You're back!!!  Good to see you, sorry to miss your question, we were in the hot tub.  Donna's right, campers can enter on Wednesday after 10:00 am.

Tent camping is free -- and you can camp anywhere that isn't in the vendor area or RV areas.  I wouldn't ride back and forth.  Staying on site is the way to go.  Go home to shower if ya want -- or use the Rubber Duckie.

Ok question. We are staying in the rv area (orange). There are others with us that will be in tents. Is that going to be a problem?

RVer's can share their space with tent campers.  As long there isn't more than one RV and everything on your site fits 100% inside your designated area you can have what you want, including tents.  I was referring to tent campers without an invitation to a site.

There is about 10 of us who are coming in to Austin Tuesday to stay at a Hotel for Wednesday morning so we can be there bright and early to get a spot in Line and get set up, Because the party starts Wednesday afternoon!

Spirit - I understand that tent campers can enter on Wednesday after 10am.  My question is, how LATE on Wednesday will tent campers be allowed into the grounds (I see that the gates are manned 24/day Thurs-Sat, but no mention of Wed)? 

We cannot get off work until mid-afternoon so, leaving north of Dallas after 4pm and traveling on our motorcycle should target our arrival around 9-10pm on Wednesday.  We have pre-registered, and I understand the part about still having to pay $60 cash per person (if arriving after 8pm) and then getting reimbursed the next day during normal registration hours. Can you verify that someone will  be at the gate to accept our cash and allow us in very late on Wednesday (just don't want to spend 5 hours driving the motorcycle to the grounds only to be denied entry late Wednesday evening)?

We can always get a good night's sleep at the house on Wednesday and then head down early Thursday morning - but would love to get an extra night on partying in as long as I can be assured that we CAN get in.

Thanks in advance,

Chris&Tigger
