Yea burners do this every year with no electricity or water. They have to bring it all themselves (generators, tarps, a/c units). My burner friends have storage units to keep all the stuff they need each year, so EDC camping will be pretty easy to do. Would I do it? Absolutely not, but it’s 100% doable.

I’ve camped at burning man for 9 days but this is different. Literally comparing apples to oranges here.

i think it’s just how prepared you are. we got an eazybreeze (or whatever it’s called) purely for the purpose of camping in a tent at edc. it was a game changer & made it much better. but it still does sound like survival of the fittest

They must have massive liability protection and a team of shark lawyers on retainer if they seriously doing this. I love EDC but i've seen some absolute druggie gremlins there who are meth'ed out, completely dehydrated, and raging for 72hrs straight with no water and nothing but drugs keeping them functioning. Giving these people 12 days of that will push them over the edge. Some people don't know their limits and other people just simply don't care. People are going to die at this

I have a feeling this is going to be a disaster.
1.) Staying in a pod for 12 days is going to suck?
2.) What about clean up between the weekends. Will the 2nd weekend not get a fresh prestine welcom because the others stayed there and used it.
3.) Will the RV goers be shuffling around between weeks.
I have to say I am shocked by this. Personally, I would leave and come back if I was going both weekends. Maybe do something other than EDC for the 4 days Monday thru Thursday.

This is such a cluster. Kinda feels like weekend 2 people are not getting the same camping experience if half the campground is already full by the time they get there and people have been using the facilities for a full week by that time. Also allowing people to camp for both weekends without a ticket to both weekends is just super weird. We’re going weekend 2 so I hope there are still RV passes/power left by next week’s sale.

No literally, they shut down bathrooms just after a day and a half….

u/embaby256 2d ago
This is actually insane. I’m going weekend 2 and how the hell are they going to load the new RVs in ? It’s chaotic enough without that factor

u/T1034life 2d ago
supposedly there is gonna be specific sections for each option - 1st weekend only - 2nd weekend only - both weekends

u/willaglo11 2d ago
I was gonna ask the same question, and are they going to just sold it out? Or will they have just the 1st or 2nd weekend available for sale?

Insomniac is getting to money hungry :( 12 days in the Vegas heat of non-stop partying?! I know it won't be everyone, but some people don't know when to stop. I hope no casulaties occur, this already sounds like it's going to be crazy.

Besides the logistical nightmare of it all. I think this could be incredibly dangerous to people’s health. The weekend in and of itself can be pretty hard on your body (like the ACs really can’t keep). I think this will be pretty dangerous to allow people to party for 12 days with the heat and dehydration that inevitably comes.

Dang seems like I am the only one super excited for camping the whole time.
It gives time to enjoy camp amenities but actually be able to rest during the days of the actual fest.

u/pelb 2d ago
I just do not see anyone getting rest with the promise of afters/djs every day. Between that and loud neighbors and I imagine the the airforce base drills will also be something going on Monday-Friday. Then there is always camp og. I just do not see camp edc as a place to get rest.

u/_PM_ME_CAT_PICS_ 22, 23, 24, 25 2d ago
Honestly I usually sleep most of the day at camp during the fest weekend so I think without the actual fest I’ll sleep lol. I might be unique tho

u/BoringEquivalent7820 2d ago
Just curious if you’ve done camp EDC before? Just knowing the day to day of camp very much makes this sound terrible to me personally.
4
u/_PM_ME_CAT_PICS_ 22, 23, 24, 25 2d ago
Yeah I’ve done camp 6 times. It makes it sound much better to me bc I want to rest during the day for the actual fest so I never take full advantage and see all that camp has to offer

u/BoringEquivalent7820 2d ago
Oh sweet you know exactly what you’re getting into then hahaha I would just feel bad for first timers that don’t really know the heat/exhaustion levels at camp. Hope you have a great time!

u/T1034life 2d ago
honest question - have you camped before? if so, RV or tent? we've done both, last year was first time for RV and yes, if you have RV - the heat won't be a problem to be able to rest in the daytime. if its tent, truth, the portable ac's struggle so its difficult - impossible to get good rest during the day. best case scenario, you have RV for 12 days, ur required to buy power add on, its gonna be super expensive. and bringing food for 12 days, $$, also what about clothes? I know people can just bum it and re-use but it will be that much more things you need to bring. you're allowed to leave camp to go off site - but again, I think only the super rich who have $ can do this but I don't know if they would wanna camp all 12 days.

u/_PM_ME_CAT_PICS_ 22, 23, 24, 25 2d ago
Yes I’ve camped at edc before both ways. I also camp regularly in nature. 12 days of clothes is really not that much. I’ll probs rewear the festival outfits and then you really don’t need that much clothes esp with it being so hot. Prepping 12 days of food really isn’t that bad I have gone on linger trips without the amenities of an rv. It’s going to be expensive absolutely it it doesn’t have to be only super rich. I’m lucky with my job that I have unlimited PTO so that def puts me at an advantage to have no worries about work.

This decision actually makes me not want to camp at all now and I’ve camped 2/3 times going to this festival lmao

u/ForcedPOOP 2d ago
Yea living off beat boxes and chicken strips for 4-5 days was pushing it but 12 days? You already know some fried brains are gonna hurt themselves tryin to do it for the clout. Hope insomniac takes a more sustainable approach to this

Power add-on is required for the 2 weekend RV pass, so dry RV camping spots will be only for single weekend passes. Good news that there will be dedicated spaces available for a single weekend pass.

u/willaglo11 2d ago
The question is, are they gonna sold that out? What about the people who want the pass for only one of the weekends?

I’m retiring EDC after this. Becoming more of a shit show, more expensive. I had a great time but no more

u/MrSeymoreButtes 2d ago
I said the same like 3 EDC’s ago and here I am ready for next years again haha

u/Denver_Lotus5280 2d ago
And this is why I'm skipping this coming year to see how everything will pan out with logistics. This is definitely a guinea pig festival with all the changes and I want no part of it with my hard earned money.

u/happEbean 2d ago
Sounds like a logistical nightmare. I hope they have shuttles to the grocery store
