After the u-turn on 29 turn right on Arrrington road and left on diggs mountain. We pulled right up and turned right into security checkpoint. The car did not spot unilateral we were at security. 2 minutes there and ten on to car camping. Left Charlootesville a little before 7. At camping spot before 8

On Oak Ridge Road about a mile from the gate. We are VIP car camping and mostly RVs in line. Also noticed GA RVs in this line, so that is contributing to congestion. Friends already in VIP RV said checkpoint went smoothly. Friends behind still on James River Road creeping slowly.

We came in the GA RV line. No search at all, we just rolled in along with the rest of the RVs. No one got searched. Gave us bracelets on the road, but we never hit a processing area. Been here and getting set up for over an hour.

Moving slowly... but at least we're moving. Anyone have an estimated wait time from when you turned off 29? Just passed where the triangle stage was in 2013.

Wow, that's world's away from last year.
I got in pretty early, maybe 7ish? Very light search, slight delay getting to my spot. Dude asked how many beers I had, I said 24 but he wanted to see them
It was four six packs. He tried to take one, saying that he is supposed to take two. I was like, hold up, nuh uh. A case is 24, I have 24 total. He was like, ok brother and sent me on my way. Props to that friend. SUPER cramped with all my neighbors. Worst I've ever seen. Just finally put the finishing touches on my spot. Lounging and trying to dry off in hopes I can catch some winks. Doubt it though, I'm sticky and it's kinda. Not awful hot, but hard to sleep in hot. Hope everyone else had a good experience. It sounds like most did.

They absolutely delivered on promises of improving the arrival process. Although they started just a bit late, they moved steadily, quickly, and (relatively) fairly.

I was in line at 5:20 and was pitching camp at 8:00. Needless to say, I'm satisfied.

Very much this. The only gripe I have is that I got there at about four and got stuck out here next to the triangle stage. Not a bad place to be, and I guess the walk is still shorter than last year. You know what, I don't really have any complaints aside from the tiny ass space. Everyone's ez ups are overlapping
