FAQ
Give me the run down on the balla site?
The site is approximately 25x50. You get one (1) 30 amp plug to plug in your RV and there is one (1) 20 amp plug which is what you would find in your home that you can plug a surge protector in giving you up to, but no more, than ten extra outlets. There is a water spicket which you will share with a few of your surrounding Big Balla Neighbors. It allows you to park one vehicle of any size (no 18 wheelers) on your site. Now, let's say you have a friend who also purchased a car pass. If you both can fit your vehicles in your area then you can do that. If you you want to take up your entire space with nothing but tents, then that's great, too. What it comes down to is that if you can find the space and you are safe then you are free to camp on your Big Balla site how you see fit.
How far is parking from the grounds?
Parking is extra fresh this year. Not only is the main parking site RIGHT THERE, but in case that gets a bit too overloaded there is a back up parking lots RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET.
Is my stuff going to be safe in my tent?
You have to realize that if you put your valuables in your tent, the only thing keeping someone from rummaging through them is a thin piece of material and a zipper. NO. Your stuff will probably not be safe in your tent. Your best bet is to keep any important items on you or in your car. We can't put it out there enough; the parking lot is practically a 30 second walk from the campsites this year. It will be very easy for you to go back and forth to get your things.
Are tents provided?
No. You must bring everything that you need for camping (tents, pillows, blankets, etc.).
How many people can stay on one campsite?
If you want to bunk up with your buddies in one tent then that's fine, just don't push the limits of safety and comfort. The important thing to realize this year is that because camping is free and each person is allowed to pop their own tent anywhere in the camping areas.
Is camping pre-assigned or first come first served?
It is first come first served. Camping is free with the purchase of your Gathering of the Juggalos ticket. There are no designated campsites and the only actual sites are the Big Balla campsites.
Can my ride drop me off in the parking lot?
There is no problem with your ride dropping you off in the parking lot.
