Or you can buy yourself a $10 shower in the campgrounds somewhere (I don't know where, I didn't use it last year). Or use babywipes like most everyone else seems to do. ;D

I'm the biggest clean-freak germaphobe that you'll ever meet! I shower 4 or 5 times a day and go through several gallons of hand sanitizer a year...easily. People say that I'm obssesive-compulsive about cleanliness but, I've never showered at Roo (this will be #4). It just doesn't seem to matter all that much once you get there.

I totally second that....once you enter those gates, you just deal...
A couple of you may remember that I was STRESSED about the port-a-johns, and my wife made me a hat to wear into the toilets.
So Friday morning, nature called (as I feared it would)...and I had to figure out how I was going to handle it. So the place was dead (as it was like 7:00 in the morning, and most (sane) people were still sleeping). So fortunately I had plenty of time to "prep" the site. So I start by wiping down the entire seat area with clorox wipes. Then I wipe it down with baby wipes. Then I put down a layer of clorox wipes. Then I put down a layer of baby wipes. Then I put down several layers of toilet paper (my ultimate seat). Then I sat down and was ready to take care of business. So (spoiler alert: This is where it gets gross) I start going, and the first "object" hits the blue liquid (which is basically whatever has gone in there before me mixed with those blue packets they throw in there) at the bottom of the port-a-john, and it splashed up and hits me right in the a$$. I immediately jumped up and wiped only to confirm that my a$$ was indeed soaked in the (most likely harmless due to the blue stuff) waste of others. So here is where ANY other time in my life I would just freak out...but I just cleaned up, finished my business, and didn't think about it again until the ride home.
Hope that didn't gross anyone out...but I find it funny.

I wash at the washing trough twice a day. Put on your swim suit, grab some soap and a towel and you get as clean as any shower for free. After a hot day it feels SOOOO much better to be clean but no need for a $10 shower.
I bought a shower in someones driveway two years ago. It was freakin' cold water. I stripped down to bareness and washed up. When I turned around I saw some women on her porch in the back ground with me in full sight. The worst part was what the cold water was doing to my nether regions. Making them less then presentable to the whole world. It was horrifying.
Then I left my glasses on the ground and had to go back the next day to get them. They were still folded up on the gravel driveway. It wasn't worth the effort or humiliation.
The KOA is great! I always meet some friends there a couple of days before roo, but always go inside the farm on Thu. I couldn't imagine my campsite being so close and yet so far from all the action. If you're considering it - that is buying 2 or more GA tix and spending the premium KOA prices for 4-5 nights - why not just go VIP? That would give you the showers and oh so much more.....
HEADED TO BONNAROO!!!!
