About Coachella

Coachella has evolved from a music festival into a cultural phenomenon where the world's biggest artists, most influential brands, and discerning festivalgoers converge in the California desert. The festival's two-weekend format and emphasis on premium experiences create significant demand for high-end RV accommodations. The artist compound, brand activation village, and VIP camping areas all rely heavily on RV infrastructure to deliver the elevated experiences Coachella is known for.

Why RV Fleets for Coachella?

The desert setting of the Empire Polo Club—90 minutes from LA with limited local infrastructure—makes RV fleets essential for artist accommodations, production support, and VIP hospitality. Hotels in the Coachella Valley book up months in advance at premium rates, making RV alternatives both practical and cost-effective for extended crew stays. The festival's emphasis on Instagram-worthy aesthetics also drives demand for custom-wrapped and beautifully appointed units.

Artist Compound Units

Luxury coaches and star wagons for headline and supporting artists. Coachella's artist compound is legendary for its amenities, and RV accommodations must meet world-class standards.

VIP & Safari Camping

Premium RV setups for Coachella's upscale camping options. Many VIP packages include or allow RV accommodations that need to match the festival's aesthetic standards.

Brand Experience Vehicles

Custom-wrapped and experiential RVs for brand activations. Coachella attracts massive brand investment, and RV-based activations are a festival staple.

Production Basecamp

Production offices, crew accommodations, and technical support units for the massive production operation that makes Coachella possible.
