All vehicles staying in the camping areas need to park away from the road. Please place the interactive areas toward the front of the camp. This will ensure that YOUtopia stays engaging and fun for all. Vehicles are not allowed to drive around the event and should stay stationary until it’s time to leave.
RVs or cars that are an integral part of your art or camp infrastructure are allowed to park in-camp with pre-event approval from our placement team. You can contact them at placement@sdyoutopia.com. You must have the Support Vehicle Pass visibly placed on your vehicle. Please be conscious to park your vehicle to the back of the camp and away from the roadway.

RV denotes any mobile and/or hard–sided vehicular structure you plan to sleep, eat, party and generally live in during the event. This includes; RVs, travel trailers/fifth wheels/toy haulers/etc. Camper vans and Cab over campers on a pickup truck are NOT considered an RV so you will just need the standard car pass to park your vehicle.

There will be two RV parking options
Yes, please contact placement@sdyoutopia.com.
No. RV’s must park in the designated RV Parking Areas. This allows our thorough faire to remain engaging and not be blocked by large vehicles.
This site does not offer those options—you will need to plan accordingly. There are places nearby on the way in and out of the event that offer these services.
