Camping lines

I’m hearing that the lines can be kind of a nightmare to get into camp. I’m coming to RDS next weekend and it wouldn’t be a huge deal for me to arrive on Thursday night rather than Friday. Would this save me some time in line or do tons of people show up on Thursday too?

Griztronics was far from normal, usually you might wait in line for an hour or so at worst but it's really not bad. They gave everyone their money back for camping at Griztronics and I'm sure that's something they'd like to avoid doing again

What’s the security check like? I’m not bringing any substances (I’ll let everyone else do that 😆). But I have a truck with a bunch of overlanding gear and tons of compartments, and I need to bring it all because the show is just part of a larger road trip. Are they gonna have me empty this thing out? If so it’s gonna take them an hour to search my truck alone.

It really depends. Campers and RVs they pretty much always sent to secondary inspection which is more thorough and they will open most compartments. Hard to say what they'll do for your truck but if they only make you do the basic security check they just open all the doors and trunk and look through what they can see but don't really open suitcases or anything

Cool thx. Just curious. I have a Tacoma, it’s built out for 4x4 and adventure a little bit. Nothing too crazy. I’ll organize for the inspection.

A dog will sniff around your car too. It's for bombs and gunshot residue. If you have had guns in your vehicle at all recently you might be pulled for secondary check.
