What to Do

  • Easy access to your ID — 18+ event, needed at Will Call & Box Office
  • Do your research — read the arrival guide and gate hours before you arrive
  • Manage expectations — ONE road in and out, slower during peak arrival
  • Practice patience & gratitude — smile, give high fives, thank the team
  • Be respectful of neighbors — stay in vehicles, don’t block driveways, keep music down
  • Pro-tip: arrive together to camp together — once a campground fills, no more vehicles can enter
  • Download the LIB App ahead of the weekend
  • Bring biodegradable soap + towel + shower sandals (showers in major camp plazas)
  • Bring heavy-duty trash bags — leave no trace, pack it in, pack it out
