Tribe: A group of Wasteland Weekend attendees who go all-out and build a group identity through coordinated costumes and a fully-themed encampment.
If your tribe makes the cut, your tribe will get special discounts and the privilege of inclusion in the themed area of the event (as opposed to general camping).
Costumes: As mandated by the event, all attendees must be in post-apocalyptic costume.
Campsites: All tents and accessories must be theme-appropriate. That means no rented RVs, and not the tents and camping chairs that you bought at REI 2 years ago (unless they have been beaten up appropriately or disguised). The less traditional your camping gear is, the better.
Vehicles: In general, we will most likely accept any vehicles that are pre-1990, flat-black, or just look like a dusty, oxidized wreck. If your vehicle has a brightly-colored or shiny, new-looking paint job, it will probably not be accepted (unless it’s coated in a thick layer of dirt or dust). Any vehicles that are not theme-appropriate must be hidden by theme-appropriate covers or parked in the general camping area. Please see our guide on making your vehicle look post-apocalyptic.
Wasteland Weekend reserves the right to prohibit any vehicles, structures, or items it deems unfit for the look of the themed area. (Any unfit property can be stored outside the gates of the themed area in the general camping area or hidden from view.) We are trying to create a convincing 360-degree post-apocalyptic environment. We hope you understand.
