TRF CAMPGROUNDS, categorized by activity and atmosphere

Clan Phoenix Risen-
We are a Fairemily group. We take up the center of the row 0 loop.
We are there in force the big three weekends (Opening, closing & AHE) but there is pretty much someone there representing PR each weekend. AHE we combine our clan with the BS crew which meant this year we had 60 plus in camp while doing inductions.
We are very accepting as a group but we do have the no drama rule. Cause drama for my fairemily and your tent will be relocated ASAP.
There is a quite a lot of drinking in our area but we are pretty respectful and friendly with our neighbors.
We generally have no kids in our camp but we are not exactly opposed to them. They taste good when cooked correctly. (Seriously we don't mind them, we just ask that you keep an eye on any of the little critters you bring in).
We are an adventurous crowd in our walkabouts. Sometime in the evening we will go off as a group (those that can still walk that is) and visit and make friends wherever we can. We pretty much cover most of the older camping areas and a little of the new as we wander in search of rum... er... new friends.
As a side note, we also have a clan area at Sherwood every weekend and go to Scarby Opening and Closing as a group.

*Also I've heard the PR Boss guy likes rum a lot apparently and really appreciates token rum gifts."

Here's an "insiders clan secret":  He LOVES his Rum, and does appreciate rum gifts.  Catch him on a "good night" (pretty much any night he's at faire to be honest), and he'll reward you with a tasty shot of Loki for that Rum gift.  Now don't go running off and telling everybody.

Yes, I've heard that about him...
Wonder what Loki "specialty" he carries??
And again, thanks all for the input. Wonderful!

Are there any regular clans or camps that are on here that haven't contributed??  Call 'em out!!

So what's the deal with -
- Chaos
- Gnomes
- Red Star

I never hear anything about them, and never hear anything FROM them. Quite the Enigma, though someone hinted at a "decline" in another post.  Any info?  I would love to know their history, traditions, etc.

Few, if any, of them post here. Many of them are now participants & camp in back.

This year I had caramello, cinnamon, butterscotch, apple pie and s'mores. Come find me next weekend and I will let you have a taste or two. Actually, the only ones I have any left of (I think) are cinnamon, apple pie and maybe a jar of butterscotch.
CHAOS has grown smaller in the campgrounds over the years with many members working inside but still manage to pull off some of the best parties in camp and are often a focal point for AHE fundraisers for various things (like rennie relief etc.).
Since Papagnomes passing the Gnomes have been much quieter. They still camp between CHAOS and claw but are a fairly calm zone.
Speaking of CLaw, they are very much a happy party type camp. They are at about row4ish each weekend and are a very welcoming clan. Generally pretty loud until about 2ish on the bigger weekends. No kids in their camp as a general rule although there have been exceptions from time to time.
Hope that helps.

*I get rum for this right?*

There is also Celtic Rogues down at the other end,  Large clan the big weekends you'll know they're there by the flags all around their camp.   Mostly a quiet camp I've always found them very welcoming.

Thanks, Sir Richard!!

And on another note - a fantastic weekend so far for Clan Dragonborn and Camp NK&DD. Not too hot,  not TOO much moisture, blue skies today.
And... Had a nice though brief conversation with a passing officer - he stopped by to let us know our friendly but VERY noisy neighbors would be turning the music down at midnight.

Thanks to those who stopped by to say hello!

[SirRichardBear]

Your welcome BarbarianQueen hopefully if not in the next two weekends next season I'll be able to stop by Camp NK&DD and Clan Dragonborn say hello.

Come on by!  Just look for the banner proudly displayed on our campsite -

Hello, all.
I'm willing to speak as an ambassador for The HORD. 
We are a bunch of friends who bumped into one another frequently enough on the campgrounds to eventually decide to camp together.  We're loud and raucous (especially around our own camp), bellowing on mead horns and shouting HUZZAHs quite frequently.
Our members are camping at least three weekends of the year, two of which are typically opening and closing weekends.  We used to camp at D-22, before the new campground additions, but since opening weekend 2013 we now camp on top of the hill at C-22.  We fly green and white checks with a thumbs up insignia.  This year our land-claimer arrived moments after Naughtyham, who had set up camp on our hill, so we ended up a short distance closer to the road than previous weekends.  We will be waiting in line for the campgrounds next year.
We welcome visitors to our camp as long as everything remains drama-free and everyone follows the golden rule:  If you don't like what's going on, leave.

If you intend to camp near us, prepare to wake early, because a large number of our clan attempts to be at the gates for opening at least once during every weekend that we attend and our camping festivities typically start at sunrise.

I think Fraser and I should found a new camping clan- the Geriatric Knights. Merlin will be our leader
