Coachella Camping Rules: What You Need to Know
Coachella offers tent camping, car camping and preferred car camping. Car camping appears to be the most popular among the three, and one of the most affordable options, since you’re basically paying for the parking space.
For car camping, Coachella allows trucks and passenger vans, but no RVs, trailers, buses, or motorcycles. There’s no restriction on the number of people and tents allowed, however, only one vehicle is allowed in each camping site.
Basic car camping is first-come-first-serve, but preferred car camping is located at Lot 8 and you can arrive “at your leisure,” per Coachella.
Coachella’s car camping sites measure 30 x 10 feet, tent camping sites are 15 x 10 feet.
For preferred camping, you can choose between a two-person lodge, or four-person tent. The 8 x 12 x 8-foot lodge includes two GA or VIP passes to the music festival. The four-person tent measures 12 x 14, and it’s fully pitched, so need to worry about putting it together. It also comes with four sleeping cots, sleeping bags, pillows, chairs and a cooler.
Coachella covers camping essentials like sleeping bags and pillows for VIP campers. There’s also a 24-hour concierge, overnight parking, exclusive bathrooms and showers, cell phone charging stations and Wifi in select areas.
Camping passes start at $149 at Coachella.com, but you can also find them at Vivid Seats, and you might be able to score last-minute tickets at StubHub, although they were sold out at press time.

Mother’s Day is exactly one month away. Have you started shopping yet?
If the answer is no, we’ve found a hilarious throw pillow that your mom just might love – if she’s a fan of the original Mean Girls.
Tina Fey’s 2004 comedy still lives rent-free in a lot of our heads, but even if your mom isn’t familiar with Regina George, Gretchen Wieners, Cady Heron and The Plastics, she’ll probably get a laugh out of this handmade pillow inspired by Amy Poehler’s infamous Mean Girls quote: “I’m not like a regular mom, I’m a cool mom.”
Revolve

Measuring 8 x 14-inches, the throw pillow is hand-embroidered in wool and backed in cotton velvet, per the product description. Besides the laugh factor, your mom will appreciate how much time it takes to make Furbish pillows. Each pillow takes around 20 hours to stitch by hand, according to the company.

Selena Gomez has weighed in. After coming across a post from a fan account on Instagram alleging that she once had a romance with Jack Schlossberg — aka the grandson of 35th President John F. Kennedy — the singer-actress took to the comments to give the real story Friday (April 12).
Keeping her answer short and sweet, Gomez simply wrote underneath the post, “Never met this human sorry.”
Schlossberg is the son of Caroline Kennedy (whose parents are JFK and Jackie Kennedy Onassis) and Edwin Schlossberg.
Trending on Billboard
Fans couldn’t get enough of the Only Murders in the Building star’s frankness, with one person commenting, “these rumours are CRAZY … Well either way Love you gurl.”
“tell them gurl,” added another Selenator.
Members of American political dynasties aside, the 31-year-old Rare Beauty founder is currently in a relationship with producer Benny Blanco. On the same day she shut down the rumor about Schlossberg, Gomez also posted a sweet photo of her beau on her Story.
“I love you,” she captioned the pic, which finds the “Eastside” musician kissing her hand as they pose together in a car.
She and Blanco first went public with their romance in December, with Gomez confirming via Instagram comments that they’d been together for six months at that point. In March, the “Lose You to Love Me” artist celebrated Blanco’s birthday on the social media platform, writing that his “emotional endurance, positive disposition, unbelievable talent (that blows me away), undeniable humor and loving, kind heart absolutely kill me.”
Later that month, she commemorated their “first virtual date” with another post on Stories, writing, “#longdistancerelationship vibes.”
Blanco produced Gomez’s recent single “Single Soon,” which debuted at No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September. She followed it up with “Love On” in February, peaking at No. 56 on the chart.
The tracks serve as pre-cursors to the the star’s highly anticipated fourth studio album — which she’s expected to finish at some point in 2024 — although neither “Single Soon” nor “Love On” will necessarily make the tracklist.
“I would like to say that I am working towards an album, but I don’t know if those songs would be on that project,” she told Billboard in March. “I feel like I’m brewing, and I’m in the process of really creating some great songs, hopefully. I don’t know if they would fit with what I’m gonna go with.”
