Bring everything you need for a camping weekend away without electricity, and be ready for any weather. Pack food, drinks, ice, and anything else you need to be comfortable for the weekend.
Plan to bring enough water for your campsite over the weekend. There will be free water by the stage for you to fill personal water bottles.
For food, there is a grocery store in Field (5 minute drive), and more options in Sturgeon Falls (20 minutes) and North Bay (1 hour). There is also a small tuck shop near the entrance to the site where you can buy extra ice and some other essentials. There are three BBQs available for use in the kitchen area. Otherwise bring a camping stove to cook.
We also have three food vendors present on Friday, Saturday and Sunday - past BOOT favourites Chef Wadi and Flour Power return to nourish you, plus milkmade will offer stunning ice cream sandwiches made famous at flip.
There will be designated camping areas to set up tents. You will not be able to camp next to your car. Bring tarps and rope in case of rain.
Get ready to share camping space on the site. Be open to making new friends and don’t be afraid to ask others if you can join their camping area.

Plan for a weekend off your phone. Cell service on the site is spotty and often non-existent. There is wifi available at the tuck shop near the entrance.
There will be designated fire pits for collective use on the land, subject to any fire ban at the time. As in previous years we ask that no one build fires at their individual campsites.
You will be asked to leave your car in the designated parking area. There is no parking next to the camping sites.
Pack so that you can carry all your belongings and supplies to and from the campsites (around 5-15 minutes by foot from the parking area). There will be a few carts available to help you carry your stuff, but be prepared to carry your belongings to your site.
Cars will not be allowed on the site at the end of the event; when you are ready to leave, please walk all your gear back to your car, or use any carts that are available
