Living in a tent for a week next to hundreds of thousands of our closest friends is a challenging feat. Hence the reason I call this more of an experience rather than a vacation.

The campground has a lot of Red One Markets with very overpriced basics. They have lots of port-o-potties stationed everywhere, so we were no more than 2 “blocks” away from a bathroom. They had a few shower houses, with “public showers”, basically a huge room of showers with curtains for privacy…definitely a place to see naked people. They also had some private showers, which normally had lines. Those were larger and co-ed. The kiddos were able to go in together, and I could go in with them or with the husband, because showering there is kind of a juggle when it is basically a kitchen sprayer.

Ouyside mirrors and electric on the side of the shower building Line for private showers Private shower stalls were just like the common ones, only a bit bigger and with locking doors Red One Market merch shelf
The campground and the airport grounds had plenty of dumpsters and trash cans, even recycling. Buses ran every 20-30 minutes and even though during the busy times it took nearly an hour to get from the airport to the closest bus stop to us, it definitely was a welcome reprieve on the feet after all the walking.
Fun to walk through for a shower! Lots of trash and recycling options Bus ride. Cramped, but easier than walking
The campground also had laundromats. $2 for a regular cold load in the wash for 36 minutes. Dryers were .25 cents for 6 minutes!

Honestly, we only used the dryer a little. I had a clothes line strung up on the canopy, so we lined dried some things. Everyone seemed very respectful of who came first, so we had no issues getting in and out of there.
There were bus stations at the campground that would take you to the local Target. I’m sure that’s a great option for people who come with RVs and no backup car, but since we had vehicles, it was easy enough to leave the campground to run out for items.
