Do they at least have good showers and bathrooms. My girl has heard stories about the lines and shitty showers, so she wants to do a hotel room. I really don't want to spend $100 plus a night and have to drive away every night, so the ridiculous premiere price may be better than the latter.

Bathrooms are the same old honey buckets. The showers are good.

Honey Buckets for bathrooms, but who knows, maybe they will be nicer with less people using them. But a honey bucket can only be so nice. Free hot shower instead of paying $3. Way less fun, though, in my opinion. Join the unwashed masses in regular camping.

Maybe they are really pimped out honey buckets with speakers and AC. Moist towelettes.
Looks like it's a better deal to just pay $3 for showers.

The shower lineups are anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes long. I'm not sure about regular camping but on the way out from premier camping there were two Portables that had a few running water toilets and urinals (I think there was a shower as well). They also have power outlets in case you want to use your laptop or charge something.
There's also a pretty nice view from the edge of the campsite. Where we were last year we could easily hear the headliners doing their soundchecks in the morning.
Considering it's another day this year I'll definitely be getting premier again. 5 days without showering - Yikes!
Plus we split the cost between 6 of us so it wasn't much money at all.

Tell your girl to quit being a priss and to just enjoy camping ;-)
And then tell her to visit the Girly Thread on the board here so she can see tips on how to keep it classy while camping!

They usually have a trailer with a few real bathrooms in them. They have running water and all. The problem is you have to go in there right after they are cleaned. It is nice to sit down on porcelain.

yeah, just bring a pack of baby wipes and you are good to go for the whole weekend. while vip might be cool to get close to stages, premium camping doesnt seem worth it.

Well, damn. Something tells me I'll be alone in the prissy premiere.
On another note, Pea. This board has taken over my social/personal life. Stamper and I went out for drinks and above my head at the bar was a neon/promo sign for Stone Brewery. I tapped him and said, "Hey look, its Peatrick"
I immediately felt like an idiot for involving the boarders in my daily life. Consider yourself flattered or creeped out.

Sooo, are any of you reg. boarders actually camping in Premiere?! I camp in Premier from time to time, but this year I didn't see the cost effectiveness. They wanted me to pay for 2 tickets at 160.00 per each. With that the best perk is the ride to and from. For 320.00 that is an expensive taxi ride.

General camping for us! It's all part of the test of endurance that is Sasquatch for me. So you should come visit us because they won't let us plebians in to see you.

When I visited Empty earlier in the month the board was definitely brought up in multiple conversations.

Haha people who rent hotel rooms for Sasquatch.... I don't understand them. So what you get a little dirty. You're at a fuckin festival. You're at Sasquatch!! Enjoy what you can and don't focus on camping. Plus camping is fun anyways! Girly girls annoy me

^I don't get it either! There are still plenty of ways to stay girly while camping. Like I said, when I went to Lollapalooza last year, I felt like something was missing when I walked to my hotel room. I wanted to set up camp right there in the park near the fountain!

Absolutely! I like "roughing it" for one weekend. Then again, I'm not afraid to roll up my sleeves and get dirty. Camping is half the fun of music festivals!!
