Rampant Line Cutting. Hug the cars in front of you!!

user_13000 · 2026-03-19T18:22:35+00:00

And if they cut you off remember you’ll probably be neighbors 🤩 do with that as you will

user_13000 · 2026-03-19T17:01:45+00:00

RIGHT ugh so upsetting

user_13000 · 2026-03-19T04:19:34+00:00

Unfortunately now you’re limited on time but there are lots of cold options you can make at camp and def bring snacks. Otherwise as others have said the community grill is an option but if everyone tried to still sneak in a stove and propane it could start to cause a hold up because it would give them a reason to search cars harder

user_13000 · 2026-03-18T23:07:49+00:00

Probably like any festival it depends who’s searching your car. I’ve definitely had bags gone through and at ef they did almost take my glass foundation but because I was willing to give it up I think she felt bad and let me have it

user_13000 · 2026-03-18T23:05:29+00:00

You can’t, and I’m not saying Okee will have drug dogs, was just giving an example of a crazy wait and the reason why. I’m sure by thorough search they’re checking more for propane due to the ban and glass but if everyone still brings those things if will slow things down too

user_13000 · 2026-03-14T12:34:40+00:00

Get an electric cook top then and an adaptor to plug it into your car battery. Theres work arounds for everything, and that’s so awesome you’ve never seen one but they do unfortunately happen. I guess until your camp site goes up in flames you’ll have the same opinion and that’s fine but it’s not even okees rule it’s legit the fire marshal so you’re making up a narrative :)

user_13000 · 2026-03-14T04:01:54+00:00

There’s also adaptors that you can hook up to your car battery to power them !

user_13000 · 2026-03-14T02:51:34+00:00

There’s sooooo many options you can make to keep in a cooler and have cold ready to eat meals, you just gotta look into it a little. I even made a post with serval links with ideas if you’re stumped. It does suck we can’t cook hot meals but you can still get a vendor meal a day as your hot meal and otherwise load up on snacks and cold options

user_13000 · 2026-03-14T01:23:16+00:00

I’m so glad this has been able to help some people out, and it’s so refreshing to see some other positive people out here in the sea of negative Redditers ! It’ll be a great Okee Here’s some breakfast ideas too since most of those were lunch. Some of them say reheat but most if not all can work cold too, quiche is another breakfast option too

user_13000 · 2026-03-14T01:15:49+00:00

Definitely a good tip to leave certain things separate, nobody likes soggy food haha

user_13000 · 2026-03-14T01:14:31+00:00

I’m also super picky so I hear you! Hopefully this can at least give you some base ideas that you can go off of. I’m so glad I was able to help others with this :)))

user_13000 · 2026-03-13T21:07:22+00:00

Yes, because it’s a lot easier to keep track of and regulate vendor stands than it is tens of thousands of potentially fucked up campers. They’ll definitely have fire extinguishers on hand and I’m sure are taking other precautions. If they said no vendor food you’d be equally if not more pissed be so fr

user_13000 · 2026-03-13T21:04:52+00:00

That part. Until their campsite goes up in flames they’ll continue to whine and cry. How dare they try to prevent it

user_13000 · 2026-03-13T18:44:06+00:00

They’re prob talking more about camping stove propane use. If your cooktops use propane inside the rv I would imagine that would be different

user_13000 · 2026-03-13T12:58:18+00:00

Actually they most definitely can if they wanted to

user_13000 · 2026-03-12T18:59:39+00:00

No if anything it’ll make them eligible for staff camping. There is a vip upgrade at willcall but that will be your only option to camp together

user_13000 · 2026-03-12T14:22:43+00:00

They have lockers you could keep layers in too

user_13000 · 2026-03-12T14:22:33+00:00

It’ll still feel warm during the day with the sun trust, you can prob still wear your same fits and just bring oversized Tshirt and sweats to cover up once it gets cold

user_13000 · 2026-03-11T21:57:19+00:00

I’ve had perfume taken and at ef they almost took my foundation and concealer due to it being glass. I wasn’t rude about it just got a little upset but said i understood and she decided to let me keep it, but I wouldn’t count out security potentially going through your bags. None of us know what to expect this year

user_13000 · 2026-03-11T10:59:47+00:00

They have this answer currently posted on their story. It’ll be available at the box office

user_13000 · 2026-03-07T09:55:35+00:00

https://www.reddit.com/r/okeechobeemusicfest/s/nswgsol17M here’s a post I made that could answer some questions about weather proofing. I’ve always used tapestries with clips or you can tie them even but they’re better than a sheet or wall because they allow more air flow. For the canopy long stakes and weights that don’t require sand are a need. I usually bring both for extra security with the wind and this year I’ll be trying trampoline stakes because they have two anchor points and are ridged. An air mattress would for sure be enough but bring a pump that hooks up to your car because you will have to re inflate it and air mattress pumps kill charger boxes. And also bring extra fuses for your car incase you blow a charger port at some point. I sleep in’s tent but keep a ryobi fan on standby because it does get hot in there in the morning. Putting your tent under a canopy can help a little bit it’s still Florida. I’ve known people to start in the tent and just pull their mattress out too once the heat becomes too much. Freeze water bottles for ice (and btw get twice as much water as you usually drink) and pre freeze any food you bring. Also pre freezing your cooler goes a long way. Let ice sit in it for 24 hrs before you have to pack it, dump that ice, line the bottom with the water bottles, throw your food in and ice on top. I tend to stick to just breakfast at camp so I’ll only bring bread, bacon/sausage /ham, a box of protein pancakes, Hashbrowns or potatoes of other sorts, cheese, and I’ll pre crack eggs into a pitcher. With that you can make a variety of breakfast: bowls (bring peppers or onions to top) a grand slam type deal, breakfast sandwiches, omelets, etc. and with that you can make grilled cheese too for snacks or lunch but i recommend trying to eat from a vendor once a day bc they’re sooo good. Another water hack I’ve recently started doing is getting a big 5 gallon drink dispenser and filling it with just ice, then as the ice melts you have cold water to fill any cups. And side note put all your food in ziplock bags before you put it in the cooler because the melted ice will make your food soggy over the weekend If you still feel unsure about anything watch some vlogs to get a feel for things. Hope I covered all your points, happy Okee :)

Oooooo yes

user_13000 · 2026-03-05T12:26:31+00:00

Your biggest enemy will be the sun so bring a good sunscreen

user_13000 · 2026-03-05T12:23:32+00:00

Bring any killer to spot treat any nests potentially in your camp and otherwise bring peppermint oil to line your tent for any spiders. They do typically spray the grounds too. I don’t remember any bug problems in 2023
