Camping 1 mi.
Day Parking 2.5 mi.
However, there isn't shit going on a mile later. 1.5 miles later, where "day parking" is supposed to be, is actually where we are turning off.
Probably 1,000+ cars in line.

- Roughly how many cars are in line?
- Was there any direction/sign/traffic-cop directing the U-turn for the southbound side?

If you've got time on your hands, feel free to edit the original post with updates. I'm driving at the moment, so my faculties are a bit limited at the moment

In an effort to avoid clutter, we ask that you please keep posts in this thread on topic and informative. Posts such as, "I'm on my way, I sure hope the line isn't long when I get there!" should be reserved for other threads. We are all anxious about arriving, waiting in line, and getting set-up; anyone who arrives early and has information to share will be truly appreciated. Thanks!
What we have learned so far:
*No bathrooms
*Campsite one filled first
*No entrance until 9am
*I only saw one cop on the road the whole way here, but I'm sure that will dramatically increase as the day grows older.
*Don't miss the entrance, it's not hard. There are no big lit signs, just one small road sign.

I do the exact same thing! I always drive to festivals in a button down shirt to avoid being profiled.

You got it.
I will do my absolute best to tweet out vital information (such as gates opening, surprise sets, etc.); but to be completely honest, the later we get into the weekend, the less reliable I will be. Nonetheless, I promise that I will (at the very least) keep things updated all day on Thursday. I'll definitely be getting in line before 9am, so I should be able to tell you if and when the gates have officially opened along with traffic conditions.

You guys are awesome.
I really should be thanking all of you. When I started this message board I did not expect it to take off as quickly as it did. Frankly, I would not have been surprised if only a dozen people signed-up. At my most optimistic, I figured that getting to 100 members before the festival would be outstanding. Yet here we are, only two weeks in existence, and we're nearly to 300.
So, thanks to all of you. Thanks for registering, posting, creating threads, asking (and answering) questions. Thanks for making this a thriving community. Thanks for all your kind words, your advice, and your relentless pursuit of every scrap of information related to Lockn'. Thanks for validating me and giving me and outlet to rant, rave, and speculate. This community does not exist without YOU!
And a big thanks to sneake - he was the first person to register for this board and I don't think he has logged off since. I couldn't ask for a better partner in moderation.
In regards to the hosting of this forum - proboards is, in fact, free. Thus far, this message board hasn't cost anything. However, there are various upgrades available that we might want to consider investing in. For instance, you may have noticed that ads have started popping up on this page; for a certain amount of money, we can remove these ads (I haven't looked into the actual costs yet). For the time being, we aren't too concerned with upgrading; however, if Lockn' returns next year, we will definitely look into it.
Oh, and just for the record, I'm 27 years old, so you are free to beer me at will. While I may take up a few of you on the offer, the best way to pay me back is to make sure that you have the time of your f-ing life this weekend. Enjoy every minute from now until Monday. Be safe, take care of your neighbors, don't leave your trash on the ground, and try to contribute towards making this the best festival imaginable. Hopefully we'll all be doing this exact same thing at this time next year.

1. Dave Frey knows your name - that's awesome. Quality work.
2. I remain skeptical that they can effectively get all (or at least the majority) of us in and parked by the time the music starts.
Let's assume they have 7,000 cars to process between car camping and tent only (I think this is a pretty conservative estimate). If they start at 9:00 and have until 4:00 (when the music starts), that's 7 hours. This would require them to process cars at a rate of 1,000 per hour. That breaks down to 16.6 cars per minute. I'm not trying to be a pessimist, I just don't see them moving that fast.

> Will you have ATMs on site?
Yes.
> Is there transportation from Car Camping to the Event Site?
Heyo Taxi Service
> Do you plan to fill Car Camping 1 or Car Camping 2 first?
Undetermined
> Will there be cell phone charging stations available?
Yes
(note: I saw a tweet that said they will be located next to the General Stores)
There are a few other minor details that they've added, but they weren't really worth noting (i.e. In addition to "low-back" chairs, you can bring in "soccer mom" chairs).
Just some observations:
According to the camping page of "info" section, they are providing a free shuttle service from the campgrounds to the venue area; however, I find it curious that they failed to mention this potentially-life-saving free service in the FAQ. The fact that they only list Heyo Taxi Service in the FAQ makes me wonder if plans have changed. To complicate the matter even further, goodecacher mentioned that there is a rumor circulating that the trolley will actually cost $50 per person (for unlimited use). Could they be pulling the "free trolley" rug out from under us?
They actually made a point to declare that they haven't determined which car camping area they will fill first and I find this dubious. Why would you wait this long to add the question to your FAQ, only to not answer it? I find it hard to believe that we are this close to the festival and they don't have those logistics worked out. I'm speculating here, but I think this is actually a sign that they will fill car camping 1 first. They are reluctant to give us the answer because if the FAQ said, "Yeah, we're filling car camping 1 first (you know, the one that is considerably closer than the other camping area)" then they would be tacitly encouraging people to arrive early (which I imagine they are trying to avoid).
So, those are my paranoid 5:00am ramblings - please tell me if that was coherent.

I think you've answered your own question - you will definitely need to get on the southbound side to go to the box office. I looked around the site but didn't see any info on what time it is open.
