Was just wondering how late we could arrive on friday night and still be let in? My girlfriend works till 5 and me till 7 with about a 3 hour drive. Think we'd be able to get in friday night?

oh yeah, I don't think they ever "close the gates" persay and not let people in. We arrived around 9 last year and the line-up was insane getting into the campground, but people arrived all night long. It wasn't fun setting up in the dark though.

Are we sure the campground is still opening up this year at noon on Friday? I know it still says so on the website, but thought that maybe it was something they hadn't updated yet.
If that is still the plan, it sounds like it could be a major cluster fuck.

The line-up last year was pretty insane

5 o'clock seems kind of late for hte campground to open. Sounds like long waits and a lot of people setting up tents in the dark.

I just reread that, and realized that sounds just like every year.

I changed the title of this thread to "Thursday Night Camping," instead of Friday camping. The person who started the thread may indeed be planning on arriving Friday night. If that's the case, you will miss a day's worth of music, and possibly the Foo Fighters headlining set, depending on how long it takes you to set up camp.
Having the title left as Friday camping is confusing to lurkers (as are the replies). Are you guys really planning on arriving Friday?

good call on the thread title change. if you notice though, this thread was created before the last year's fest.

Haha. Having pretty much read every post on this board's history, when I saw this the other day, I thought, "hmm, I don't remember that thread being started? How did that get past me?"
So no, I didn't realize it was pooped from last year.
Also, the link Peatrick posted above states the campground opens at 5pm Thursday, however I'm a bit skeptical about that time. Why wouldn't they open the campground at noon like they do every year?
If any of you out there ordered Premium Camping, could you please check your ticket, and tell us what time it says the campground opens Thursday? Thank you,

My ticket doesn't say what time the campground opens on Thursday. It just says Overnight Camping *UPGRADE* '26th - 31st'

My ticket doesn't even mention camping on it.

I'll shoot for 3:30, meaning I won't get there until 4:30 at the earliest, and if they really don't open until 5, I'll just wait.

If I go this year, I'll be planning on being there for noon again. Gotta get a prime spot for lineup heckling again.

If the campground does stick with the 5 pm opening time and people show up significantly early (as it sounds like they plan to do) would the campground just open up early so there isn't mass confusion and huge lineups on the road or would they actually turn people away? Has anyone showed up well before noon before? If so, were you let in early or asked to come back later?

pretty sure the hippie bus with the stuffed dog on the roof showed up really really early last year, and they just drove in and parked.

Perhaps this is the wrong thread to post this in, but what's up with the boring nightlife at the camp sites? Last year, everyone was asleep by 11:30, no joke.
Did we just set out site up in the wrong area?
Where does everyone party at night?

Did we just set out site up in the wrong area? Where does everyone party at night? wait. WHAT? really? you must have been WAY WAY WAY WAY on the outskirts of the campground. I could see that being the case maybe on the last night, but even then, that's a stretch.
