2016 General Admission RV Camping

The extent of our search was "do you have any glass or weapons"
You go where they point you to set up. Spaces are first come first served.
Bring everything with you.
Don't plan on using the facilities in your RV. If you need a pump out they charge $$$

Next time I see you Ima ride something that ain't your shoulder, if you don't knock it off.

Where's doctor when you need him? He and his family are the only ones I personally can think of off-hand that rent an RV. Oh well, presumably you know what you're doing with the rental biz and all that...

I would get there closer to 4:00am. Like smosey said, there really isn't a "side of the road" to pull over to, and the cops are in no mood to hear excuses. Also, the local Walmarts and malls do NOT allow any overnight anything, so be forewarned. Our (the wife and I) experience has been that if you get to the Field of Broken Dreams an hour or two early they'll let you get in line, but before that you could conceivably be turned away.

The search really depends on the mood of the searcher and how busy the line is. Mostly they're just looking for glass and knives, but you seem to indicate you've at least been to Lockn before, so that should be old hat. As well as the fact that there will be cops and dogs. Some RVs get searched more thoroughly, due to there being more area to search; some, I've heard, get right in. Fresh searcher probably means more thorough; tired searcher probably means less...but irritated, so you don't wanna mess with 'em.

I can't imagine an RV would elicit more scrutiny from the fuzz with so many converging at the same time. And I agree with smosey: come prepared to spend all 4 days without going anywhere. They really try to discourage coming and going (bad enough for the local traffic on Thursday and Monday without it going on all weekend) and everything you need can be had...for a price, after all.

As a car camper, that's the extent I can help you. Where's our other RV campers at? We have a responsibility to more than just a circle-jerk within our bubble, you know!   Help a brother out!

There is a restaurant in Lynchburg who's owner just said he'd let people park overnight and fill/dump water. Also there will be live music the night before. A few of us RVers are meeting there.

Hello all my Lockn friends and family. I am hoping someone out there may be able to give me some good advice and point me in the direction of success. After all the rain and mud from last year I have decided to rent an RV for this years Lockn. This will be both my first time renting a RV and first time taking one to Lockn. I was hoping someone more familiar would help give me some of the pro's, con's, do's, dont's and pitfalls of RV camping at Lockn. I am traveling from Jacksonville, FL and plan on arriving between 11:00pm Wednesday and 4:00am Thursday. What are my options for waiting to get into the gate at this time? I was thinking about just pulling off to the side of the road and waiting tell that gates are open, is that doable? How thoroughly do they search RV, luggage and baggage? I know this years map maybe different than last years, but what was the best options for RV set up location? How easy is it to hitch a ride with some one into town if you need to get supplies? Do you think having a RV would cause more or less scrutiny from the fuzz? Is there anything you would recommend? Are there any pitfalls I need to try and avoid?



Thank You brothers and sisters all of your help and advice is greatly appreciated.
