I am brand new here and want to go to the dragon. Is anybody camping at all or is everybody staying in hotels? I love to camp but do not know the area and if there are good places to do that or not. Thanks

 

I think everyone (for the most part) is camping in a hotel.
Can't say I know of anyone who really camped at the last one....

 

i don't know if camping by the Airport Hilton is kosher. we're not exactly in the country, if you know what i mean.

 

Be careful going down side roads looking for random camping spots. Some of the locals don't take well to us "furrin-car" drivers. I'm sure there are legit camping spots around. Check the web:

looks like the gap allows tent camping, for bikers at least:

Thanks for the info, never really thought about the locals not caring that much about us there. Do not want to disappear when i am down there!

 

People camp along the lake on 129 all the time... but as Chiung pointed out, they may not take too kindly to "our kind". Though I think it's mostly kids just out their partying.

 

A big part of the fun is being at the hotel at night. I love to camp but enjoy watching everyone hurt themselves even more

 

the chaos in the hotel can be mad fun.

I have to ask.....what is 'our kind'?
