Yeah, I'd like really bad decisions for $800 please Alex. What is riding your bike at 3:00 am after late night Blue Ridge Bowl show on Nelson County roads?

GA Parking
Post by haikumaster on Feb 20, 2017 15:46:21 GMT -5
1. Does the price ever increase for 4-day parking?
2. Can I sit in or stand around my car and drink a few beers in the parking lot? Maybe even pull out a small table and camping propane grill?
3. How far is the walk to the main venue (time-wise)?
4. Should I expect to go through a check point between Lockn' and Lynchburg late at night? Planning on having a DD but curious.
5. Does the lot close late at night? Or if I wanted to grab a catnap before driving would that be fine?
6. Is there anywhere in the venue/camping area I could access without a special pass where I could potentially sleep in my hammock overnight?
Thanks in advance!

3. How far is the walk to the main venue (time-wise)? 10-15 minutes at most
4. Should I expect to go through a check point between Lockn' and Lynchburg late at night? Planning on having a DD but curious. No

Staying on site is more fun and Lynchburg is a bit of a drive. There are closer places to stay but they may be pricey.

Yeah the ability to go back and crash in AC and not wake up with the sun at 7:30 will just make my experience that much better. Especially because the AirBnB and parking pass combined was just $290. I could even spend some extra for the shuttle if needed. I've done the campout many times and always end up zapped my Saturday afternoon.

I parked in the day lot at Lockn' 1 and could go back and forth as needed. Didn't do it much because it was a haul from my car and where the RV was parked. Smartest money spent that year was for a golf cart taxi ride from the car to the RV with all my camping gear. I'm pretty sure I could have slept in the car.

Regarding checkpoints, not sure anybody can give you an honest answer on this. The people that know arent going to say.

If I remember correctly, he thought back roads were dangerous and that he would stick to 29 so its all good.

I was just more curious if anyone knew of checkpoints being set up in the past.

IIRC, last year they specified that the parking lot would be cleared every morning, it was like 5 or 6 a.m., I think, but it might have been later. I had a friend that came in for a single night and she didn't get out until after 7:30, though.

The Lockn site also mentions that if you have extra vehicles with an RV then you park in GA parking. Also, if you have to temporarily leave the RV area in a vehicle then you can't drive back in and have to leave it in GA parking. So I don't see how/why they would clear the lot.
Doesn't really matter to me because I plan to be in my bed at the AirBnB at 5 am, but just saying.
