Escaping to rural Iowa's scenic landscape for 4 days of music is bound to be unforgettable, but in the anticipation of catching your favorite acts and making new friends, don't forget to make a game plan for your comfort and well-being throughout the weekend. Here's some sage advice from seasoned festival aficionados to help you make the most of your time at Hinterland.

1. Pace Yourself
It's tempting to try and do it all, but going full speed all four days is just not humanly possible. No one likes that FOMO feeling, but it's important to prioritize listening to your body if you push too hard you might have to miss a lot more than one set!

2. Recharge with Rest
While sleep might not be the first thing on your mind when you're surrounded by the festival buzz, resting once in a while goes a long way. Find a spot to take a load off for a little bit during the day or retreat to your campsite for a power nap. Earplugs and a cozy sleeping mat come in clutch for uninterrupted rest.

3. Fuel Your Adventure
Just as your car needs fuel to get you to St. Charles, your body will need nourishment to keep the good vibes flowing. Be sure to check out all the delicious eats from our food vendors. You've gotta recharge your batteries for the next dance session!

4. Dress to Impress AND for Comfort
Sprinkle in some practicality when selecting your festival styles. Think breathable fabrics, comfortable footwear, and versatile layers for adapting to changing temperatures and activities. A collapsible statement hat or funky sunglasses can elevate your look while shielding you from the sun. Stay prepared for unexpected weather changes with waterproof gear the fun doesn't stop, rain or shine!

5. Get Ready to Go the Distance
The festival grounds span about 2 miles, so be prepared to walk if you are parking or camping. There are designated hiking trails between campgrounds and parking lots. You may also want to bypass all that by buying a Des Moines shuttle pass.

6. Drink Water and Chill
Hydration is paramount for keeping your energy levels up and your spirits high, so take advantage of our new improved free water refill stations scattered throughout the festival grounds, as well as shade tents and misting stations.

7. Arrive Early, Go With the Flow
Whether you want to set up shop in the front row or you're hoping to snag a particular spot in the grounds, everyone is excited to get into the festival as soon as possible. Because of this, plan to review the maps before you leave, arrive early and be patient. Go with the flow of the line as we make sure everyone gets in safely.

8. Asking for Help is Cool
Whether you're feeling under the weather or simply need a helping hand, don't hesitate to reach out to festival staff or fellow attendees for assistance. From first aid stations to friendly faces offering directions, the Hinterland community is here to ensure everyone has a good and safe time. We're always here for you at realperson@hinterlandiowa.com.

Please review our FAQs. If you can't find an answer, send us an email at realperson@hinterlandiowa.com.

How to camp like a pro and make the most of your weekend in the beautiful Iowa countryside:

1. Four words: shade and air flow. The August sun in Iowa can be a little steamy, so bringing shade canopies to cover your camping area is a worthwhile consideration. Achieve pro-level status by erecting one over your tent so you can change or nap in the daytime without melting. Clipping cloth tapestries to your canopy is a great way to keep a breeze flowing through your space while blocking the sun.

2. Spare a few minutes here and there for comfort and hygiene. It's not a backpacking trip, so you can bring a few of the creature comforts that help you stay fresh and game for a whole weekend of fun. (Check out our camping pack list for inspiration.)

Take a trip to the shower trailers for a quick refresh, and be sure to take time for tooth-brushing breaks, visits to the hydration stations, and taking care of your basic needs.

3. Stay connected by keeping your devices charged with portable batteries and chargers. It's a much smoother experience than trekking to the car to charge your phone!

4. Rain or shine, be prepared. Inclement weather can happen, so don't leave the waterproof tarps, ponchos, and rain boots at home. In case of a downpour, you'll want to keep your belongings dry by storing them in sealed plastic bags or waterproof containers.

5. Keep in mind that if you're in Tent Camping, your car will not be next to your tent. Bringing a wagon for transporting your stuff to and from the campsite is a great move.

Bonus: If you forgot something at home, swing into the Dollar General right on festival grounds.

Each year music-loving families make their way to St. Charles for a beautiful music experience in the countryside. If you're planning to bring some little ones too, experienced festival-going parents shared a few tips to help you prepare.

1. Spend some time at Miniland
From interactive art installations to children's crafts, the corner of the festival made just for kids is ingeniously devised by Des Moines-based artist and mother of three boys, Ramona Muse-Lambert. Air conditioned and shaded, the Miniland tent is a good place for kiddos to have some quiet moments coloring and cooling off.

2. Pack the essentials
You'll want sunscreen, hats, reusable water bottles, and comfy clothing to keep the whole family happy. Make sure to remember ear protection for young children, especially if they'll be near the main stages.

3. Plan your schedule
Take a look at the festival schedule in advance as you may want to prioritize family-friendly activities and performances. Consider nap times and meal breaks when planning your day.

4. Stay hydrated and energized
With so much excitement in the air, it's easy to forget to hydrate and snack. Take regular meal and water breaks to keep everyone feeling their best.

5. Set meeting points
In case someone gets separated from your group, establish meeting points throughout the festival grounds where you can easily reunite with the fam.

If you're bringing the young ones to Hinterland, you're creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime. Grab your festival gear, round up the family, and get ready for an unforgettable experience in St. Charles!

p.s. Children 10 and under are free with a ticketed adult and do not require a wristband.

The entire festival grounds span about 2 miles from end to end, so be prepared to walk. There are designated hiking trails between campgrounds and parking lots. Closed toed shoes are highly encouraged for the walk from the parking lots to the venue. It’s a lovely stroll, but no one likes rocks in their sandals!

Walk on the festival hiking trail (marked on the map) to get around the campgrounds and from parking to festival grounds entrances. Walking along Highway G50 is NOT permitted for safety reasons.

Pedicabs
Skip the stroll and grab a ride! Coors Light will be offering pedicab rides at Hinterland this year. Perfect for getting from the parking lot or campgrounds to the festival entrance with zero fuss. Prices start at $15, all forms of payment accepted including cash, card, Venmo, PayPal, etc. Ready to ride? Flag one down or head to a pedicab pickup spot located throughout the grounds. Pedicabs are first-come, first-serve.

Basecamp is the new central hub in the campgrounds. Located just west of Dollar General.

‍

Make a road trip out of your drive to Hinterland with some suggestions from our friends at Subaru.

‍

• All sales are final - no refunds or exchanges.
• Only wristbands purchased through AXS are valid for entry. If you purchased from an unauthorized source or have a counterfeit wristband, entry will not be permitted.
• Wristbands must be worn securely on your wrist and cannot be slipped on or off.
• Keep your wristband on for the entire festival—it must not be removed, stretched, or tampered with, as doing so will void entry.
• To re-enter the festival on the same day, your wristband must be scanned upon exiting.
• Wristbands are non-transferable and non-exchangeable.

Lost or Damaged Wristbands?
No worries! They can be replaced one time only for the original purchaser, for a $25 replacement fee. Just head to our Box Office and they'll get you taken care of. Please bring a photo ID (or picture of the photo ID) of the original purchaser.

Please Note:

• Counterfeit or duplicated wristbands will be confiscated by security.
• This wristband policy is strictly enforced, and there are no exceptions.

Your wristband is your ticket to an incredible experience! Please treat it with care-it's a revocable license, and entry may be denied or revoked for non-compliance with festival policies or protocols. By attending the festival, you voluntarily assume all risks, including potential injury or loss of property.

The entire festival grounds span about 1.5 miles from end to end, so be prepared to walk (closed toe shoes are recommended). There are designated hiking trails between campgrounds and parking lots.

Walk on the festival hiking trail (marked on the map) to get around the campgrounds and from parking to festival grounds entrances. Walking along Highway G50 is NOT permitted for safety reasons.

Keep in mind that if you're in Tent Camping or Glamping, your car will not be next to your tent. Bringing a wagon for transporting your stuff to and from the campsite is a great move.

Pedicabs
Skip the stroll and grab a ride! Coors Light will be offering pedicab rides at Hinterland this year. Perfect for getting from the parking lot or campgrounds to the festival entrance with zero fuss. Prices start at $15, all forms of payment accepted including cash, card, Venmo, PayPal, etc. Ready to ride? Flag one down or head to a pedicab pickup spot located throughout the grounds. Pedicabs are first-come, first-serve.

‍

There is a lost and found tent inside the festival grounds near the south entrance (see map).

All items turned into lost and found will be posted on Hinterland Lost and Found, where you can search for and claim your missing items.

If you do not see your lost item, you can create a Loss Report to notify the Guest Services team. If the item gets turned in, you will be notified.

Any lost and found items not claimed during the festival will be held for a year at the Liff storage facility and can be claimed during this time at Hinterland Lost and Found; Liff will then ship the item back to you.

Power is not provided for campers. Please plan accordingly.

The only exception is that Glamping and Powered RV Campsites. Glamping includes a power strip with 20-amp service. Powered RV Campsites include a 50-amp power hookup. Bring your own adapter if your RV uses a 30-amp connection. They will not be available for sale.

Activate your wristband prior to the festival and link a credit card/debit card for swift payments with all vendors by registering for cashless. This is the easiest way to pay for food, drinks, merch, and more. During the festival, order at any food, drink, or merch vendor and let them know you’re paying with your wristband. Tap your wristband, enter your PIN, and you’re done!

‍
