    Since you're not scared of a tent, I suggest camping with the cool kids at ScoCopa! The Fest website will be updated soon with more details on how the camping will be setup, and other places to stay for those not wanting to camp.

    Sure, I will be a-camping, in one-a-them fancy metal boxes with wheels that you tote behind ya, so I gots me a query or two.

    I concede the appropriate mode for proper trail-loving gnome-style campin is a hodgepodge of tents, yurts and mud huts; however I will be traveling with women-folk and young-uns.

    I further understand the heretofore mentioned gnomes can be found holed up in a reserved enclave of tent villiages. My query is: which campin' ground would said conglomeration be? And a would any proximity to said arrangement be prudent for the childrens and folk of a more delicate nature?

    My kin ain't particularly dithery but I've known certain bands of gnomes to fray the rope of decency. They can't be blamed, theys gnomes.

    Any words o' wisdom you can proffer would be 'preciated.

    Living units of all types are welcomed in the tent village(Sac-Fox). However it is just open grassy expanses. Along with a shower building! So no level pad, electricity, water or sewer. As you say can never tell about the condition of the gnomes. So that being said if looking for more I suggest two places.

    Wilderness Campground-very wooded with water, electricity and pads. However no sewer. This would be situated between festival grounds and the tent city. When I camp I like this spot, even for tents because of the woods.

    The other is Bald Eagle Campground. This is at the front of the park near the festival grounds but far from the tent city. This is where the "big rigs" go! Concrete pads and sewer hook ups are the norm here. Oh yeah and I even think Wi-Fi!! It is a new campground and does not have much shade or character yet.

    Can't wait to meet you and the kin!

    Cykotherapy,
    Also, I think the swimming pool/water park will be open for the kin folk to partake in some watery fun!

    If anyone else can either confirm or has info to the contrary, please let us know.
    Ya didn't see me do it. Ya can't prove it!

    Watery Fun will be available as the pool/water park is open. And it looks like Mother Nature will let us have some dry fun on the trails.
