Camp Plans

Here's what I'm currently planning for setting up the camp.

I'll get to Winfield/AC late Saturday, maybe midnight. I'll be at the campgrounds by Sunday afternoon, and get a lineup spot for the camper and at least 4 tent permits. Those should cover 3 tent spots next to the camper, and 1 tent in the Pecan Grove.

I plan on setting up the camper in the general vicinity of last year, but closer to the Pecan Grove. The usual criteria of being far but not too far from Porta-Johns will be applied.

I'm planning on setting my large tent (sleeps 6) near Yeppers for late night picking/crashing. Based on the space Yeppers had last year after landrush, I'm going to focus on getting a good spot for the camper and tents before going after a Pecan Grove spot.

Lineup is Thursday 9-9-10 at 7 am. Anyone who wants to join is welcome. I probably won't be at the camp Monday and Tuesday before lineup, but should be back Tuesday night or Wednesday morning.

If anyone has requests, suggestions, directives, edicts, advice, or just meandering thoughts, please speak up. As we always said in 4-H, this blog can serve to "Make the best better."

  1. Great plan Jason, thanks for taking the lead again! What do you need from us to secure the tent sites? Do you have to pay in advance for the whole period for all tents, or can we just stake or tarp out a bunch of space and then pay for the tents when we show up?

  2. I think we'll be able to pay as people show up. Last year when I bought ahead of time, it was a hassle getting vehicle stickers, so I may just stake out the footprint, and see how things go. Based on last year, there will be plenty of space the first weekend. It usually isn't until Tues/Wed of festival that things get crazy.
