General camping FOREVER!
This year will be my fifth and I am a huge bitch when it comes to order, cleanliness, quiet time, etc.
The first year I went I was 17 and only had a ticket for Sunday, but we went down and camped the whole festival and it was awesome. At the time I didn't drink or do drugs and it was still the best time. I did premium my second year and it wasn't worth it, the shower line was so ridiculous that I resorted to wet wipes and cooler water. I can't see Wildhorse being worth it for younger people/sasquatch virgins based on:
A. Cost: you're probably going to need all the money you can muster
B. Ins and Outs: chances are someone is going to forget something, whether it be underestimating how freezing it gets when the sun goes down, snacks (which you won't be able to afford if you squander your precious dollars on expensive camping), whatever. the walk between the gorge and general camping might be more convenient than waiting for the shuttles.
C. General camping is, as someone said earlier, only as nuts as you want it to be. You don't like your spot? Neighbors too loud? You can relocate as you see fit. My team ended up doing that our first year.


I'll never understand the complete hatred people have for Wild Horse on here. Has anyone besides Drew and I actually camped there? Having done both, the experience is almost completely the same but Wild Horse has a few minor perks. To respond to two of these points though:

A. If you have 4 people in your group, Wild Horse costs like 30 bucks a person. It's a bit extra but it's really not going to break the bank.

B. One of the benefits of Wild Horse is that you can leave the campground with your car and come back whenever you want. If ins and outs is something you're really worried about, you could actually drive to the festival and leave stuff in your car. This would make it even easier to pop out to grab a jacket and a few drinks than walking back to the campground would.


Wouldn't you have to pay for parking though?
That just seems like a waste of gas.

I'm not hating though, i just don't see the point of paying extra for separate camping.

Because some people have no problem shelling out a tiny bit of money for some extra comforts.

You don't have to pay for parking as it's included in the 4 day pass, but you could just as easily drive down from regular camping and do the same thing. That requires staying sober for the drive back though, so I never do it.

I miss the days when it was cheaper to camp at Wild Horse than it was to camp in the main grounds. I think it was like 90 dollars versus 120 one of the last years I stayed there. It made the decision very very simple.

I have stayed at Wildhorse twice for single night shows in the past 2 years. In both cases they were charging as much to stay in general. There is just as much partying going on at Wildhorse. Both times when I showed up at Wildhorse they asked if we wanted to stay toward the back where the party was or toward the front to be closer to everything. One of the biggest perks of Wildhorse is the great food and fresh hot coffee in the morning. The food is fairly priced too. If you want to or have to pack lighter to save space that is a bonus.

I've got absolutely nothing against Wildhorse, and in fact Dr. Garbanzoure I'll probably try it out a year or two from now. I just think it's important to try Sasquatch "original" for your first year, and then you can change it up after that.

You can't do Wild Horse, ky. Wild Horse couldn't handle you. You are an arbiter of chaos and that's how it's supposed to be.

Don't tell me what I can't do! You'll only make me want to do it more.

You can do this in Premier camping as well, but not in the general campground. That's one of the main selling points of Premier for me, we can drive across the river to Vantage in the morning to get breakfast and stop in the little general store for food or drinks.
