Lightning in a Bottle at Buena Vista Lake, California, sells RV passes with or without power.
What the official site says
- A General RV pass gets you into the RV campgrounds with no power, water or sewer. RV with Power puts you on the power grid.
- Individual RV passes come in Short (under 27 feet) and Long (over 27 feet). RV Group Campsites are 40 by 40 feet with power for one RV and room for tents.
- Generators: the camping page lists generators of any kind as not allowed in the campgrounds. The packing list bans portable gas generators and allows solar and battery-powered ones. Don't plan on running a generator; a powered pass is the sure way to get AC.
- There's no sewer dump on the way out, and RVs can't leave and come back once placed.
- LIB points renters to El Monte RV and also sells pre-set Easy Peasy RVs.
- LIB 2027 is listed for May 26 to 30.
- We couldn't confirm the official 2027 RV price yet. Check libfestival.org when passes go on sale.

Rental tips
Bakersfield is close, and LA is about 2 hours away. Late May in the Central Valley gets hot and dusty, so pack dust gear for the RV too: see our dust cleanup guide before a cleaning fee finds you.
