Welcome to the Lockn' Forum - The home of the original Lockn' Music Festival family!
From the FB page...the inside is first come....there is now VIP tent camping. Honestly - I'd have a tough time deciding were to choose. The side VIP area is actually a two tiered area. I'd want a spot on the top tier (we were lower last time), top tier and at the edge of the slope (to the lower teir). Also want that toward the front. The one thing missing from the map...bathrooms. That also played into where we wanted to set up camp! From the FB page...the inside is first come....there is now VIP tent camping. Honestly - I'd have a tough time deciding were to choose.

We already dished out the money for VIP Car Camping so looks like we'll be on the outside. Oh well, that's where I was last year and I have no complaints.

So how douchy can we expect this gischtopo to be?
I've been pulled over by Va statey's for tail pipe hanging too low before. (even tho it was fine)
...surely my long hair and Florida tags had nothing to do with it!
Just don't draw attention to yourselves and do the speed limit.

I have lived in Virginia my entire life and have always found that if you treat the State Police with respect then you can expect the same treatment in return. If you aren't doing anything stupid then you should not have anything to worry about.So how douchy can we expect this gischtopo to be?
but i go to festivals JUST to do stupid shit

Thank you for the advice I will most definitely take it. But I'm more referring to entry way gate cops.

They want you out of their face ASAP. Don't be dumb and they won't have to hassle you. Pretty simple. Thank you for the advice I will most definitely take it. But I'm more referring to entry way gate cops.

They are nothing to be paranoid about. Thank you for the advice I will most definitely take it. ....But I'm more referring to entry way gate cops.
When I came thru security, they casually looked at my stuff and asked me questions like if I had any weapons etc. They picked up a one foot long two by four I had and asked me what it was, I told them it was my hammer to drive tent stakes in with since they didn't allow hammers. They kind of chuckled and let me thru wishing me a great time!
On Friday before the shows started, I headed into town for some supplies and cheaper Ice, and when I returned I was re-routed thru the back roads. I had a Va State Police follow me for the entire 2 or 3 miles. I wasn't too worried because I was sober and legal. I just did a comfortable speed and kept it between the lines.
I was by myself in a decent car, but I would think that if the car had 5 or 6 people crammed in it and it was covered in a bunch of bumperstickers with a tail light out, it might have been a whole different scenario.

I saved it as a PDF on my computer then was able to adjust.
Is it just me, or did they really just move ADA further away?!?!?

I couldn't get it to scale either until I opened it in a new tab.

So I wanna know the difference in the VIP inside the circle vs the VIP outside of the circle. I was VIP last year and while the spot was great (outside the circle) I'd love to find out how to get inside! I wonder if one is for tent camping and another for Car camping

You might be onto something. I could see them prioritizing tent-only VIPs to inside the track.

We may have to reconsider preferred tent. It's a heckuva lot closer than ADA. Not cool. Really, really not cool.

Then again...there's the in circle area...if it's rainy or hot...that area may be more wet or dry than the side area (you get a breeze their too). Whew...I'm exhausted thinking about setting up.

Okay...what's Infinity Downs? Why (as asked above) are there two VIP areas, one clearly inferior to the other? How much better will the Wheel House be than the "bike racks" last year? How is halfway up the goddamned hill handicap accessible? How come family camping gets it so much better than ADA? Will there be other stores located more convenient to the campground, or since it's "central," will it be the only one? What have they got against forest campers?
I want answers!
At least there should be some alleviation traffic-wise...

Surely they've taken the distance into consideration. Maybe golf cart rides?

I'm also thinking that family camping that close to the stage might just be a little too loud for the kiddies.

You are kidding, right? I just tested that link with multiple browsers on multiple machines with and without ad-blocking add-ons. All I get is the page with the pic on it.
Anyone else download the image? Having the same problem?

ADA will probably have rickshaw service.
