Camping at Saratoga 09'

This might not qualify as DMBc, if it doesn't just move me.

But I'm wondering from fellow members that go to SPAC and camp at Lee's what a good time to get there is. Last year I went but I got there on Saturday and it was already completely full.

I'm doing both Friday and Saturday this year so I'm just trying to plan on when I should be getting there to guarantee me a spot for both nights.

Thanks a lot guys!

    I don't know if Lee's accepts reservations. Make sure that is the type of experience you want to have though. I've camped there and it was a good time, but I wouldn't do it again.

    Tailgating in the park before the show is much better in my opinion.

    If it was me I would stay at a campground or hotel/motel in town.

    Exactly, Lee's is a shit show, really really sloppy! There are a few other campgrounds around, that are as equally as fun but a bit more relaxed and low key

    If you're young Lee's is probably the place to go. I went on Thursday last year and it was a great three days. Total shit show though--like someone said make sure it's the scene you want.
