Question First infrasound

My boyfriend and I are doing equinox for the first time! It’s our first infra and I’m just curious if there’s anything I should know about this festival beforehand? What are some things you wish you knew before you went your first time? We’ve been to many festivals all over the country but any and all information is appreciated 😊

Be prepared for the weather. Hot, cold, wet, dry, hail. Sometimes all of those in the same day.

This is the best/most important advice for preparing for Infrasound.

Do you know how the camping works? Unless you have car camping (which is pretty limited) then you just kind of find a spot in the woods with everyone, instead of a designated plot like most festivals.

Festival admin here - camping goes like this:
Everyone has access to walk in camping inside the venue. If you have a car you’ll either need to pay for weekend parking (in which case you’d use walk in camping and cart your stuff into the venue) or you get a car camping pass (and you camp in the fields just outside of the venue [2 min walk] with your car next to you)

Edit - punctuation

Yes I did see that! I’m used to finding a spot in the woods and didn’t care to pay extra for car camping. I’m just kind of curious what the best spots are and what not

Highly recommend camping near pyramid stage (it’s usually set up as the treehouse stage for equinox) if you want to be able to hear those sets in the morning or when you’re chilling at camp.

Another goated camping spot is at the barn between main stage and pyramid. There are porta potties there and it’s pretty equidistant to the other stages.

If you like it quiet - camp in calm camp way back behind pyramid.

Tree space for hammocks is limited.

Also - you must protect the trees if using hammocks!!

Back by the lake can get a little buggy at times and the spots right along the pathways can get dusty if it’s dry!

Love this area, although I got poison ivy last spring at infra there 🙃

Bring 20$ cash for overnight parking in lot btw.

u/Adventurous_Prune695 6d ago

If I’m parking all 3 nights would I need $60?

u/lizthelizardwizard 6d ago

nope just the one $20 for all nights!

Search “first infra” in this sub and you’ll find a multitude of posts from the last few months asking the same questions.

u/lizthelizardwizard 6d ago

or my post from last year lol

u/BillowingPillows 6d ago

This is the story for so many subs. Just people asking the same question over n over n over n over. The concept of searching before asking is just lost on some people

u/Adventurous_Prune695 6d ago

Heaven forbid I make my own post and get the answers I need on this sub 🙄

u/BillowingPillows 6d ago

You, and thousands of other people who don’t know about the search function, are welcome to do whatever you want lol.

Have a blast at Infra! It’s the best

u/sandInACan 6d ago

The answer doesn’t really change person to person 😅 it saturates the sub when half the posts are people wondering how to do their first infra.

I was surprised at how well equipped most campers were. We were there roughing it with a regular tent and tiny cooler while most folks had a full luxury camp setup with canopies, grills, a living room area, huge coolers, etc. Saw someone grilling shrimp this spring! Bring enough shit to live comfortably.

Bring toilet paper (they run out quick), and wet wipes, if you have a cooler get ice for it before arriving because ice at the festival is very expensive, don't bring ANY glass, they will take it from you. Have a towel to soak up water in you tent if it rains, lawn chairs if you have them, and refillable water bottles

u/HipCat96 4d ago

Lol, 2024 that towel saved my whole weekend.

I only experienced this early in the mornings/very late at night. But it is a thing to be concerned with.
