I am looking for a "hassle-free" campsite for the Aug Phish show in camden. Please someone give me a heads up if you know of a reasonable place to camp. Also if anyone needs a ride...I am leaving from North West Indiana if you need a ride just let me know and we will try to help those in need. Thanks for your help, Will
hey now! I live in NJ, at the shore, and take it from me you dont want to camp in camden. The only people camping in camden are not doing it by choice. Camden is the dirty side of Philly, only in NJ. We always get a room in Cherry hill Nj, just a hop away. There is a nice Hilton and a few other places to stay. We wont even get a room in Camden, that town is scarey!!! Even the bums are scared. The nicest section of town is where the show is. There are always crackhead bums panhandling in the lot. It is definately not safe to sleep outdoors in Camden. I would keep my hotel door locked if I stayed there. This is not the midwest, it's NJ. take my advice get a room in Cherry Hill. camp the rest of your tour.
yeah, I live in NJ to, and camping there is defiantly not a good idea, I don't like driving thru there, not to mention camping there....
Well guys, I don't exactly have the cash for a hotel room. So it looks like I am going to take my chances with the crackheads and such. Thanks for the advice, Will
The police in Camden won't let you camp there. I went to go see Phish a few years back on the 4th of July inCamden and the cops weren't letting anyone hangout after the show, it's too dangerous. I grew up in Southern Jersey at the shore, so I am sure you will be a ble to find some kynd folk to help guide you to a safe crash zone.
Camden lot late night is the shadiest lot on the entire tour with Miami being the only possible exception. But at the same time its one of the funnest, just be careful. Your a lot safer in the parking lot than outside of it. And as many said before, you dont wanna camp in Camden.
i totally hear not having money for a hotel, but DO NOT camp or try to camp in camden. trust me. I'll try to look up some nearbye camping sites to that area, but id say NOT IN CAMDEN. i dont believe you can, anyway. BUt its not even taking chances with crackheads, its an extremely unsafe area. Its not a risk so much as a guarantee of trouble
I'm staying at cheesquake state park for the holdmel shows. Its probably about an hour from the camden shows. Might be a good spot if you're goin on to the holdmel shows too. www.state.nj.us/dep/parksandforests/parks/cheesquake.html
yeah def. dont camp in camden not a good idea, i live right outside of philadelphia and i attend many shows at camden waterfront so i know it pretty well, and it definately is a great time before and after the show...per chance would any of you have a ticket to sell for a ticketless phish phan? i will pay good money for it!! let me know thanks, and good luck to you with the camping my friend.
are not far from camden. i live in cherry hill. i can't tell you exactly where in the pinelands, but it's a big space. just be ecologically responsible while you're there ... email me if you want more advice: livetrii@yahoo
