The map shows VIP camping going back onto the racetrack, but at the open house I got the impression that VIP stopped at the racetrack fence. I wish they would have indicated where VIP RV is located within the VIP camping.

VIP RV is on the track at the south end. VIP car camping is inside of the track.

Are you gleaning that from the map or from the open house? I walked up on the VIP camping area and it was where Shakedown was last year, not on the racetrack. I am just seeking information, not questioning.

I have seen the real map. It is entirely possible that this has changed. I think that SVIP is actually where Shakedown was last year.

Thank you very much. So not too much unlike the last few years. See you there. I'll be in a 24' Puma called Mule Cat being pulled by a truck with US BLUES plates. Thanks again.

It is entirely possible that the layout could be different from what I have seen but I feel like not much change in VIP area. I'll look for you and post pics of my flags **soon**

All I know is the first person into GA Car camping needs to post here and let us know if they are sending the early birds to the back of the field by Garcias forest or starting at the BRB. Guess it doesn't really matter much either way since you'll either be in prime spot for morning/late night shows or the main event stages.....go with the flow I guess!

Thank you, Jdavidian! You're a treasure! My husband, son, and son's girlfriend will be with me so one of them would do it while they fill theirs but there are some who will be there solo. It's going to be a trek for anyone - mobility issues or not. Seems like they would put a water station on each side at least.

Is this typically an issue at Lockn'? At other festivals I have never had a problem bringing in my hydration pack already filled.

at most festivals now they will not allow you to bring in a filled hydration pack. Don't want people bringing alcohol.

I loved being on the hill last year in VIP car camping. You could see the stage and hear really well when at camp. Where I will be will be good though as long as they have those showers and toilet trailers again. They were life savors.

Ok I'm confused. Is the relix the blue ridge bowl area from last year or at the back of the main field? Is VIP car camping on the ridge like last year? I liked it there. The orientation of the map is confusing me? It was convenient last year to have the entrance through the VIP camping last year into the festival.

there are other posts overlaying the previous maps. But Relix = Blue Ridge Bowl (brb). No VIP or anyone on Steeplechase Hill (also my favorite in the past).

The OLD map with the overlay but it gives you the idea.

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.

I just dont see myself heading all the way out to Terrapin Station Porch. If the intent was to make everything more centralized, they failed in this respect. I mean sober camping would be a great spot. Why not just swap the two? JK.

The remote locations can't hold the whole horde, so the distance thins the herd while wolves and jackals along the way will pick off the stragglers and feeble, resulting in a manageable crowd.

If you zoom into Oak Ridge in Google maps and more specifically above the track, there are two blue dots you can zoom on in street view. The one back by the pond provides a cool drone shot of the grounds and a good idea of the new stage location. I tried inserting the link but it would not work.

Maybe this picture is deceiving, but I'm having a hard time reconciling the apparent size of the main stage area in this picture and the space we had inside the track. This looks much smaller to me.
