FAQ
Is there cell phone service?

Will there be water provided?
Absolutely! Please do not bring any plastic water bottles. We will have multiple faucets with fresh mountain spring water, please bring a refillable container to help reduce waste.
Can I bring my own alcohol?
No. Alcohol will not be permitted and will be confiscated at the gate upon check-in. Please help us keep the line moving by just leaving it home.
Will there be a bar?
There will be two bars. Full service with cocktails, beer and wine - reminder LRD is a cash only event

All ticketing issues will be handled by the ticketing site directly, not LRD.
What's parking like?
There is limited parking so please carpool. There are two lots - car camping and general parking. You will be directed to the appropriate lot at check-in. From the general parking lot, campers carry their stuff down to the lower property (about a 10 minute walk). There is no camping in the general parking lot.
How old do I have to be to attend? Can I bring a minor if supervised by a guardian?
We are a strictly 21+ event. You cannot bring a minor. All persons, regardless of age, will be ID’d at check-in and you will be turned away if you can not provide a valid government ID.
What's the weather like this time of year?
Expect warm days and chilly nights. We are at high elevation so the temperature can drop pretty low at night, make sure to bring proper layering.
Can I bring my dog?
No. Absolutely no dogs are allowed and this will be strictly enforced - you will be turned away with no refund if you bring any animals.
Will there be ice for sale?
Yes.

LEAVE NO TRACE
Lost River Disco is a "leave it better, leave it beautiful" event. The land we gather on is held sacred to many people and was founded on environmental education and sustainability. It is important to take care of this land which is so special to us. We encourage everyone to bring as little as possible and avoid having too much waste. We expect all members of our community to "pack it in, pack it out". If you see a piece of trash on the ground, please pick it up, you never know who is watching; it is contagious and you may inspire others to do the same. If everyone plays their part in cleaning up after themselves there will be much less work to do in cleaning up after each other, and it will help ensure a future for Lost River Disco at Idaho Basecamp.
Some things we should do to lower our footprint...
CARPOOL - it is good for the environment and takes up less space at Basecamp
Bring a water bottle - we will not be providing bottled water, we have just about the freshest mountain spring water available for free
Share - coordinate with friends and bring only the bare necessities. The less we bring in, the less we have to bring out
