5 Reasons To Rent A Camper Van For Your Next Festival
1. Comfort
Music festivals can be exhausting, with long hours of standing and dancing. But with an Escape camper van, you’ll have a comfortable place to relax and recharge. Did you know our camper vans comfortably sit and sleep 4-5 people in the
Del Mar Pop Top or with an additional rooftop sleeper? That means room for the whole crew! The “dining room” converts into an oversized queen bed and there’s a full kitchen with a sink, stove, and fridge in the back, so you aren’t limited to trail mix and PB&Js. String up some fairy lights and you’ve got yourself the ultimate setup!
2. Convenience
With a camper van, you won’t have to worry about finding a hotel or setting up a tent. All you need is to park and you’re ready to start the party! The camper van has everything you need, including a bed, kitchen, and
11 depot locations across the US (most of which are near international airports)! Our
camper vans come fully equipped so you can pick up the van and hit the road all ready to go.
3. Accessories
Don’t have all your own camp gear? No problem! We offer bedding and kitchen kits, picnic tables, solar showers (no more waiting in long lines for the campground shower!), AUX cords, sunshade awnings, propane, and more for you to further enhance your trip. All of your
festival camping essentials and accessories are ready when you pick them up.
4. Style
Each of our camper vans is decked out with
custom designs by talented artists in LA rather than being covered in branding. Plus, it’s easy to make friends with fellow camper van travelers and art lovers alike when your campsite looks this cool!
5. Budget
When you factor in the cost of a hotel, food, and transportation, camping in an Escape camper van can actually
save you way more money than you’d expect.
Camper vans are more economical than RVs and cheaper than hotel rooms. Plus, you can split the cost among your friends and you’ll get your vehicle and lodging all in one for a low price!
Bonus: you can use the camper van’s kitchen to cook your own meals and avoid insane vendor pricing, which will save you even more.

Read some previous festival-goers’ reviews of Escape:
“Told everyone we were in a band when we took it to Bonnaroo because of how sick our van looked. This thing was a dream on wheels.” – Harry
“Dear Escape Camper Vans! I just had the best experience of my life renting a van from you. I took the van around California; visited Yosemite and Big Sur… but most importantly, your van CHANGED my life at the music festival, Lightning in a Bottle. It really changed my entire festival world and I have been festing for 7 years. I think your vans are so perfect for festival go-ers because as soon as you’re the kid with the coolest van, you’re the coolest kid at the fest. Thank you so much!!!” – Julia
“The camper van we got far exceeded my expectations! It was clean, quirky and a big hit with friends at the festival we attended. It was a smooth ride. The bed was so comfortable, I could’ve slept all day. The fridge in the back kept beers extra cold and the design on the outside caught a lot of eyes. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a unique, memorable ride…riding a unicorn could be the only thing cooler than this!” – K Barry
