    cherry hill is a decent area to stay in new jersey. only like 10-15 minutes from the venue and won't rape your wallet.

    I second this!!! The pit is brutal. It's oversold and crowded. When I'm in the pit, I prefer to be towards the back where it's a little less jammed but still not great. Prefer seats! Makes me miss pit in Scranton, that pit was wonderful...ahh the good old days!

    Camden gets a lot of younger kids. They can be both entertaining and sickening to watch, us older folks (30's and up) stand out usually. We still have a blast!

    See y'all there - LOVING the FRI/SAT combo just like last year!!!!!! Looking forward to it!

    So the wife and I will be visiting the Midwest for the month of June, wish it was July but other family obligations (wedding/graduation) dictate it must be that month. However my mother lives in philly and the wife just gave me the green light on the two night in Camden! Never been! Looking forward to the two night stand and new venue! Lots of good info already on the page, thanks for sharing!

    Hi! Camden is an awesome venue to see a concert. The lawn isn't bad at all, I've sat there many many times for a variety of shows and it's really fun. I would not recommend the pit because it's huge and extremely crowded. The past few years there have been reserved seats up until the day of the show, and no seat in reserved is bad... so my recommendation is reserved because it's a really nice pavilion! we sit there for DMB every year. in terms of where to park... unless you get there REALLY early, you'll park in the lots next to Campbell's field... they turn into a shitshow with high school and college kids, so you might want to try to get there early as well. I live in Philly; last year we took a cab for n1, and n2 we took the ferry. But if you take the ferry, be prepared to wait in line... but it's really not bad. If you stay overnight in Philly (which you should) I recommend the ferry.

    that was an insane amount of fun. even though Lyss and I gave up our 10th row, dead-center seats, it miiiiiight've been worth it.

    guessing you aren't coming to Camden this year?

    Stay and pre party in Philly then take the ferry over.2 years ago we cooked in the lots both days (no tents/ pop-ups allowed. Last year we hung out at the hotel bar across the river for N1 then went over. Next day walked all over Philly eating and drinking then took the ferry over around 6.
    We had an amazing time hanging in Philly and would do it again this year but the weekend of the show is the weekend we are coming back from our family vacation in Maine.

    Like I said, yesterday I booked the Hyatt Penn's Landing for $179 and the Holiday Inn Penn's Landing for $199. Both great and easy locations in regards to the ferry!

    yea i'm pretty sure it's the aquarium lot - it's right near the venue, it's a pavement lot.

    Campbell's lot is the one next to the baseball stadium. its a little up the street from the aquarium. little bit longer of a walk, but only a couple blocks. theres one lot on the back side of the stadium that is ok, but the lot up along the street is a shit show. a few years ago i heard like 3 tires pop just walking through there because of all the bottles people had to drive over.

    you're better off parking on i think its either federal or MLK streets. or just park in the venue lots.
