AD Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 I'm sure there is going to be plenty of onsite camping.if they do the camping like it's done for coachella (and i imagine it will be the same, as the polo club and surrounding community has strict rules on how their facility gets used), get ready for a drastic change in how you've come to expect festival camping.no more sprawling shade tents and big circles of tents - the on-site camping for coachella is a polo field where they mark off (with a field marker thing) 8x8 squares or something, and you get assigned a square and that's it. if you want to share your tent with others you can get another 8x8 square. there is no alcohol allowed, and there is a curfew (2 AM i believe). when i was there they were very strict with both of those points - people were kicked out before even seeing one band.also, there is not 'plenty' of on-site camping - it's a small site and it will sell out fastif you want a raging party, on site camping is not the place to be. there are plenty of houses for vacation rentals down there. if anyone wants to rent a house for the weekend, i'm in!all the negatives put aside, it's an amazing venue for a big outdoor show. (and if you do camp there are free showers, a cool clubhouse that serves food and drinks, toilets, and it's a polo field so it's pretty level and great for sleeping).

phorbesie Posted June 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 booo, that sounds lame...i hope they let phish do it their way instead! hehe i already had a room booked, but the luxury house is tempting as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSTLE Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 these guys are KILLING me... i have used just about all of my vacation time. i may have go anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 just learned that they've doubled the size of the onsite camping since i was there, but it's still pretty small (compared to Limestone / Cypress / Bonnaroo etc) and all the other rules still apply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 The point is, you don't go to the Desert Springs area to camp in roped-off squares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 the point is, it worked out well for coachella - after spending the day in 40 degree heat there's no way i could have stayed up all night (in the freezing cold) to drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 No onsite alcohol?!? That seriously makes me look closer at staying offsite, or frankly hitting the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phorbesie Posted June 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 fortunately, the weather will be much more pleasant in october! should be perfect!i wonder how long until they announce it. with the save the date thing, seems like it could be weeks.

AD Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 end of april / end of october in a desert in socal, there isn't much moderation in temperature edit: i just checked out the yearly averages - end of april (coachella) average temp is 32, end of october (phish) average temp is 30. so a bit cooler but still not all that cool. it gets cold as soon as the sun goes down too. not meaning to be argumentative but it's f-ing hot down there. do-able though, for sure. velvet, the no onsite alcohol is for the campgrounds, beer flows quite well in the venue. maybe the rules will be different for phish, but i doubt it. the rules for coachella and stagecoach (country festival that happens on same site) are identical for camping.

bouche Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 I was just checking out expedia and it looks like there is a decent option for flight and hotel for a bunch of days at Resort at Indio. It's walking distance to the coachella site from what I can see and you can get 1-3 bedroom condos for the duration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigger Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 I hope it is not Cali, and not the site A.D.refered to what are they thinking. Phish wouldn"t do that to us would they , the North East is what made them.Make it the East...please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 I was just checking out expedia and it looks like there is a decent option for flight and hotel for a bunch of days at Resort at Indio. It's walking distance to the coachella site from what I can see and you can get 1-3 bedroom condos for the duration.that place seems a bit sketchy - i did a few searches and all i could find were artists renderings, no real photos... if they're taking reservations i guess they're open though... and i didn't really search that hardbut, it's definitely not walking distance - it's 8 miles from the coachella site here is the route from that place to the site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
