We are getting our RV Wednesday night and heading that way to get in line or whatever resemblance of a line there might be. Anyone else doing this and if so what kind of time can we expect to have?
Also this is our first Roo and are more than excited.
it has some information about going in on Wednesday plus I know there are a couple of other threads about it also, I am just being too lazy to go find them to give you the links at the moment.
Welcome to Inforoo - look around. Bunches of questions have been asked and answered - the threads are there just waiting for all the new Inforoosters to read them.
-When I Hear My Name -Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground -Blue Orchid -Passive Manipulation -Red Rain -Death Letter -My Doorbell -Hotel Yorba -Same Boy You've Always Known -Lovesick -Little Ghost -We're Going to Be Friends -The Hardest Button to Button -Black Math -The Nurse -I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself
Encore: -Ball and Biscuit -Seven Nation Army -Screwdriver
If you go in Wed night you will be as far away as possible, that being said people do it every year.
Where should we want to be? Far or close?
Depends - are you there to see shows or do you want to camp where it is realitvely quiet?
If you end up in BFE - the walk in to get to Centeroo each day (and then back to your camp also) can be anywhere from 20-30 min in the heat with the sun beating down.
Or if you are close - you could be a 5-15 min walk to Centeroo which makes it each to go back to camp in the middle of the day to relax a little under your shade tent, get more water, drink a cold beer, etc. grab something to eat that you may have brought with you (save money if that is what you need to do)
I would say closer is better just because having the chance to head back to camp and chill if there is no one playing that you really really wanted to see...priceless. Even more so if you are in an RV that has A/C in the middle of the day. If you get overheated in Centeroo - you are close enough to head back to camp for 30-45 min for a break

Good advice everyone! The reason we thought about getting there Wednesday night is we want to avoid hours and hours of traffic. I figure since we have the RV by then, WTFN.

Just stay at Walmart and leave around 9am. Of course there are a lot of schools of thought on this, that is what I would do however.
You can also join the official RV camp inforoo....there was a really solid group of us last year. We will be reuniting again this year! We met up at the wally wold in kimborogh filled up and headed in. We had great spots and very like minded cool people!
As my Inebriated buddy walks out of the Porto, he yells out, "Dude...I love this place...bonnaroo thinks about everything...they even put beer holders next to the toilet!"
Had to break it to him that that was the urnal. Good times good times!
I am usually a wednesday nighter. I have camped at relatively the same place for the last three years and made some great friends over in pod1 who are there every year. I am a huge fan of getting there early, and getting the party started. I have always advocated going in early and pod 1 in general. The only complaint I really have ever had is pod 1 closing the gates to what stage after the headliner. It's a really, really long walk from the late nights.
Personally, I think camping is the way to go. In vip, the air conditioned bathroom trailers are nice, especially if there is no line and all of them are functioning properly. The amount of room you get to set up camp and the less crowded atmosphere make the VIP pretty tempting. However, I am convinced you can have just as much fun with a camping pass. VIP is still a better than tent city!
