Important Dates 2015

Everyone entering Estrella War is required to stop at the Front Gate located on the entrance road to the site. There you pay an entrance fee (or check-in if you used Pre-Registration to pay before the event), and complete liability waivers and paperwork for the vehicles/trailers you have with you.

Before leaving the Front Gate, each attendee receives a Site Token or Youth Token, along with pet tags and Car Tags for the vehicles, trailers and RVs they plan to use and/or park at the event. Attendees must wear their Site/Youth Tokens while at the event as proof they paid the proper entrance fee. Car Tags must be visibly displayed on all parked vehicles, trailers and RVs at the site. We ask all attendees to review the Site Rules before they arrive so they understand these guidelines.

If you wish to participate in the Wet RV Parking lot raffle, please follow the instructions located under Wet/Dry RV under parking.

Important Restrictions

• You may not enter the site to unload or setup camp unless everyone in the vehicle has paid an entrance fee and has a Site Tag.

The driver can wait for the vehicle at Front Gate while this is done.
• If you arrive via a livery service (taxi, shuttle, limo), your gear must be unloaded at the Front Gate parking area and the service vehicle will not be allowed to enter the event and drive to your camp. Please make prior arrangements with your camping group to help move your items to the campsite.
• If you arrive the day of pre-registration and are not pre-registered, you will not be allowed entrance; even if you arrive with people who are pre-registered to arrive that day. Only those who are pre-registered for arrival will be allowed to enter the site. General admission does not begin until 8:00 am the following day and anyone who is not pre-registered must wait until then to be allowed entrance to the war.
