FAQ

• Location/transportation

  The exact address and more detailed information will be sent to all ticketholders.

  • From Bay Area: 3-4 hour drive northeast (much more east than north)
  • From South Bay: 3-5 hour drive northeast
  • From Sacramento: 1.5 - 2 hour drive east
  • From LA/SoCal: 7- 9 hour drive northeast
    

  Navigation to the campground once you exit the freeway takes roughly 30 minutes; the mountain roads have recently been repaved and are manageable for a standard sedan or any vehicle without 4WD. It is a semi-winding road, but not very steep.
  

  We recommend ridesharing, always!
  

  Cell service is spotty and/or nonexistent! Please download a map before you get closer to the mountain exit. We will share details on markers and signage to look out for.

  For our first year, we are allowing tent camping only. The campgrounds are flush with trees and a lot of space to explore; there is ample room to find a shaded or quiet camping spot away from the music stages. The land is home to other festivals and is primarily used as a dirt bike riding course, so there are pathways that are relatively easy to walk to find camping. Camping areas with more shade are likely not on super flat ground - we recommend wagons to transport your items!
  

  If car camping is required for accessibility reasons, email contact@sutrofm.net with specific requests, and we will accommodate as best we can.

• Accessibility
  • Camping
    • This is a camping event. Though prior camping experience is recommended, being comfortable with camping or having a strong willingness to become comfortable is essential. Please note that all attendees are responsible for bringing their own camping gear and setting up their campsites. If this is your first camping trip, you're still welcome. We encourage you to prepare in advance and, if possible, attend with a friend. While fellow campers may be happy to lend a hand with setup or minor issues, we can't guarantee individualized camping support throughout the weekend.
      
  • Lighting/Fog
    • Lighting, lasers, and fog will be used during this event. Our preference is to keep things tastefully lit; there will be little to no strobing.
    • Fog will be used during this event, but everything is entirely outdoors, so it should dissipate quickly.
      
  • Terrain
    • The campground is mostly dirt paths, gravel roads, and uneven forest floor. While some areas are flat, many pathways include bumps, loose gravel, and uneven ground. Mobility throughout the site may be challenging for some folks, including those using wheelchairs, scooters, walkers, crutches, or canes. We encourage anyone with questions about navigating the site or specific accessibility needs to contact us before the event so we can provide additional information.
