darkstar Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Hey folks, what's the Jubilee camping scene like? I can't find a site map showing the different areas. If I am in a van camper, am I best to park with car campers or rv campers? Does the location of vip rv camping make a difference. I like to hang out and cook at the bus and listen, maybe see the stage, even at a distance. But I not into generators and air conditioner running next to me, which I sometimes find in the rv areas. Totally looking forward to our first Jubilee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Dead duck Posted January 20, 2015 Forum MVP Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 The parking camping area i don't think you will see anything. Hear possibly but not well. For a van camper your best bet may be VIP. But maybe someone who has gone that way before can say for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP gr8fulpair Posted January 20, 2015 Forum MVP Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 None of the spots you can camp in your van allow sight lines to the stage. If you get a RV pass and get the fence line (better be the first 20-30 in) you can hear ok and may see a bit. Long walks from general car camping and closer but still a hike from rv. Vip is close, but you can't see the stage and hearing will depend on your surroundings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkstar Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Thanks gr8fulpair, I'm thinking the rv might work for me. Is the regular rv camping like at the fence around the venue and car camping same area just furthur away? Out of courisity is there a fair number of car/rv campers?

Forum MVP Rude Posted January 21, 2015 Forum MVP Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Jubilee favors tent camping inside the venue. We are close and see the stage. Shorter walk etc. U may consider a tent and use the camper as back up in case bad weather. The action is inside the venue. Pretty much a ghost town outside.

Forum MVP gr8fulpair Posted January 22, 2015 Forum MVP Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 The stage/venue is down in a deep bowl from the general parking/car camping/rv camping so that's why I say if you get the fence line in Rv you'll be on the rim of the bowl. Anywhere back from there and the sound is gone. General car camping is on what looks like about 10-15 acres of grassy knolls. No trees. People park all over those knolls, but it's a 15-20 hike to the bottom of the bowl from that area. Agree with rude in that you might bring a tent so if you want to be in the action you can pop one up anywhere inside the bowl you want. It's pretry fucking fun down on the main field. Although I'll say, I had the fence line in rv camping the first year and met some awesome people and had a helluva good time as well. Kind of a little community in Rv. Don't recall being bothered by compressors. No AC needed in Ohio in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Rude Posted January 23, 2015 Forum MVP Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Now that you mentioned the Mrs, definitely a camper seems preferred. Hit a stair stepper to prepare b/c back and forth up the hill can be a little taxing. It's always funny to watch the people navigate the sharp turn inside the venue as they are bringing their supplies into the bowl. We overturned as well as seeing several coolers flip over. U will avoid these pitfalls car camping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkstar Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Where's the family camping area,I'm guessing its also a quiet camping area. Our 14 year old daughter will be be with us as well, though I'm sure she's ready for the bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkstar Posted January 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 When they say gates open at 12 noon on Friday, is that for heading into the venue? Can you camp like Thursday night in the parking area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Rude Posted January 30, 2015 Forum MVP Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Nope. U are stuck outside until they let us in. There's a KOA a few miles away if u wanted to camp the night b4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Tom Banjo Posted January 30, 2015 Forum MVP Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 They do not appreciate people trying to show up early or camp out early. You will not be permitted to enter and you will be asked for leave. I don't know what happens if you refuse but I imagine you will be "forced" to leave. I've never been to the KOA but I hear it is full of likeminded heads awaiting the festival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
