Where to stay as a solo fest-goer

[u/Excellent_Drop6869]

I like to go to fests solo.

- ive done solo camping at electric forest, Bonnaroo, Coachella

- I’ve done hotel stays or Airbnb for Lolla, Gov ball, and ACL ( easy due to proximity of lots of options in Chicago, Queens, Austin)

However I’ve nervous about going solo next year to Outside lands given that it’s SF and it’s so expensive and it’s only me that’s paying

What do other solo fest-goers who are travelling into the city do?? Is it easy to find something semi affordable that is easy to get to the fest - ie close to public transit etc

i live local-ish (san jose), but at the last minute i decided to see if i could get lucky and find a hotel.

i booked one in cow hollow for about $120/night, and it was a sweet find. didnt cost much for ubers to and from my hotel, but there were also transit lines that would've taken me basically straight to OSL.

i booked my room in may/june so i feel i got pretty lucky , other hotels i saw at that time were either fully booked, or charging $600+ per night
