You wouldnt want it either unless it is the Off-Road model.

Are there only 3 entrances? Oak Ridge Road, Diggs Mountain, and James River?
Can we arrive from the east from Buckingham? Or do we need to get to HWY 29??

We are first time RV renters, so this will be an adventure! Been reading the threads and saw some great RV tips, so thanks! Feel free to send over any other sage advice for us rookies!
Excellent board here. Very helpful for all things Lockn.
Last year RV Parking was a free for all in the dark...I imagine it will be better organized this yr.

My hope is that they dont make all the GA RV follow this route to the toll booth and the back track to the RV Ridge Entrance...... I would hope GA RV can just enter RV Ridge/Gate where Oak Ridge road changes from South to West.
PW: You got It, please allow us GA RV folks to simply enter the GARV area without first going to Diggs Mountain Rd. Only mountain I want is on the moon!

If you know any place let us know please.
thnx

Best suggestion is to find a WalMart in Charlottesville to hang/overnight and then head south to Lockn (35-45 mins).
There isn't much near Oak Ridge Estates.

"I want people to freak out!"
Have to say that I'm really surprised that Lockn's PR team did not place a news embargo on the added artists... it makes Lockn look bad that they still haven't made an official announcement.

Couple points:
Last Year - Field of Broken Dreams was a dumping ground for Day Parkers and In-Coming Campers (RV/Tent/VIP). There was no direction for either group, it was all inter-mingled. We did spend 7.5 hours waiting. There was a very large group of people that were partying for several hours either waiting to get to camping or day parkers waiting to get into the show.
This year: I am sure these groups will be directed to separate waiting areas this year; Parkers and Campers (waiting to enter camping/tenting/RV.etc...)
Since the Day Parkers were inter-mingled (lack of direction) may parked their car in place. This cause major confusion (imagine navigating a 35 foot RV in this sea of parked cars.
Entrances:
Last Year - 1 the Field of Broken Dreams off HWY 29; then they eventually opened Diggs Mountain Road
This year - 2 entrances; HWY 29 and Diggs Mountain Road (this is not confirmed; but it makes the most sense)
Searches:
Last year - Started off as thorough; then went to what it should be; Any Glass? Weapons? Gas tanks? and checking coolers.
This year - I suspect it will be more thorough but more organized. The basics; Glass, Weapons, Gas Tanks, Checking coolers. But the reality, they cannot spend 20 mins a vehicle or it will be a major cluster.
I really wish LOCKN would announce entrance times and locations so we can start planning rather than just guessing and everyone bum-rushes the gates at first light.
I did miss the entire first day last year and WILL NOT this year. If it hasnt improved to the point I can see the first day, this is the last LOCKN I will attend (unfortunetly).

So what is the plan this year? I am think about being there at 9a but not sure this is the best strategy......Still awaiting word from LOCKN about arrival info...
BUT I am sure it will be much better this year.....(fingers crossed) Not missing Umphrey's!! I would even pay $100 for guaranteed entry before the first strum from stage.
coldrainandsnow .... This is great news, haven't seen that FB comment, there is a lot of them.
Thanks!

I did get a chance to speak with with UM after the Charlotte show and asked if they would figure out a way to play a second set at LOCKN, Andy said they want to.

Rough start, missed all the shows today. But the rest of the weekend will be awesome.
