Camping Rules and Info

Juggalo-Class Camping, And It's Free! Hatchet Landings is an enormous, rolling field of flavor, with woods, waterways, and outdoor goodness everywhere you look. Your head will be spinnin, and your wig will be ridin the whirlwind all weekend long! Free camping in this place is one hell of a bargain! There's no limit on tent sizes, nor on how many you can bring, and the place is so huge, there's endless choices for where to set up. If you have a wristband and medallion (as ALL of you should) you can Tent Camp for free in any camping area, as long as you respect all the rules in this section.

First Come, First Served Tent Camping

What this means is that when you go to any Tent Camping area, any open space you see is available for you to camp on. The only thing you need to keep in mind is a campfire or a car, which is detailed below, and the spacing rules, also below. It's that simple. If you want to hold a spot for a homie, you must have a person in that spot until your homie arrives to claim it. That person may politely tell other campers that he/she is holding the spot. As the grounds fill up (which will take a good long while since there's a ton of space available) you may have to work out arrangements with your neighbors. If a disagreement arises, there will be other great spots to pick from, or you can go to the Info Tent.

Car Camping

You will have to have a Car Camping pass on your vehicle to bring your car into ANY camping areas. Cars may not be moved once they have been parked in the Car Camping Area. If you plan to camp with your car, be prepared for a spot in the open fields, since no cars will be allowed in the woods. Plan on carrying your gear if you want a treesy spot. If you plan to sleep in your cars, remember this important safety rule: YOU MAY NOT SLEEP IN YOUR CAR WITH THE WINDOWS ROLLED UP. There is simply too much danger of dehydration, suffocation and heatstroke to allow sleeping in cars with closed windows. You can sleep in em if you keep the windows open, even if it's just a few inches, so you should bring some mosquito netting, bug spray, or Citronella to keep the bugs away.

Tent Spacing Rules

Every camper should respect the space and privacy of the campers around his/her tent. This is your Juggalo family, and we expect you to act like family. To that end, we will also require you to keep your tent certain distances from other things:

1. Every tent must be located at least 15 feet (an average car length) from any other tent, car, campfire, or stucture in any direction.
2. Every car (with Car Camping pass) must be located at least 15 feet (an average car length) from any other car, tent, campfire, or structure in any direction
3. Every campfire must be located at least 15 feet (an average car length) from any other campfire, car, tent, structure, or tree.

So basically, 15 feet, or the length of a car, is the distance you should be able to measure between the stuff you set up and any other stuff set up around. If you have a campfire, you need to keep it the same distance from trees as well. We will not restrict the placement of chairs, coolers, or other camping accessories, so long as it is respectful of your neighbors, and they have no complaints. They're fellow Juggalos, so if you're not sure, just ask 'em.

Just In Case

Psychopathic Records reserves the right to require any tent, car, camper, or campfire to move at any time... but we promise it will only be in case of disputes or emergencies. If we decide your campfire has reached life-threatening levels, we may ask you to put it out. If you have any questions, or in the rare case a conflict should occur, all can be resolved at the Information Tent.

Big Baller Party Site Specifics:

Getting Your Baller Site
A Big Baller Party Camping Pass will allow you into the Big Baller Camping area, so that's where you should take your stuff. Sites will be First Come, First Served, so you have your choice of avaiable sites. You must respect the choice of a Big Baller camper who gets to a spot before you do. Don't worry: you bought a site and it's there waiting for you. Some may have specific features that appeal to you more then others, but all the Baller sites have the same amount of flavor.

Baller Vehicles
You can only park one large vehicle (RV or camper) on the site, but it may be as big as you need--anything short of a big rig! Your Big Baller Pass/Sticker should be clearly visible, and must remain on the vehicle at all times. Other vehicles on the site will require Car Camping Passes. For safety reasons, you may not move vehicles beyond your site once they are there.

Additional Baller Tents and Baller Campfires
You may cram as many tents as you want on the site, so long as you can walk between them. Campfires must stil be at least 15 feet from any tents, vehicles, trees, or structures.

Baller Electricity
You will have sole access to one standard electrical outlet AND at least one RV outlet on your site, so bring a splitter or stripline if you need more. You may use this electricity from the moment the Gathering opens, to the moment it closes, and will never be charged for it. We reserve the right to restict any unsafe electrical hookups. As a rule, 6 to 10 major electrical devices can be used at a time. Of primary concern are overloaded circuits and dangerous, overlapping webs of power cords. Be more aware of keeping your devices seperate than how many of them there are.

Baller Water
Water faucets are found throughout the Big Baller camping area, about 1 for every 4 campsites. You may fill up whatever containers you want at these faucets, and may attach hoses to the faucets FOR LIMITED PERIODS OF TIME, ONLY TO FILL TANKS OR CONTAINERS. You may NOT leave a hose attached to the faucet for more time than it takes to fill your tank/container. Access to faucets will be first come first served, so respect the campers ahead of and behind you in line. This water is safe for drinking and cooking, and you will never be charged for using it.

Other Attractions

Now you know we got major plans for this place, but right now we have only a partial list. This devastation is what we got so far:

The Watering Hole
Right in the middle of Hatchet Landings is a clean, cozy swimming hole for all your heat-beatin, belly-floppin needs!

Rides
There's a herd of carnies hangin out 'round the Psychopathic office right now, building, beating, and banging into shape some of the freshest Carnival rides this side of C.O.C. When they're done, the caravan will move to Hatchet Landings and start flippin wigs. These rides are guaranteed safer than the Terror Wheel. Probably.

Merch
We'd describe some of the merch going down to Hatchet Landings, but when we peeped it, our eyes popped right out our nuggets. Then we stepped on them and came up with a new design for a shirt. But you know Psychopathic has the freshest merch, so bring some bucks and check out the merch booth!

In addition to the flavor we bring with us, Hatchet Landings is one of the freshest locations we've ever seen a Gathering at! In addition to sprawling, scenic wilderness, Cave-In-Rock has a history of violence as long as your tattooed arm! This area has been home to River Pirates, Smugglers, Counterfeiters, Ghosts, and some of the nation's first Serial Killers! Peep that freshness here.
