Since this is something new to me since Maryland doesn't have it, is a question about the camping. It says camping is open at 10am on Friday. Now does one, if they want a good camping spot, need to be there at some point on Friday or can they get away with getting there at 6am Saturday morning?

On tickets, are there season passes? They're not listed but figured it was worth a shot asking.

There were more, but it's 2am and I'm sure I'll think of them later.

People start lining up at the gate Thursday night for camping actually.
You can still find a camping spot (campgrounds are huge) but the "prime" ones will be taken.
Of course you're welcome to hook up with McLotofus and we'll save ya a spot!
(handy being part of a group lol)

The time for buying season passes has passed (i believe) but it wasn't a super deal anyways so no big loss. I do recommend checking in with Dragonspyre and seeing if you can buy in with the group tickets, better rate there.

It also depends on what weekend that you go.  If you go on one of the more popular weekends the campgrounds fill up faster.  It also depends on if you want to be in the middle of all the parting or not.  If you would like to actually get some sleep at some point then I would suggest camping a little further out.  Those areas do not fill up as fast.

Most clans have their reps waiting at the gate Thursdays for the traditional "claimed" areas for roping/taping, as Teach stated. It's a tradition with groups, so they don't have to search around for each other. It would be utter chaos looking for friends and other clans.

Otherwise, I've never had trouble finding room on Fridays or Saturdays. As is said, the grounds are MASSIVE!!

Teach, I've got a bottle waiting for you when TRF gets fired up!

Yeah Potter's, that's right......lol

If you like to camp and enjoy the wild side of faire, you'll love camping at TRF. Don't know if you have kids, certain sections of camping can be really wild all the way to the really mild in family section.
Don't forget to smell the roses, but watch out for the thorns!

Oh the only kids we have is a demon cat and the world's best behaved seven month old puppy. The puppy, I just learned, gets bat shiner bock excited when I start whistling Star Trek music. No idea as to why, but she LOVES the STTMP score.

Can't wait to meet all the clans. Luckily the wife's parents live about five minutes driving time away in Magnolia so there's always a fall back option. No worry about noise, I've been known to sleep through...well pretty much everything.

That would be the only rum (in Zaubon's words) "That was the first time I have ever seen both Bicardi and Teach turn their nose up"

The really scary part is that I know some people here at my office that buy their perfume for the same price.
