any camping/lodging recommendations for someone who just committed to actually hitting these shows? (even though I've had tickets since they went on sale...)

only looking to stay saturday night, driving straight to philly after the sunday show. everything around the venue looks pretty full. i booked a room at some crappy motel in oak creek, about 45 minutes away. anything closer would be solid. budget is pretty tight as well

Bark River campground. No reservation required, just show up. They have a ton of space and a shuttle bus to the shows.

I would try to avoid bark river, it used to be legitimate but then they built a bunch of cabins(trailers) that people own on the grounds so it's definitely not the same scene anymore. Also, in. 2012 our camper got raided for no reason there. No loud music, hell nobody was even outside. I would try snug harbor, that's where I would be if I wasn't hotelling this year, didn't feel like setting up camp after driving from blossom

Quite the opposite if you get tent only camping in the front in the middle of the hay field. Be prepared to massacre some Mosquitos and when you return from the show on Saturday fire up the grill and enjoy the people showing up late or after the show. Car camp it for no hassle camping and enjoy.

I would recommend a portable light for the port-a-potty. Gets dark being in the middle of a hay field.
