Camping, RVing, Hoteling: Three Accomodation Options for Bonnaroo, Manchester

 Rickman77 Says:  You have three options for lodging at Bonnaroo.The cheapest and most popular is camping out. This is included in the price of your ticket. Load up the car with all the goodies you'll need, bring a tent and few sleeping bags and you are ready to go.If you aren't quite camping... 

What to Pack  

A good Sun Tent

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Of course you need a tent, RV, hammock, truck bed or something to sleep in.

But more importantly you will need a tent type structure that will keep the sun off you during the day. It's not too big of a problem to keep the sun off, but you also need something that will stand up against the breeze/wind and keep the sun off. This is where it gets tricky.

I don't have any great tip to solve this problem, but I do know that shade is a key factor in your enjoyment of the weekend.

Good luck finding a good low cost solution.

Sandals or Boots

Happy and Free!

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Rain and thunderstorms are often in the forecast. If you get either you will be left with lots of mud. To combat the mud you have three options.
1. Good waterproof boots
2. Rain booties
3. Good sandals that love the mud as much as your open toes do.

Sandals are my weapon of choice.

ICE!!!

Miscellaneous: Ice is one of the biggest commodities at Bonnaroo. Three days in the Tennessee heat will leave you with warm beer and soda.

My advice is to fill up gallon jugs of water at home and then freeze them. You can use them as ice till they melt and then drink the cool water.

Beating the Traffic Jam

Cars as far as the eye can see

Favorite thing: Every year there is a giant traffic jam created by everyone trying to get to the festival. Stories of people sitting in traffic only miles away for 10, 12, or even 20 hours are not at all unheard of.

Though the traffic situation has improved little by little each year it is still something that you don't want to have deal with.

Thankfully there is an easy way to beat it. Show up on Thursday. The earlier the better. Thursday morning and you'll have no traffic. By Thursday night traffic may already be backing up. Friday is sure to be a mad house.

To play it safe, try to get to the campground by noon on Thursday.
