Pre-Event Planning

If you’re camping, arrive early to claim shaded sites and set up with tarps or canopies for sun and rain protection. Quiet hours are enforced in family camping areas, and late-night jams happen in designated campground zones—plan your campsite accordingly. Bring both cash and cards, and pack a refillable water bottle to use at on-site stations.

Set a group meeting spot in case cell service gets spotty in high-traffic areas. Review the daily Romp Fest schedule with your crew so everyone knows when and where to meet for must-see sets. With 30–40 artists across multiple stages, a little planning goes a long way.
