Is camping farther away really that bad?

word. both years my crew went to wal mart the night before.

from what i understand if you go in wed. night, they put you in the james bond area? we aren't going to wal mart this year, and i am a bit bummed cause i don't want to wait in the lines on the highway for hours. I personally like being in the church area. Both years we waited for less than an hour to get in... and I cannot stress the cleanliness of the port o johns compared to the closer locations.

i will be coming from nashville so i'll be heading south on 24. my plan was to turn around at exit 127 and get back on 24 heading north so i can enter thru exit 112.

i'm getting to manchester around 6am thursday morning.

i've heard the cops close the exit at some point so people can't turn around to head north on 24 to enter at exit 112.

any1 know how far the next exit is after 127 (heading south on 24)??

if it's not too far, i may turn around there so i don't get stuck waiting to get into the farm via exit 127.

i'd rather spend more time on the farm then in my car waiting to get in.

theres always the option of getting in Wed night, and moving into tent only on Thurs! I just hope all this talk of Tent Only getting even smaller doesn't hold true *crosses fingers*

Here's a question I've been trying to find an answer to for a few weeks: What if you are camping in Access but you come in on Wednesday night? Do they send you over to Access? Do they park you somewhere in BFE and then send you over to Access in the morning?

I'll be arriving in Manchester on wednesday night but I will be in an RV.... anyone know if they let RV's in early and if there is an equivilant BFE- or will we just get placed in a random RV lot.

Thanks

It's been different for the last 3 years coming North on 24, however most years a good 25 miles out I see cops at the top of every off ramp. Pretty much I know as soon as I hit the whindy part of 24 through the "mountains" I need to mind my driving P's and Q's.

If it's just you and whoever is in your vehicle, yes. If you've got a convoy, you're gonna need companion passes. At least that's how it was a few years ago when I had a hc tag. Either way, best not to take my word for it and email the roo folks to find out the foreallyreal deal for this year. You know how they like to change stuff.

I learned so much last year and really, the less time spent in camp, the better. I am bringing a handle of booze, a case, beef jerky, and chips. All other food items I will buy on site. I was in BFE last year and lost so much time running back to camp to cook and drink. Booze and cooking should be the last things you want to spend your 4 days worrying about!

^^Nice. I was worried about that actually. I thought it was going to be a hassle if we went in on Wednesday night.

Well, I wouldn't exactly call hanging out in the parking lot fun. Im with you.

I prefered camping far from Centeroo. Less traffic/noise, plus it was cleaner than a lot of campsites I saw closer to Centeroo.

I didn't mind the walk, it was always fun and I lost a few lbs.

Bring earplugs. If you are worried about a good night's sleep, you'll get it no matter where you are... if you have earplugs. BFE doesn't always = quiet. In '07 I was in BFE, but my neighbors had a giant nitrous tank. Not saying that's a good or bad thing, just that all I heard for four days was "PSSSSHHHHHHHHHHTTT!!!" about every two minutes. Then someone with an empty balloon in their hand would fall down in front of my campsite. Doesn't matter where you camp, just bring earplugs so you can choose when you want to sleep. Closer to Centeroo gives you a shorter walk, but BFE gives you a whole different community and a much more interesting walk.
