Welcome to the Lockn' Forum - The home of the original Lockn' Music Festival family!
And this is why I choose to not only have the rules and regulations on my phone for easy access....I also print them out. The first go around I was not sure what to expect...I do know that the hand may not do exactly what the head tells it! Glad you go some help!!! Please note: This forum is in no way officially associated with Lockn' Festival or its promoters.

I realize that this is probably a stupid question but I was asked and didn't know the answer so here goes...are campfires allowed in RV camping....again I apologize common sense tells me probably not, but again I didn't know....thanks in advance for your consideration

Nope, no campfires are allowed
Post by mydland89 on Jul 13, 2014 22:13:29 GMT -5
Thanks I figured that was the obvious answer....

No tiki torches either. Not sure about candles but they were pretty against open flames that could be left unattended. You can't even have your lighter lit for more than 5 seconds at a time.
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.
What happens if I take both?

I hear there's a 5 match limit per person this year also.

interestingly enough, there is another fest (Festy Experience) in the same area about a month later that may be having campfires... i can understand why they don't allow them, but after going to Wanee and ending the night sitting around a campfire, it really just improves the experience tremendously.

I've been to Festy every year but the first and the camp fire situation is completely dependent on the fire marshal or somebody like that. But if I remember correctly (highly doubtful) fires have been allowed the last 3 years. For all you folk near to Lockn' you should check out Festy a month later. Great music featuring the Infamous Stringdusters, 5,000 or so people in a really beautiful valley in the VA mountains in early Oct = awesome camping.

Only if you toast it over your Coleman stove (which is allowed as long as it runs on the small propane canisters).So not even a flaming marshmallow?

It is a great smaller fest. AND IT IS AT A BREWERY! With camp fires. And a nice restaurant in the brewpub so you can get out of the weather and have a nice lunch. And GREAT music. And nice people. And stuff.

award winning brewery, at that. GABF was going on last year during Festy and there was an announcement from main stage (saturday night?) that they had won awards for a few of their beers and had been named best small brewery in america. they don't seem to mind muddy boots in their restaurant and had nfl games on, like lockn did. there's also hard cider grown/brewed(?) right down the road that is available at the fest. last year was my first, my team is in again this year.
Sue, you are right to want to go. Tiny fest done right.

Funny you say that... After sitting in the field for 4.5 hours to get into the festival, the lady searching our car took the 2 mini canisters we had for our Coleman Stove. She claimed they were not allowed. Made it to the grounds just in time to catch the last Cheese set and on the way back we were bitching about needing gas (not to be used with balloons) and some nice folks took us back to their spot and gave us a canister for a couple beers. Breakfast burritos in the AM are crucialOnly if you toast it over your Coleman stove (which is allowed as long as it runs on the small propane canisters).

I pulled out the info one time...and even asked to have a supervisor come over. The person was corrected - it wasn't their fault...shit changes and they don't get told sometimes!
