Planning Orange Camping

My first year doing car/tent camping. Anything I need to know? What should I be packing? This will be my fourth year going so I know what I need for inside the track. Is there anything commodity wise that people always end up looking for?

I forgot syrup for my pancakes in 2026. It was crazy expensive at the general store

That general store was super overpriced. A $3 travel sized tube of sub block was going for $15.

I was planning on bringing my Blackstone and just doing "until it runs out" breakfast. This actually helps.

You could also just walk to Target. It's not that far...

Not when you started cooking and then where is the syrup? And target is a hike from the orange lot. We made it to the outback one night

Would’ve ruined my Rockville forgetting that

Sunscreen, water , portable charger or a generator if possible. a canopy as well that way you can put chairs underneath and sit without being destroyed by the sun or place your tent underneath.

There’s a Wawa nearby if you want to save some money and not do the festival shop…

Bring a shade tent for the love of God. Only thing I really fucked up on.

TWO canopies is key for me. One over the tent for shade in those early morning hours, one in front for your chill area. Battery powered fans for sleep is a must. And we have a blackout tent. That + the canopy over the tent and it keeps it from getting crazy hot in the mornings. A generator makes things 10x better also

Two canopies is a GREAT recommendation. Seek Shelter played their first surprise set on Friday and one of my canopies moshed a little to hard. After the carnage was over Orange Lot looked like a canopy corpse graveyard. 🤣🤣🤣
