Coachella Camping Survival Guide

SURVIVING COACHELLA

Coachella. A world renowned multi-day music festival located at the Empire Polo Club in Indo, California.

As April comes along and the music festival season begins to surface, Coachella's 3-day festival opens it's door for all music lovers.





Coachella features an array of several genres of music including, electronic, indie, hip hop, and rock.

Being prepared can enhance your experience make your adventure much more memorable. As with anything in life, you learn through trial and error. This year was my first year attending Coachella and although I came prepared, there are supplies I wish I had brought and others I wished I had left at home. It is common to over pack unnecessary items which is why I have created this page with key feature items you will need to make the best out of your stay at Coachella.

As a Coachella attendee, you get the option to do car camping, tent camping, and regular admission.
