Hey there....a group of us are heading down from Chicago.
All first timers. We have a van that we are going to be taking..it is one of those 15 person church vans. We have tents/ez ups/tarps....
Question is there is 7of us. Will we get extra room because we have more wristys in the car?
Will we have to park further due to this?
We are just debating weather the van is even a good idea, or if two cars, one of 3 one of 4 made the ride down?
Our other concern is a car of friends is following behind in thier own car...it is only 3 of them...do you think with both campsites 10 people could comfortably be?
Not sure, but I don't think you'll be allocated much extra space. The real question is: How many tents, canopies, etc are you bringing? Sounds like things might get a little tight.
K...thanks...so is it feasable? we really dont have reliable cars thatl make the 10hr drive the van is our only option...it isnt much bigger than a big SV (length/width)
I personally think I will be crashing in the van here and there...not big at sleeping in tents...il sleep just as good if not better in van, plus we were htinkin bout perioidvally blasting the AC if it gets rediculous...
you won't get more space. its based on cars not how many people you have in the car.
and it is a SCRAMBLE to claim your spot. we had a difficult time just trying to get our tent set up, everyone was trying to set up tents shade,...in the end if you speak cool to your neighbors and work together, you can get a pretty sweet set up. good luck and go with positive vibes.
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!

thnks
A heads up, your neighbors will not like you for this. Church Van exhaust fumes is no GOOD.
Ohh yeah careful with the exhaust...couple of people got sick last year and almost died due to carbon monoxide poisoning. The people did not take into consideration the other tents.

Keep in mind also that there if you've got friends following in another car, there's no guarantee you'll be able to end up next to each other. Hopefully the parking people will be nice about it and let the van wait for the car if need be, but you never know. I've run into situations where they would NOT let us wait for the other cars. So you wouldn't want to plan on having two campsites next to each other and then end up split up. Go in with a backup plan in case that happens!
both years we have gone we made friends with our neighbors right when we got there...last year we had a sick setup...we joined our tarps together and had total shade over both of our camps...pretty sweet

Just wait until you get out of sight of those that wouldn't let you wait for your party. The folks at the entrance booths have such a task lining up cars they won't always accommodate you, but if you wait until you get away from the booth area, you can usually regroup then.
