35 for primitive? Thats crazy. Primitive means you will probably be 1/4 mile from a bathroom. Thinking about going up to hear more about this auction. Im not paying 35 bucks to put up a tent though. Anybody know what the gate fee will be?

So two guys paying $35 per night each could just go get an air conditioned hotel room for a few bucks more and have a hot shower and (maybe) free breakfast. Sounds like primitive camping isn't a very good deal. Good luck with that, expedia shows every hotel that's not 400 a night is sold out for the convention

I like being right there and I like sleepin in a tent when the weather is right for it.
Yall don't forget there are other options like AirBnB and VRBO now too. The men and women i travel to natural disaster sites use those 2 a lot. 2 or 3 parties who want to hang out after hours can often beat the hotel prices and end up sharing an entire house.

You got a choice-bedbugs or chiggers and ticks. Are you referring to camping or some of the motels?

As stated toward the top. People at the fairgrounds office told me that the hosting group (in this case the NTA) gets to set the price for on grounds camping. $20 is a lot better than $35. I'm to fat for rent camping in July. I'll be happy to pay the extra money for my a/c and shower
