Creating a Comfortable – Almost Too Inviting – Music Festival Campsite

Festival campsite with tapestries, a carpet, chairs, and a Kelty tarp

You know you’ve created a comfortable campsite when you find a stranger asleep in one of your hammocks at dawn. At least, we guess that’s a good sign. Whether chairs around the campfire, an outdoor carpet for a guest to lay out his bedroll, or hammocks hung between trees (regardless of whether stragglers catch Zs), camping culture calls for a welcoming encampment. What pieces are required to create a perfect campsite? We have a few suggestions below. We’ll dig into some product reviews down the road.

People outfit their home patios with chairs, tables, and tunes. No reason the campsite can’t own a similar spirit and a vibe all its own.

This is a guest blog from regular contributor Zoe Zbar. To read this and her other work,  click here…
Writer Zoe and dad hang with some Wanee creatures

The “boom” of the bass blares over the entire park. Walking up to the stage, I’m full of hype, ready to dance until I can’t feel my feet anymore. It’s the final show on the Peach Stage of Wanee Music Festival – a full-on camping music festival.

Warming up is Widespread Panic, a Georgia-based jam band known for sending their fans into a frenzy. The entire population of campers, hippies, and music lovers are dance-skipping to the same place. I finally wade into the crowd, a few feet from the rail when I realize the only view I’m getting of Widespread Panic is the cartoons of lead singer John Bell on the backs of spectators’ WSMFP shirts.
Even with the best intentions and the most determination, I’m still only 5’1″ at a music festival.

Tweak of the Week: Upgrade Your RV to LED Lights

 

When you roll your RV or trailer out to a music festival or campground, the rig’s lighting can be an overlooked source of functionality and aesthetic. But do you have the right light for the job? An easy hack which gets a lot of attention is upgrading your RV’s lights to LED.

Easy to replace but just as easily overlooked, LEDs have many advantages over conventional (incandescent) bulbs. Only if you see the light. LED lights last much, much longer than conventional bulbs, and they have dropped in price over the last few years. So it’s a no brainer to upgrade your bulbs.

RV Covers: Protecting Value & Beauty for the Next Roadtrip or Music Festival

Heading out to a music festival or on the open road this season? You’re certain to spend hundreds – even thousands – of dollars each year on RV and travel trailer insurance policies, maintenance programs, and roadside assistance plans. That’s money spent on the possibility of something going wrong. What about investing in something to protect against damage that’s certain to occur?

The roof, sides, and paint job of every RV and travel will suffer wear, tear, and abuse just through everyday use and exposure. Investing in a RV or trailer roof cover or universal cover can stave off the harmful effects of sun, rain, snow, debris, and the elements – and protect the investment, longevity, and resale value.
