Glamping Parking at Louder Than Life

See camping & parking passes here: Camping Passes and Parking Info

Each Home Bass Glamping package includes your festival admission and a camping vehicle pass. Vehicles will be parked near — but not directly beside — the Home Bass Glamping area; there’s a designated area for campers to load and unload on arrival and departure.

Camping vehicle passes are mailed in advance and include directions to the camping toll booth entrance.

Want vehicle access mid-weekend? There are no standard in/out privileges for camping vehicles once parked. If you want your car available during the weekend, purchase an Overnight Camping Vehicle Pass in advance (limited quantity) — this parks your vehicle in a separate overnight lot, and you’ll need to exit the campground on foot (subject to search) to reach it.

BOX OFFICE / CAMPING CHECK-IN INFORMATION

Camping Box Office hours run simultaneously with camping check-in hours on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday (see hours below). All campers must have a festival pass to enter the campgrounds — passes are scanned and exchanged for a camping wristband.

What’s Included in my Glamping Package:

More about your Glamping Experience on behalf of Stout Tent

We are so excited to check-you into your tent accommodation at Louder Than Life 2026!! At the Glamping Check-in tent, you’ll provide your name and ticket number/credential and be provided with a Tent Number and a Tent Lock Code.

General Information:

We want to make sure that your stay is as comfortable as possible, so here are some additional details on what items are included in your package (see below) and some recommendations for what you may want to pack!

What you may want to pack: 

•     Towels.
•     Toiletries.
•     A pop-up shade that can be used in front of your tent – to be confirmed if allowed by client
•     Charging cords.

Power: 

•     The tents will each have an extension cord with a power strip run into the tent for charging small, electronic devices.
•     No daisy chaining (this will stress power available to all and can cause the power to trip/an outage).
•     No appliances/heavy power draws (blenders, fridges, etc.).

Showers:

Glampers will have access to luxury restroom and shower trailers, located in the Glamping area. 

Complimentary campground shower hours:

•     Wednesday: 1 PM – 7 PM

Personal Cooling Units FAQ: (subject to change per event)

1. How does my Cooling Unit work?

•     Temperature recommended at 72.
•     When running Cooling Unit exhaust tube & drainage tube should be placed out of the front door of your tent. The tent flap closest to your Cooling Unit should be open at all times. If not, this will prevent proper air flow and the temperature will rise with the possibility of your tent collapsing.

2. Can the cooling units run all day long?

•     Sure, as long as power is pumping! We recommend that when you are out and about during the day you raise the temp or turn it off so that they aren’t “cooling the outdoors.”

3. Can the pre-set temp be adjusted?

•     Yes, the units have a regular thermostat on them that is adjustable. We recommend that the units are set to 72*, which does not mean they will always achieve that temperature (it is dependent on factors like: outside temp, humidity, etc.). Most people are satisfied with their performance in the mornings and evenings, but at the peak heat of the day, they work really hard and don’t achieve the set temperature.

4. Is it going to be an air conditioner or like a swamp cooler?

•     They are portable AC units, rated at 15,000 BTU, which is rated to cool most rooms up to about 875 sq. ft., these ratings are based on interior space that is insulated, so please note they are not as effective at cooling a 275 sq ft tent in a hot field as they would be in a standard dwelling.
