Welcome back Dreamers!

RULES + IMPORTANT INFO

Camping

Does Camping cost Extra? 

Camping is included in your ticket price. A On Site Parking Pass or RV Camping Pass (separate fee) is required if you want to park your car at your campsite.

How big is each campsite?

Most camping is walk-in and free-form, with limited space. Please conserve room and optimize your setup so everyone has space.  Arrive early to snag a great spot! Belden is beautifully situated a long the Feather River, there are lots of great spots to camp at.

Parking

Do I need a Parking Pass?

Yes — all vehicles require a parking pass. Options include:
General Admission Offsite Parking (park at our offsite lot and shuttle in)
VIP Onsite Parking (park at Belden)
VIP RV Parking  (park at Belden
*See official Arrival and Departure Instructions on the Parking and Arrival Page

Important: Vehicles without a pass may be towed. We recommend carpooling to reduce congestion and environmental impact.

Are there ins and outs?

During Shuttle times attendendees who are parked offsite may access their vehicles by hopping on our courtesy shuttle and catching a lift to our GA Offsite Parking.

Vehicles that are VIP Parking at Belden are not allowed to leave and return. Once a vehicle enters the Belden Festival Ground it can leave only once and will not be permitted to drive back.

This is a Leave No Trace Event

This is a pack it in, pack it out event. Which means if you bring it in, it’s your responsibility to take it home. So please bring garbage bags and items that don’t cause much waste. This is VERY important. Don’t forget to help your neighbors too.

If you come and leave your animal in your car, we wil be forced to rescue your animal and have your car towed. Best to leave them at home with a friend or family member.***See PET & SERVICE ANIMAL POLICY below. If you bring your dog/pet, this may lead you to not being able to attend the campout. You will be asked to take your pet home and then come back. We are not kidding!

Flow Arts

No Fire Performances at Belden

Due to the high wildfire risk and strict permit regulations at Belden, fire spinning and fire performances are not allowed at this venue — no exceptions. We know this is a big part of our culture, but safety comes first and we must respect the land and our community’s continued access to this beautiful space.

Please bring your flow toys!

Daytime and LED/night flow is always welcome — just no flame-based props.

Let’s keep the magic alive while keeping the forest safe.

PET & SERVICE ANIMAL POLICY

Service animals are working animals, not pets. Service animals are dogs that are trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities.

Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, reminding a person with mental illness to take prescribed medications, calming a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties.

Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA.

Pets are strictly and expressly prohibited at Stilldream LLC. Pets may not be kept anywhere on festival grounds, including campsites, parking lots, RVs or vehicles.

Service animals attending Stilldream LLC must be registered by their handler at the box office upon arrival. Anyone with an unauthorized animal will not be permitted to keep their pet on site and will be asked to leave. Please present your ADA vehicle certification and PWD service animal certification upon arrival. If bringing a service animal on-site, your certification should be on-hand at all times.

Under the ADA, service animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless these devices interfere with the service animal’s work or the individual’s disability prevents using these devices. In that case, the individual must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal, or other effective controls.

15 No cook camping ideas:

https://thedyrt.com/magazine/lifestyle/no-cook-camping-meals/

*** When packing food please only bring what you need, If you bring a box of crackers, leave the box at home and only bring the bag to help cut down on waste at the venue.

Coolers: Cover with UV reflective material if you can. Keep them out of the sun. Separate food and drink coolers are a great idea if you have two coolers.

Ice – Make sure you have enough to keep everything cool while you’re there.  ICE will be available for purchase at the SD Headquarters / Merch booth at the Cross Roads.

Personal Light – It can get dark at night so don’t forget this necessity. A lantern for light at camp *and* a headlamp is a very good idea. Headlamps are highly recommended. They are hard to loose, and they make using the porta-potties WAY EASIER!

Clothing:

It’s going to be warm during the day so bring gear to stay cool. Wide brimmed hats, sunglasses, tank tops, shorts, light colored clothing( white, tan, pastel)

It’s going to be cool at night. Layers!  Hoodies, jacket, warm hat, leggings, sweatpants, 

Bathing suit!! There is a creek and you may want to dip in to cool off. Highly recommended!

Extra Toilet Paper – The bathrooms will be stocked, but you never know. Always good to be prepared.

Fun Stuff – Super Soakers, Beach Balls, Hula Hoops, Poi, Frisbee’s, Yoga Mats, Sketch pads, Playing cards, Checkers, chess, backgammon, Adult coloring books,  etc.
