Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
My fiancee and I are coming into Nashville around noon on Thursday the 11th. We're looking to rent an RV and split it with 4 other people to help with the costs (not to mention put us closer to the action).
We'd love to get 4 others to help us out. We're looking to split it 6 ways. You don't have to drive (as it's only an hour drive) but want a nice place to sleep, chill, and meet up with friends.
We're down-to-earth and a lot of fun. This will be his 3rd Bonnaroo and her first.
Please be willing to make a good faith up-front deposit. The total cost of the RV plus RV pass will be somewhere in the neighborhood of $1600 (depending upon the rates we get once we get a full commitment of everyone--all costs will be disclosed before the final booking). So if we can get 6 people it'll be about $300 each--trust me it's well worth it in the TN summer heat.
If you're interested, you can reach us at phish518@gmail.com.
I can't really help you out, but I do have a friendly warning for you. Ever since a post made last year by some young fellows with an RV, any post that even mentions splitting an RV results in a plethora of roofie jokes. So now you've been warned
That being said, who's got the first one?
Oh yeah, and hopefully you can find someone who's interested. Chances are you'll be able to find someone around here.
I'm ok with a little hazing as long as we end up with some great people to hang out with.
The first time I went to Roo, I went to Bonnaroo I went by myself and ended up camping with some of the greatest people. I still keep in touch with them and still consider them some of my best friends.
Events like Bonnaroo offer you opportunities to really get out of your shell and meet people that you'd otherwise never have a chance to meet. This is why I'm coming back for the 3rd time and bringing the love of my life with me.

Amen!
Normally I'd help you out, but the lineup this year doesn't do it for me and I won't be going.
I'm actually thinking about starting to save now for Roo '10 for a big blowout year and rent one of the bigass family size RVs. You can get them dirt cheap if you reserve a year ahead.
I think 1600 is a little low for renting an RV in Nashville during Bonnaroo, from my looking I would think closer to 2600.
Yeah, you're right. Most of the places require minimum rental periods of 7 nights for RVs close to Bonnaroo. So we've gona slightly different route.
We've booked an RV out of Raleigh-Durham, NC area for <$1200. It comes with enough miles included (1000) to get there and back. Yes, we'll have to drive about 8 hours each way (better than the 20+ I did once when coming from up north) and we'll have to play a little extra for gas (figuring $300-$400 for the roundtrip).
But all told, $1200 + $400 = $1600, which is pretty close to the $1400. Add $150 (for the RV pass) and you get $1750. Split it 6 ways and it's <$300 a head.
I'm still trying to scrounge up some friends from home (we live in upstate, NY) and being somewhat successful (4 maybes so far). But I'd love to have this boat booked and ready to set sail soon cause I've already set down the deposit lol.
Some things that I did learn today that might be useful for others interested in renting RVs for Roo: 1) If you live in NY, you're very restricted in who you can rent from because of insurance reasons. The place you're renting from must offer an insurance binder. 2) Unless you have to, don't bother to rent in the immediate vicinity of Roo. If you're willing to drive a few hours, you'll save yourself a fortune (even with the extra gas). 3) Book early. The earlier the better. It'll score you the newer RVs at the better prices.
Hmmm maybe you should pick my group up in Asheville after Phish and we will go with you guys ;D
How many ppl you got in your group? Even if we're fully loaded, we could always pick up a few extras to help split the gas :-).
A couple of years ago we picked up some random chicks my friend met off of Craigs List. Which made for an interesting time--mainly in the entertaining people they brought back to party with us. lol
