Parking and Transportation

ARRIVAL: Participants and volunteers who are camping may use the Fruit Bowl Access Trail and Parking to only temporarily park to drop off friends, camping, and other gear. We have hundreds of participants so you have a maximum of 10 minutes to drop off your gear and friends before you have to bring your vehicle to Lots A or B. The Fruit Bowl Access Trail is rocky but drivable for most cars but take extra caution and go slow. If you do not need to drive in to drop off, don’t. We have a shuttle system.

PARKING/VANLIFE:  We are selling a limited number of Van Lifer parking passes for those who aree living in their vehicles and want to park in the Fruit Bowl Parking Lot to be closer to the action. They can be purchased at our event ticket page. All other parking in the Fruit Bowl Parking Lot is restricted to Staff and Emergency Vehicles only. All participants and spectators without a Van Life pass must park in Lots A and B which is free. The lots are over 1.7 miles from the cliffs so bring a tent to minimize going back, or bring a bike if you will need to go to and from your car in Lot A/B. You may also sleep in your vehicle at. Lots A/B but again, it is far from the event.

SHUTTLE: The shuttle will run from 8am to 5:30pm 11/19 to 11/23 from the Fruit Bowl parking lot. Between 5:50pm and 10pm the shuttles are not running. ONE last-call shuttle will run from the Fruit Bowl parking lot to the remote lots at 10pm. The shuttle will also run from 8 to 12pm on Friday 11/24 for the exodus from the festival. PLEASE ARRIVE DURING THESE SHUTTLE TIMES. Shuttles make a trip to Lot A, then B, then to the Fruit Bowl Parking lot for drop-off. If you have a lot of gear you may drive your car into the Fruit Bowl Parking lot to drop it off along with friends. You have 10 minutes to drop off stuff (do not check-in). Drop your car off, take the shuttle back, and check in after. Durning party nights, shuttles may run a bit later than 10pm but this is not guaranteed.

DEPARTURE: When you are ready to leave, bring your gear to the Fruit Bowl Parking lot, catch the shuttle to the lot you parked in, and you may drive your car back down the trail to pick up your items but please depart quickly once you are ready to avoid traffic congestion in the Fruit Bowl Parking lot. You can also just bring your gear in the shuttle if you don’t have a lot of things.

PLEASE DO NOT PARK IN UNAUTHORIZED SPACES AND AVOID PARKING ON VEGETATION AND CRYPTOBIOTIC SOIL.
