Harmony Park Music Garden

Planning your stay at Harmony Park can help make insure you're comfort and happiness. The tips that follow are based on my experiences at festivals.

Preparation is the key to any successful festival road trip.

While this camping checklist is far from complete, it will serve as a staring point for you to develop a list suited to your needs. We are trying to cover as many types of road trips as possible.

Use this camping checklist each time you plan a festival road trip to help keep from forgetting anything. If you do not currently use a camping checklist, we recommended that you start! A good suggestion is to print the camping checklist, laminate it and keep it where it is easily accessible, perhaps in your truck or recreational vehicle.

As you continue camping, you will get a better idea of what you want to add or remove from this camping checklist.
