EDM festival camping: The ultimate packing list

Updated: Feb 26

We've compiled everything you need to have the best festival experience under the stars.


Given that Excision's Lost Lands Music Festival is quickly approaching, it's time to start preparing for those of us who plan to camp at Legend Valley.


If it's your first time camping at a music festival, planning can get overwhelming (to say the least). The Dubstep FBI team has gone camping at some of the world's largest music festivals in the world including Tomorrowland, Coachella and EDC Las Vegas.



Combining our years of experience, we compiled a list of essentials that we know will give you the ultimate festival camping experience.


The list is separated into four categories:

  1. Camping Supplies

  2. Cooking Supplies

  3. Toiletries

  4. Extras

Check out Dubstep FBI's Festival Camping List below and let us know what you think! We also compiled this list into a printable PDF which you can find here.
