Early-entry programming begins Thursday, October 1; the main festival runs Friday and Saturday, with final campground departure on Sunday, October 4. - Age? 21+ with valid photo ID. - Is camping included? Weekend GA includes a 10x10 general tent-camping plot. - Do cars need a pass? Yes. Every vehicle needs the correct parking or camping credential. Tickets and camping Submersion is built as a stay-on-site campout. Weekend GA includes general tent camping, but vehicle access is separate. Standard car camping is sold out at the latest check; alternate car-camping inventory and RV inventory are limited and can change quickly. If you are driving, make sure the pass in your order actually matches how you intend to park or camp. Car-camping and RV vehicles cannot leave and re-enter once parked. General Parking follows different rules, so do not assume a parking pass and a camping pass are interchangeable. Arrival and box office Everyone has to arrive during published box-office hours. Current organizer guidance lists Thursday 10 AM–11 PM, Friday 10 AM–10 PM and Saturday 10 AM–8 PM. Do not line up on surrounding roads overnight. Early Entry begins Thursday and has its own credential. If your ticket is for a later arrival window, follow that credential rather than the first gate opening. Water, showers and food Filtered water refill stations and showers are available. Food vendors include vegetarian and vegan options, and campers may bring food. The current rules allow small camp-stove/grill propane canisters and prohibit glass. Accessibility Published ADA support includes ADA carside camping, power in the ADA camping area, accessible toilets and showers, cold storage for medication and service-animal procedures. Contact the festival directly before travel if you need a specific accommodation that is not clearly covered in the guide. Before you lose signal Save your ticket, campground information, arrival hours and map before driving into the Pine Barrens. Camping inventory, gate details and pass status are volatile, so re-check the official pages before departure. Official resources: festival site · tickets · FAQ · grounds/map
