Metal stakes are strictly forbidden because the field you are camping on is a polo field and horses will get seriously injured if they run on a metal stake that someone will inevitably leave behind. So it's imperative NOT to bring metal stakes. Purchase longer plastic ones and plant them at an angle.
@@emilydao_ normally security is quite strict about it, so I wouldn't try it. I'd suggest instead to buy long, wide plastic stakes (9+ inches) and/or screw stakes. Remember to angle them (~45 deg) so that the end that goes in the soil will point towards the inside of the tent. Finally, don't forget to add weights if you're planning to use canopies.
Thanks for your video! I’m going weekend one with Car Camping and this is the BIGGEST festival I have been to. First time at coachella and camping at a fest. 😊
the showers aren't bad if you go earlier in the morning if you want to use the facilities or during off times! i will probably use it again to wash my hair next year at coachella and then we had our camp solar shower which was also nice to just freshen up :)
If it’s just you and one other person can you just sleep in your car if it’s big? The tents seem like such a hassle especially since others say you can’t bring metal stakes
it lasted us the entire trip from Thurs (day 0) -Sunday with 4 people charging their phones daily/ using the curling iron/ etc! We'll be camping again in 2025 too 😊

Thanks for the insight! We didn’t see security implement this so maybe bring both, but our plastic ones had no chance with the heavy wind on day 0

I want to do car camping because of the access to go back and forth from the car to festival …. But the shower situation is where I get nervous

Absolutely! I’ve seen people sleep in their cars so it’s totally up to you
How long did your powerbank last? The whole weekend? Also thank you this was really helpful
thank u!! it lasted the whole weekend for our group of 4 :)
can you leave your tent set up when you leave to the festival, or do you need to take it down/up every night?
yes! just make sure it is secured properly in case there is any wind but most people leave it up :)
Hello, Im thinking about going to do the car camping but I was wondering if the canopy is given by the place or everyone has to bringone
hi! usually people bring their own :)
just watching this in prep for 2025. how long would you say your power solution lasted you guys?
it lasted us the entire trip from Thurs (day 0) -Sunday with 4 people charging their phones daily/ using the curling iron/ etc! We'll be camping again in 2025 too 😊
This sounds like a big struggle
Not as big of a struggle as waiting 2+ hours to *hopefully* get on a shuttle to your hotel or secure a rideshare at the end of the night
