Are You a Basic Mysteryland Camper or a Next Level Mysteryland Camper?

Have you decided which you intend to be? The choice is yours. We’ll show you how.

The moment of truth approaches. Mysteryland is this weekend and it's almost time to separate the basic campers from the next level campground overlords. Have you decided which you intend to be? The choice is yours. We'll show you how with a few simple comparisons.

TENT SWAG

Basic campers view their tent situation as a nuisance and leave it until the last minute, at which point they're invariably forced to settle with a dilapidated mess of nylon and plastic.

Next level campers build a self-sufficient ecosystem in a bubble. This way, they can live in harmony with nature long after the festival is over.

THAT BOOZE LIFE

One of the best things about festival campgrounds is the freedom to bring your own booze. It's a very long weekend, and it's tough to overestimate. Basic campers roll up like….

But next level campers can outdo all of this with just one beer…

GRILLZ

One rad thing about Mysteryland is that they encourage you to bring portable grills. With enough preparation, you could be a one-person barbecue army. Unfortunately, basic campers misinterpret the opporunity….

just kidding! F'reals, though, don't roll up with one of these…

Next level grillers already have the whole thing organized, from the grill, to the meat, to the special guest celebrity chef….

ROMANCE

Basic campers end up fostering their latent dendrophilia and making out with trees

Next level campers get married at the Mysteryland chapel

RESPECT

Remember, you're on the hallowed grounds of Woodstock '69. Do what you can to respect the campgrounds. Only basic campers do stuff like this…

A next level camper knows to leave the campground in a better state than when they found it…

…Happy camping, Mysteryland.
