Nothing that great here. Sheds are sheds. Bethel is nice before they put the fence up around it - traffic and cops in the lot are also a big issue.
Blossom, Mansfield, Camden, MMP all lack camping it I remember right.
Verizon Wireless @ Encore Park = no security, beautiful venue, easy going ushers, small, cozy
MPP has camping at nearby state parks..can come and go as you please..it's a 30 minute drive, but cheap as dirt.
Portsmouth- beautiful small venue on the water
Darien = Grass parking lot, theme park, big white tent. Darien is like a giant cop trap also.
Blossom is laid back and incredible. inside and out. the place was built for the cleveland symphony so the acoustics are great.
