We usually arrive Saturday before noon and that puts us 3/4 of the way to the highway. If you find a spot closer, ask yourself why it’s not taken. It’s probably a low area that’ll be ankle deep after the first downpour. You could try Thursday or Friday, but earlier than that and the law of diminishing returns kicks in. The best spots will always be taken by the rich folk who stake out their sites a month in advance. Forget about electric and water. If you don’t have it reserved now, you’re not getting it.
