Coachella 2026 has unveiled a fresh Group Car Camping option designed for festival squads of 10 to 20 cars who want to camp side-by-side. Here’s what you need to know:
- Group Size: Minimum 10 spots, maximum 20 spots.
- Pricing: Same per-spot price as regular car camping — starting at $160 per spot, including fees.
- Spot Size: Each spot measures 10’×30’, allowing a car plus camping gear.
- Setup: Groups can arrive and set up at their own pace without waiting for everyone to show up.
- Vehicle Rules: One vehicle per spot; any extra vehicles must park elsewhere.
- Layout: No custom layouts allowed, aiming to keep the space organized.
- Ticket Sale: Goes on sale May 2 at 11 AM.
Community reactions are split: some festivalgoers love the new setup for the flexibility and social vibe, while others voice concerns about potential organizational issues, policing empty spots, and how convenient these group sites’ locations will be compared to traditional car camping areas.
This option marks Coachella’s newest step in evolving the camping experience to fit larger friend groups without breaking the bank or complex logistics. Stay tuned for on-sale reminders and more camping intel.
