CAMPGROUND RULES
You must arrive together to camp together. No saving spots.
Each Car Camping space must be occupied by a vehicle, don’t try to get tricky and buy up extra spots without a vehicle to put there.
Have a friend that you are looking to add to your camping spot? No problem - they will need to purchase a Camping Companion Pass to get into the campgrounds and you can invite them over to share your extra space!
CAMPING is 18+ unless with a parent or guardian (NO EXCEPTIONS). Only one vehicle camping pass is needed per vehicle. This DOES NOT include a festival ticket. Everyone attending the festival must purchase a GA or VIP ticket in addition to this pass.

HOW TO CAMP AT GRIDLIFE
GRIDLIFE MIDWEST FEST OFFERS 2 TYPES OF CAMPING.
RESERVED CAMPING
OPEN CAMPING
WHAT IS RESERVED CAMPING?
Reserved Camping means that you can select the exact spot you will be camping in over the weekend! This includes: Crew Corrals, Trackside Camping, XL & RV Camping. All of these spots are individually reservable so you can lock down the exact spot you want before you arrive on site. Your Reserved Camping spot includes access for you, the ticket buyer, along with your friends!
If you have friends who want to camp with you on your Reserved Campsite with their vehicle, they will need a Reserved Companion Pass. What is that, you ask? A Reserved Camping Companion Pass a campground parking pass for your friends vehicles so that they can join you on your Trackside Crew Corral, Trackside RV / XL or RV spot.
