Should I camp or stay at a hotel?
One thing you’ll need to decide is where to stay during the festival. Should you stay at a hotel, or camp outdoors at the festival grounds? Here are some considerations for both:
Tent Camping:
- Camping outdoors can be a fun and memorable experience with friends
- For some, the novelty may wear off when going for an entire weekend without the creature comforts we are accustomed to having
- You’ll need to purchase a camping pass which could help you save money over a hotel (if you already own camping gear, sleeping bags, etc.)
- When the weather turns, some campers feel like they would have a better festival experience if they had stayed at a hotel.
Hotel:
- When staying at a hotel you’ll have access to a hot shower, fresh towels, and other amenities that travelers rely on like high speed internet
- This does come at a cost. You’ll need to plan for additional travel time to get to the festival grounds
- You can park your car at the festival (must purchase a pass!) or park in Des Moines and use the Festival shuttle service
- When the weather changes you can rest easy knowing that you have a comfortable bed waiting for you
