• Steps to renting an RV with Urban Camp Weekend

• Purchase an RV space on the website
• Purchase a UCW general admission ticket on UCW’s website (per person)
• Rent an RV thru a selected company or bring your own RV
• Email info@urbaneventsglobal.com RV details as listed above
• The person renting the RV must be on site to receive it and do the walk-thru; Urban Camp Weekend will not accept the liability.

(this information is needed 6 weeks before the event)

There are no refunds. Tickets (general admission) are transferable to other people, other Urban Camp Weekend events, or Urban Events Global events. Transfers and name changes are $65 per ticket. The deadline for all transfers is 45 days before the event. If you purchase/sell a ticket, it’s your responsibility to make sure the $65 fee has been paid, and the ticket is actually transferable.

RV’s, previously transferred and/or discounted tickets are non-transferable to other events or people. If you originally bought a transferred ticket, special promo ticket, or won a free ticket, it is non-refundable or transferable to another event or person. Tickets purchased on payment plans that aren’t complete, can not be transferred.

If you purchased a ticket for someone else and forgot to put their name in the notes section during purchase, they MUST check in with you. All transfers are done and confirmed in writing via email to info@urbaneventsglobal.com.
Transfer Process:
1. Log in to your PayPal or CashApp account, and send the transfer fee to us; note in the comment section “Transfer ticket to ________(first and last name of the attendee).” Our CashApp is $BlackTravelTube and PayPal info@urbancampweekend.com
2. Email info@urbaneventsglobal.com advising the following:

• You are no longer attending Urban Camp Weekend.
• The transfer fee was paid via PayPal.
• Include the first and last name of the new ticket holder.
• Carbon copy (cc) the new ticket holder on the email.

3. All campers are required to check-in at registration upon arrival to the campground with their ID (check-in starts at 8am). Please bring a copy of the transfer ticket email to ensure the correct names are reflected in the system. Check-in/registration on Thursday and Friday ends at 7:00pm. If you purchased a ticket at the last minute (within a day or two of the event,) we may have to pull you up in a different system. Be prepared to show your mobile receipt just in case.

Tents are set up on a first come first serve basis anywhere that’s not already roped off specifically by UCW. Well over 94% of our guests will be pitching a tent, so the earlier you arrive, the better.

Yes, it’s mother nature, and this is a camping trip. We can not control mother nature. We suggest you dress and pack accordingly.

Registration times are very important. Our registration on Thursday and Friday ENDS at 7:00 PM. Any cars showing up later than those times may have to wait until the next day. In other words, showing up at midnight to 3am in the morning no longer works.

When you pull into the campground, staff will direct you where to park. You will NOT be able to drive to your spot and unload this year, due to the number of campers. Cars that are not properly parked will be towed at the owner’s expense. ONLY THURSDAY ARRIVALS WILL BE ABLE TO “BRIEFLY” UNLOAD NEAR THEIR ACTUAL CAMPING SPOT.

When purchasing group tickets, you are responsible for checking in early and getting the wristbands for the group. For groups of over 20 people, we will offer a 20% discount, however, the payment must be made in full. Email info@urbaneventsglobal.com for payment details.

Yes (but contact us first; additional charges will apply) Each guest staying in the RV must be registered and purchase a general admission ticket. We have dry camping /boondocking, and limited 30 amp and 50 amp campsites with electricity, water and dumping supplied for the RV or 5th wheel pop-up camper. Again, an RV reservation is for the RV only; each individual must purchase a ticket. Also note, the RV hookups currently on sale are for dry camping/boondocking unless otherwise noted. These RV’s will need to have their water tanks full and be prepared to use their own generator.

Yes, you can arrive as early as 9 a.m. on Friday morning. If you want to arrive earlier in the week (ie Monday- Tuesday), pay the campground directly. Wednesday arrivals, Cashapp $BlackTravelTube $20 per person. If you’d like to arrive on Thursday, please select the Thursday “early bird” day pass on our site (registration starts at 9am), in addition to your general admission tickets. (You will be escorted off the property if you don’t have the proper wristbands); IF YOU PURCHASED AN RV, YOUR THURSDAY EARLY BIRD TICKETS WILL ALLOW KEY ACCESS TO YOUR LODGING (a Thursday ticket is still necessary.)

RV Boondocking Checklist for Urban Camp Weekend
Pre-Departure Preparation
Water Tanks

Confirm Fresh Water Pre-Fill: Arrange with the RV rental company to have your fresh water tank filled before arrival. Confirm the tank capacity and verify it’s full on pickup day.
Understand Tank Functions: Familiarize yourself with the fresh, grey, and black water tanks’ capacities and gauges.
Generator and Fuel

Ensure Generator Readiness: Make sure your RV has a functioning generator. Inspect the generator, check for any issues, and ensure it has enough oil.
Gasoline Containers: Bring extra gasoline in approved containers. A 5-gallon container is usually a good start, but check the generator’s consumption rate for accurate planning.
Generator Noise Policy: Respect quiet hours (10 PM – 7 AM). Consider using a low-decibel generator if you’re sensitive to noise or want a quieter experience.
Battery and Electrical

Battery Charge: Charge your RV’s house batteries fully before arriving. This will reduce the initial demand on the generator.
Solar Panels (Optional): If available, bring portable solar panels to charge the RV batteries as an alternative power source during daylight hours.
Waste Disposal

Bring RV-Safe Toilet Paper: Regular toilet paper can clog RV sewage systems. RV-safe options dissolve easily and are less likely to cause issues.
Waste Tank Capacity: Monitor tank levels to avoid unpleasant surprises. If needed, discuss with the event organizers about waste disposal options nearby.

Water Conservation & Resource Management
Conserve Water

Use Event Showers and Restrooms: Save your onboard water by using the Urban Camp Weekend facilities whenever possible.
Short Showers in the RV (if needed): Keep RV showers quick and efficient. Use low-flow settings and turn off water while lathering.
Washing Dishes Efficiently: Consider disposable dishes or limit dishwashing to essential items only. Wash with minimal water, and avoid leaving water running.
Energy Use

Generator Usage Guidelines: Use the generator for essentials only and turn it off when not needed to conserve gasoline.
Battery-Saving Tips: Use battery-operated or solar-powered lights and fans if available to avoid draining RV batteries.

RV Boondocking FAQ for Urban Camp Weekend

1. How do I arrange for the RV’s water tank to be prefilled?
Contact your rental company before pickup to confirm a prefilled water tank. This is especially important for boondocking since there won’t be water hookups on site. Verify the tank’s capacity to estimate water usage over the weekend.

2. How can I conserve water while boondocking?
Event Facilities: Make the most of Urban Camp Weekend’s provided showers and restrooms. This keeps your water supply and waste tanks available for emergency use.
Mindful Showers: If you need to shower in the RV, keep it brief. Wet, lather, and rinse to save as much water as possible.

3. How long does the generator need to run to recharge RV batteries?
On average, a generator may need to run for 1–2 hours to recharge batteries, depending on the charge level and battery condition. It’s best to monitor battery levels and charge during the day.

4. How much gasoline will I need for the generator?
Generators generally use about 1 gallon of gasoline every 3–5 hours. Plan to bring enough gas for your expected usage, considering time for phone charging, cooking, and heating or cooling needs. Extra gasoline containers are essential.

5. How do I know when the waste tanks are full?
Most RVs have indicator lights showing tank levels. Watch these indicators closely, as full tanks can lead to clogs or spills.

6. What should I do if I run out of fresh water or have full waste tanks during the weekend?
If you run out of water, use the event facilities exclusively. For waste tanks, reach out to event organizers in case there’s an on-site disposal solution or nearby service.

7. Can I use my own portable generator instead of the RV’s built-in one?
Yes, you can use a portable generator. Make sure it’s safe, RV-compatible, and follows event guidelines. Remember to bring a power cord compatible with your RV’s electrical needs.

8. What safety precautions should I follow when storing and handling gasoline?
Use approved gas containers and store them outside the RV in a secure place. Avoid keeping gasoline in areas where it can overheat, and always handle fuel away from open flames or heat sources.

Having these essentials prepared and knowing how to manage your resources will make for a smooth and enjoyable boondocking experience at Urban Camp Weekend!

Absolutely!
