One option for Coachella is flying into Los Angeles and renting an RV with some friends and splitting the cost. There's a special parking lot for the RVs at Coachella that's a pretty decent distance from the gates. Kind of gives you the best of both worlds, you can relax and hang out with other Coachellers if you want, but with the luxury of AC and a fridge.
Tented it a few times at Lake Cahuilla which is about the only real campground in the area. Whoever gets there first gets the one or two trees in the shade. The rest get to wake up at 6AM in the 110F heat.
But if the driving in/out of Coachella has actually gotten worse than a few years ago, yikes.
