Reminder - if you’re setting up camp on Thursday and staying overnight, we encourage you to come with food, beverages, ice, etc. While some food vendors will be open on Thursday night, the festival will not be fully open until Friday.

While you won’t have direct access to power, you will have availability to charge phones, etc. at the Saints Camping Concierge tent. Portable chargers work wonders out in the wild! If you’re new to the camping game, a portable charger will be incredibly helpful on this adventure. Jackery is one of our favorite brands AND they have solar charging capabilities!

The Saint Concierge team is here to help move your things from vehicle to camp, but reminder, your vehicle is not with you! We highly recommend arriving with your items ready to move to make load in/out as efficient as possible. Of course, if you need to leave the site or get something from your vehicle, the Saints team is here to assist.

If you’re looking for morning coffee, head over to the Community Tent, located between the Saints Camping and Glamping areas. Good vibes and conversation.

One of our favorite things about Hinterland is that strangers become family! When you set up your camp, please be courteous with the space you take. AND introduce yourself to your neighbors!
