Frequently Asked Questions
Are kids and dogs welcome?
Absolutely. Please keep in mind that our event is designed with adults in mind, so we encourage you to bring snacks, activities and play items for kids or pets along with you.
What is the Trading Post?
The trading post was a huge hit last year. Bring some woo woo or just plain cool items you no longer use or are ready to pass along and find all sorts of treasures provided by other aliens doing the same. Exchange crystals, cards, jewellery, artwork, clothing, books, and anything else you can think of. This will be open and available for the whole event.
What is the bathroom situation?
If you book a Barn Suite or Tiny Home, each has a private bathroom. There are clean & maintained bathroom/shower buildings on each side of the main barns for campers, glampers, and A-framers. There is also a single restroom available in the main building.
Who is this Camp for?
We appeal to grown up aliens looking to explore, play, learn, grow, heal and connect with other grown up aliens. We are not all woo woo or spiritual, but many are. We are a super open, accepting, inclusive, non judgmental group.
What should I bring?
Chairs and blankets, yoga mat, bug spray, sunscreen, swimsuit, towels, snacks & drinks, festival flare, costumes, yard/field games, cash for vendor market , food, or practitioner tips, items to trade at the Trading post, musical instruments if you want to share your talents, whatever else your heart desires. Bring some plain white clothes to Tie Dye and don't forget fun costumes or outfits for costume night, bring your own vibe (BYOV) Brunch, and Tea Time with Floraltwig. All of this is suggested not mandatory. Show up whatever way feels best!
What is the closest Airport?
Nashville Airport (BNA) is only about a 30 minute drive from Starstruck Farm. Refer to our  Ride Share channel on our DISCORD PAGE to connect with other attendees exploring those options.
If I stay offsite do I still need an event pass?
When is this awesome party?
The retreat runs from Thurs Aug 8th (3pm check in) to Sunday Aug 11th (11 am check out)
What if I get sweaty?
All main buildings as well as the Barn Suites, Tiny Homes, & A-Frames come with air conditioning. There is a communal bonfire pit to cozy up to as well as individual fire pits at each tiny home, glamping spot, and A-Frame for nights out under the stars.
I am coming solo, what are my accommodation options?
The camping or glamping spots are great for a solo Alien, and any of our accommodations can be booked for 1 despite the bed count. If you want to bunk with others and make new friends, check out our Shack Up channel on our DISCORD PAGE to find others like you! 'Shack Share' tickets are another option. These include a bed in one of the two hostel A-Frame cabins. By purchasing this ticket, you would be sharing a cabin with 2 other solo  travelers.
What's up with food?
Breakfast is served Friday-Sunday morning as well as dinner Thursday and Saturday. Â The onsite Jay Bob's Country Kitchen Restaurant will be open all day to purchase food/drinks. There are a number of stores & restaurants nearby if you prefer something offsite. *There will be vegan, gluten free and vegetarian options for provided meals.
Where's the merch?
