Camping at imagine music festival is one component of the fest where attendees can decide if they want to partake or not… and only the strong survive.
We love it and we hate it, but sometimes it just makes more sense to spend a few nights in a tent versus spending money for a hotel or Airbnb. With Imagine Music Festival being a hefty drive from the city, camping at the Atlanta Motor Speedway grounds is the way to go. Even though there are not many trees, the event is a lot later this year than last; overcast skies and breezy days are typical for late September in Georgia. Luckily, Imagine is car-camping, so that makes this whole ordeal a hell of a lot easier.
Here is how to prepare for the camping itself, plus the various activities offered exclusively at the campgrounds.

Make sure you have all the necessities.
A camping checklist will save your life last-minute as you frantically gather your belongings. It may be obvious, but a solid tent is absolutely necessary for a good experience. Being in the South, sudden storms can be heinous. Double check that your tent has a rain fly, just in case.
A few other musts: a canopy, tarps, and tapestries. The little things add up, but you will be so thankful that you brought them.
Check out the ideal full packing list below.
Cooking… yay or nay?
Regardless of whether or not you plan on cooking, keeping your food fresh is half the battle. Dry ice (underneath regular ice) for the cooler will make your food/drinks last much longer than normal… no one wants to drink a warm beer. Ensure your containers of food are stored and packed tightly. You can shop top-notch coolers here. Give the festival rules a check, and see what their policy is on small gas stoves, these could save you time and tons of effort!
