Has anyone seen the on-site camping area for Rockygrass lately?

I got a report from someone that had visited the area a few weeks ago - their concern was the that the camping areas were mostly either fill-dirt or top soil - no grass.  Realizing that the main area for Rockygrass seating has been fixed up with sod, my concern is the camping areas - again, this is not first hand.

The concern this person expressed was that a large rain either before or during the festival would turn the camping area to a sea of mud.  Without rain, it was expected to be extremely dusty - can someone from the Planet address this?  What would be the best thing for campers to do to prepare?  Should be brings some rubber boots for the mud if that's the case?  Bandannas for dust, if that's the case?

Anyone been to the Planet and had a first-hand look at the camping areas in the last few days?

Not trying to be alarmist, but flying in and would like to be ready for whatever we need to deal with.

Went by this weekend.  It's amazing how much they've done and how great everything looks.  The north side of the large on-site camping looks great, with grass well established.  The south side has been re-seeded(I assume), and grass is growing well.  in a few weeks it should be pretty good.  The only thing I would be concerned about is saturation.  With all the new sod and grass, they'll be watering non-stop, so it may be a bit soggy at first, and any rain will make it worse.  Meadow park's sod is looking good too, but it was tough walking on it in sandals with how wet it was.

Bring an extra pair of something you can get wet, and you should be fine.  You'll be astonished at how much has been accomplished.
