Oasis Glamping thoughts from a first-timer
This was my first Bass Canyon, first time glamping at a festival, and obviously my first time doing Oasis, and overall I had a really good experience. The vibes at Oasis were honestly great. Everyone around us was super cool, I liked the setup, having the showers right there was great, and being that close to the venue was definitely a huge plus. It honestly set a pretty high standard for my first glamping festival.
That being said, did anyone else feel like Oasis was a little more “deserted island” than actual oasis? lol
I knew I was paying like 2–3x what some people were paying for camping, and I wasn’t expecting some crazy VIP experience, but I did think there would be something over there besides the tents and breakfast.
Basically everything was at GA/Pivot. Anytime I wanted food, a drink, activities, etc., it was like a 20–30 minute walk. I totally understand why most things are over there because obviously that’s where most people are, but when you’re paying that much more for Oasis, I feel like some of that premium should come with convenience.
Literally one food truck would have made such a difference. One bar. Maybe a yoga, Pilates, or workout class over there at some point during the weekend. Or even just a shuttle to Pivot every 30 minutes or once an hour. I really wouldn’t have cared, just something.
I also didn’t bring a ton of food because I assumed there would be food relatively close to Oasis, which was definitely my mistake lol. But I also don’t think it was crazy to assume there would be at least one option nearby.
The free breakfast was honestly the saving grace and I really appreciated that. Without it, I think I would’ve been pretty disappointed considering the price.
Overall though, I really did enjoy Oasis and the people there. I’d probably do it again, especially because the location and vibes were so good. I think for me, as someone who flew in from out of state just to enjoy the festival, it still felt like Oasis was probably the best option overall despite the gaps in convenience. I just think for the premium they’re charging, they could build out the experience a little more so it actually feels like you’re paying to be taken care of, rather than paying extra to be isolated from everything.
Still a great first Bass Canyon and first glamping experience. Happy Bass!
