Music and camping are two of my favorite things and when I get to do both it makes for a magical time. Here is my tried and true camping festival gear list that have come with me local and far away festivals. Affiliate disclosure: This post contains affiliate links.

1. Cotopaxi Allpa 35 (the do-everything festival pack)
This is my absolute favorite backpack. It’s carry-on size for out of state festivals and has so many handy pockets. The people designing it know what they are doing. And there are so many fun color choices. Grab the Cotopaxi Allpa on Amazon
2. MVPKings Foldable Solar Charger
Every festival goer has had the mission to get their phone charged. This is a great person sized charger. Keep you phone charged for all the pictures you need to take. Shop yours on Amazon
3. Jackery Power Station (the camp HQ battery)
Be the most popular camp and let your new festival friends charge their phones. All your camping buddies and new best friends will be able to get their phones up and charged again in no time. Phone charging is great festival currency. Mimosa or coffee trade for a phone charge, absolutely. This is expert level gear. Grab yours on Amazon
4. OnlyFire Fire Pit/Bluetooth Speaker
I was completely amazed the first time I saw this. A propane fire pit that also plays music?! Made to go to festivals. If the battery bank is expert this is King/Queen of the festival gear. My friend, a verified Queen of festivals, brought this to Renewal last year, and we were the late night camp spot. Most festivals don’t allow wood burning fires, so this with a speaker is essential. It also travels much easier than the other types of propane fire pits. OnlyFire on Amazon
5. Supergoop! Glowscreen (SPF + glow)
This is my daily sunscreen and the soft glow gives you a fresh look without having to do a full makeup routine. Last time I put this on my friend said my face was glowing, it really works, and the reason I have replenished this many times. Since anything goes for festival beauty this is also a great base layer for whatever look you are going for. Supergoop! staple on Amazon
6. Face Gems (Festival Fun)
Who doesn’t love face decorations. Step up your sparkle game with these face gems. Easy to use and add a little magic to even a simple outfit. They travel easily and come in bigger packs so you can share with friends. Face Gems on Amazon
7. Big Agnes Echo Park Sleeping Bag
Since you will eventually get to a point and get some sleep, pick a sleeping bag that will keep you the right temperature and get your dancing legs rested for the next day of dancing. Shop on Amazon
Festival days are long, and the best part is you get to wake up the next day and do it again They are my favorite way to experience music, especially if you pack right. These are my real-world staples that keep me powered, comfy, sun-safe, and a little sparkly. If you try any of them, tell me what worked for you (or what I should test next) in the comments. Safe travels and see you at the next festival.
