ground near Basecamp has been cleared; however, further out, the desert floor is harsh and home to numerous species of snakes and scorpions.
-
Tickets will be available on-site, however advanced purchase is recommended to reserve your space.
-
Be sure to hydrate – the desert is hot and dry. Two bottles of water will be provided with each festival day ticket. We also recommend bringing an insulated water bottle for regular fill up.

-
Wifi and cellular service may be spotty. Basecamp organizer are working to provide strong wifi service, however event goers should be prepared for limited coverage.
-
Dogs are welcome as long as they are friendly and not dog or human aggressive. A small pet relief area will be provided on-site. Please bring water for your pet. All dogs are required to be on a leash.
