The Wildflower Experience is all about building your own personal experience for the weekend! Wildflower is best known as the “Woodstock of Triathlon”, but we have come a long way from love, peace, music and tent camping in the great outdoors. While we feel its important to stay true to our roots and keep your Wildflower experience special, we are now able to offer some upgraded camping/lodging alternatives.  Whether you are traveling without camping gear, want the comforts of home or just love the idea of a complete VIP experience our new partnerships are sure to make your Wildflower Experience one that you will remember for years to come. Don’t let the whole camping thing scare you away! For those who love camping, the same beautiful campsites are waiting for you – surrounded by Spring wildflowers and star-filled nights.  Get ready to enjoy simpler times at a truly special place on the Central Coast of California – Lake San Antonio, Monterey, CA

General Camping passes are available as per-person, per-night. They can be purchased for Thursday-Sunday for General Camping areas. Good for tent camping or for use with self-contained RVs at non-electrical hook-up sites.

General Camping spots are on a first come, first serve basis, and include the festival fees. Arrive early for the best camping locations. Water and picnic tables are available at many spots and there is always a fire pit nearby.

This per person rate allows you to book now and plan vehicles and drivers later.  As long as everyone in your car has a camping pass, there are no additional charges! (Ages 16 and under = free).

Electrical Hook-up sites (Thursday – Sunday)  •  LIMITED AVAILABLITY

Do you have an RV/Trailer and need an electrical hookup site? This weekend package covers the electrical hookup upgrade + nightly camping rate.

You can specify your campground area choice during registration. These passes are not valid for Lynch sites, which are restricted to Sponsors, Exhibitors, Staff and Lakeside RV packages only.

Upon arrival, you will be able to set up camp at one of the limited electrical hookup sites in your registered campground. These spaces are very limited.

Electrical RV Hook-up passes include Thursday-Sunday camping for all the people that arrive in the FIRST vehicle. Any additional guests arriving in a separate vehicle will need to purchase individual General Camping passes.

Our Wildflower Staff will be working closely with all registered Triathlon Teams & Clubs, with over 45 adult members attending the event for the weekend, to find sufficient group camping areas to accommodate the group. Teams & Clubs must register their members by February to qualify for this benefit.

Group areas do not include full hook up sites so these groups will need to bring a self-contained RV / Trailer units.

Members can register for General Camping passes, but must indicate their Club/Team/Group affiliation from the “Triathlon Club” drop-down menu during the camping registration process.

Glamping means “Glamorous Camping”

Charming, comfortable, and stylish vacation rentals small enough for a romantic getaway and large enough for families and groups.

When searching for a vacation rental look in Bradley, Oak Shores, Lake Nacimiento, BeeRock, Bryson,or Paso Robles.  One of the nearest options is Oak Shores, a gated community located on the North Shore of Lake Nacimiento, just 8 miles from the event site.

Vacation rentals may be booked through VBRO.com, Homeaway.com, Airbnb.com or any local vacation rental agency.

Lake San Antonio is about one hour from either King City or Paso Robles. Once you reach the lake it may take from twenty minutes to an hour to get to the race site. Plan ahead. You can never arrive too early but you won’t want to be late. Parking is limited near the transition area. Triathletes on Saturday will be directed to park at an upper parking lot and walk or ride their bike and gear down the hill (1-2 miles) so come prepared.
