Okay...I am looking for input from those of you who have camped with the pop-up campers. I am thinking this might be a good compromise between hotel and a tent....but still without electricity...not 100% sure yet. We have a pop-up camper but without any electricity...doesn't it get really hot in there...like a tin can? Are generators an option? I know nothing about them or how expensive they might be? Thanks for the help!!

We've gone in a pop-up the last two years, and it does get pretty warm inside. But we're not really around much after noon anyway. The nights are nice if you get some breeze blowing through there.
Last year we made friends with some neighbors and created a huge shade area with tarps that connected at the top of everyone's camper. That was sweet.
We've had access to generators, but figured they weren't worth the trouble. Just my opinion.
I know booyakasha....but I am kind of wimpy when it comes to certain things...like heat Hubby really wants to camp for the "full experience" so we will see. I am trying to find a compromise...but I am sure I will give in...since this is a b-day present/trip for him. :-)

Haha well all I can say is that during the night the heat really isn't a problem. Its actually quite cold. Its when the sunrises that you start baking. Last year we just bought some portable tent fans and when I was woken up by the heat I would just turn that thing on and set it right on my stomach so it would blow directly on me ;D Then once that wasn't enough we would just move our pillows and blankets out under the shade tent....by that time there was at least a breeze and you could catch maybe another hours worth of sleep.

generators are an option and are totally allowed. last year's guide on bonnaroo.com said something like "be courteous to your neighbors" meaning don't run it 24/7.
P.S. FYI you will have to shell out the extra $75 for an RV pass for a pop-up, as the RV pass in based on the length of space you will take up, not simply on the vehicle.

Gens are an option, once they coll off (at night) they are not bad, run your gen in the evening to get it cooled off
