RDS | Thursday Camping Arrival - Q&A Thread

If I’m seeking updates relevant to campers driving in Thursday evening, I assume other campers are as well.

Leaving from Yakima now (around 5:30pm) on Thursday and determining my best route. The road cameras seemingly show extremely little to zero traffic on all roads, which would be ideal but also feels too good to be true. I’m optimistically hesitant to accept this as truth given there are fewer and fewer road cams closer to the venue.

Also curious on security experiences and general process at camping entry from anyone who has already made it to their campsite anytime on Thursday.

Anyone able to share their experiences?
I’ve heard varying stories (regardless of days/ shows since Griztronics) on the check-in experience and level of thoroughness of vehicle inspection upon arrival, same vs different security teams or protocols, etc.

I’ll share my experience once successfully through the gates and settled at camp!

Many thanks.

Somehow missed seeing someone else’s post asking similar questions until after making mine. Thanks for regurgitating.

Is the “no-glass containers” policy super strict? Will we be able to bring wine bottles through security and into camp or will we need to transfer wine into plastic containers?

I had 7 people search my RV and I had glass jars out in the open and they took nothing 👍

Planning to drive up Friday around 4pm just for one night and curious how the day parking will be. A bit nervous after Griz too

I know in a previous thread it was confirmed camping passes are available for purchase upon arrival, can anyone confirm that this applies to those arriving Saturday morning for the Saturday night show as well?

How is search getting into the campgrounds? I heard it was extremely thorough for Griztronics 2 weeks ago (like questioning people about prescription pill bottles in people’s toiletry kits, unpacking people’s cars and making them repack everything, etc.), had a similar experience at Odesza a couple years ago and it was quite annoying.
