Festival Campgrounds

Festival Campgrounds, also marketed as Rancho 51, is a privately run campground about two miles from the Empire Polo Club grounds in Coachella and Indio, the site of the Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals. During festival weekends the property fills with tent and RV camping under a date-palm grove, offering an alternative to the on-site festival campgrounds with amenities like showers, restrooms, and shuttle access to the polo grounds. Booking is tied to the festival calendar rather than year-round stays, so availability is concentrated around the spring Coachella and Stagecoach dates each year. It functions as event-specific camping rather than a general-purpose RV park, but it is a genuine, bookable destination for anyone riding into the Coachella Valley for one of the festivals.
