It comes assembled and folds out easy. $49 total shipped. It's not real light, so backyard or car-camping only. Mesh fabric breathes under you: perfect for Roo. Nice & comfortable, though I probably wouldn't recommended it for anyone over 5'10 or 220 lbs.

You think it would too much of a hassle to bring to Tent Only? I'm considering getting one of those. If not, i'll probably look to get a good deal on a cot.
I'm hauling mine down to T.O. You're welcome to use my all-terrain cart. There will be several of 'em in Tents Only.
Thanks for the offer, Whoreshack! I may certainly take you up on that...although I hate to be a burden...
Can you recommend a type of wagon that is particularly good for the trek to TO in bonnaroo? If it's reasonably priced, I may be able to put enough money together with my group and have one other cart that we can then also lend to others when we're done
Glad to hear a positive first hand review, I've been on the fence on this one for quite a while. Seemed a little too good to be true. Looks like I will be ordering it sometime this week.
I got one of those hammocks based on the reviews and it is great. Set it up in no time and it seems fairly sturdy, not cheap at all. Can't wait to see if it can get me a fewmore hours in the mornings on the farm.
From Amazon.com. Free shipping. $80 for a fairly large (rated as an "8 person") tent! You have to have $100 in your cart to get the $20 discount which brings the tent price down to $80.

I'm also looking to pick up a wagon for all the fests this summer. I'm going to a few where you can't camp by your car, so I'm thinking this will be a must. Any suggestions?

Here's a good cart from Home Depot. $100 seems like a lot, but the thing lasts like 10 years. And after a couple effortless treks across the farm, you'll wonder how you lived without one. I found mine on sale for $80 and had some friends kick in.

I have one of these for use at home and I agree, they are good. As long as you don't leave it out in the rain it'll last for many years.
My only concern/question would be how do people transport these? I guess if you have a big SUV or a pickup truck it wouldn't be much of an issue, but this sucker probably wouldn't fit in the back/trunk of most cars. It doesn't really collapse much... The sides and ends fold down but it's still a pretty big piece even with these folded down.
Yeah, my trunk and backseat were both PACKED last year. And I have to fit an extra ez-up this year somehow. No way could I fit that. Otherwise I'd do TO in a heartbeat!

I have a soccer-mom mini van. I load the cart with everything I need to set up camp Wed night and as soon as I hit the Farm the cart rolls out the back like Batman.
We have a Chevy Wagon Wheel conversion van so space isn't much of an issue luckily. I'll probably buy one of these! I'm going to Summer Camp, too, and I've heard the hike from parking to camping is brutal.

Can you or anyone else explain how to set it up? Mine just came in mail and it's supper easy to set up, but... Is there a way to keep it in place, meaning when you try and lay in it collapses in.

Put those eye-holed pegs thru the brace holes at the bottom while it's stretched out. The peg has to go all the way through. First time's a little sticky.

We don't need dirty talk like that on these forums.

As far as the Hammocks, I'm wondering how do you think they'd be for side sleepers? From the pictures, it looks like you can only sleep in them on your back..

I'd be more concerned about how it would handle uneven ground (if you get stuck).
Right now I'm between one of these hammocks and a cot. I'm thinking cot because I can have it in the tent in case it rains, and bring it outside if its nice.

That's a VERY good point...thinking I may really try my sleeping in the back of my Chrysler Pacifica on an air mattress and maybe getting the hammocks just in case....of course gonna do a mock trial set up first!!

Hey on cabelas website, they have FREE shipping on orders over $49. I just bought one cot (Trekker camp cot) for 49.99, on sale. It had 4.3 stars, and the reviews looked really well. This will be my first bonnaroo, and im going to camp under an ezup with a cot. So excited, only 70 days!!
^Cabelas is literally God's gift to anything outdoorsy.
I mean, get real. They've got a fudge shop, an aquarium, taxidermy, and a laser shooting range?! I'm surprised they don't have a daycare also. I'd honestly love to go back to go clothes and shoes shopping there. It blows any REI store out of the water. Anytime. Anywhere.
I wish they had a physical store closer to the Southeast. I've been to the one in West Virginia several times when I used to live in Pittsburgh, but other than that, I think the closest one is in N'awlins.

The laser shooting range IS the daycare, silly beast.
