Does anybody know that my parents and I need some Bonnaroo packing lists about what kind of stuff we wanna bring and we’ve been talking about going to Bonnaroo in another year and going camping down in Manchester, Tennessee.

These are old school and not super up to date but I always would look for them when creating checklists for Roo
Those are the lists that I use still. I write on the side to update it and scratch out shit that we don't bring. I think I have a "neatly" scratched/marked up one from 2021 before it got the axe.
I will say that in my experience it's not worth it to bring food other than a few snacks around. (I go with pop tarts and Annie's gummies with Vitamin C.) There are so many food options it seems like a waste to be grilling burgers at camp. Plus, you can watch music while you eat in Centeroo.

You are insane. We always bring food, we always cook in the morning and have lunch at camp. I only eat one meal in centeroo per day. It is way too expensive to eat 3 meals at Roo. And why does it have to be burgers? Do you know how easy egg sammies are? Or grilled cheese? There are a ton of light and easy to make foods for camp.

We grilled the first couple of years and it wasn't worth it for me. Don't want grill in 90 degree weather. I usually wake up around 10, eat a pop tart and some of the fruit snacks and then head into Centeroo and stay there all day. This is usually the only music I get to see all year so I'd rather not miss chunks of it going back and forth to camp, cooking, waiting in line to get back into Centeroo, etc.
It also saved space in the car and in the cooler not having to pack a grill and all of that extra food.
If cooking works for you, cool. For me, it's a better use of my time and money not to. (Also keep in mind that I have gone solo about 40% of the time.)

I don't do lists. Hate making them. I always just know from experience what I'm going to pack and what I learned I don't need to waste space and effort on because I hate it when I overpack. Then about 3 days before go time I fill up 6 pages of a mini legal pad with lists and stuff the vehicle full of stuff I'll never bother touching until I get home. This non-system works though, and I haven't had a bad time on the farm yet.

My first Roo, I set up a grill with water for coffee Thursday morning. I had a beer and never made the coffee. Monday morning, the same water was still sitting there. I never brought a grill to Roo again.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

In 2009 when we brought ffod to cook at camp everything took LOT longer to cook and clean up than i wanted. trying to get into Centeroo from Camp and down to whcih by 12 noon for Jimmy Buffet was very tough. we started at 9 am or so and were still cleaning up at 11:15. we missed the first four songs. if you want to go hard late night at bonnaroo and catch an early set in full the next morning, cooking and cleaning becomes problematic. easier for me to eat food served cold or at room temperature rather than a hot meal at camp. sandwiches, granola bars, fresh fruit, salads, trail mix, snacks etc. just my take. I can pay for hot food once a day (if that). hell i only eat hot food for dinner at home anyway.

So question...now that you have camped with us, did you even eat any of the food that we cooked?

I don't think so? Maybe I got near something during brunch but I tend to just hang back in these situations and by the time the dust settled most things that I was interested in were long gone.

A campmate brought a grill a couple times. It was used for burgers and not much else. It was just me and a first-timer this year and I brought a grill/stove for the first time. I made burgers a couple times, and basic breakfasts a couple times. The steak fajitas I prepped ahead were totally worth it. I'll probably do something similar next time but there will be more of us and we'll probably prep more food so it's quick and easy to cook or reheat.
If I go solo again there's no way I'm cooking but the trip will be a stretch financially for most of our group even without relying on vendor meals. Camping near Centeroo and making everything as simple to cook as possible are the keys if you intend to bring a lot of food.
