advice for town park camping

[sfperk]

I got myself a town park camping pass, but I am unsure about how camping space is divided up?  Are there certain areas for people looking for 24/7 party, or chill atmosphere, or for families? 

Thanks for the help

There aren't any "designated" areas for partying or families.
You'll just have to ask your prospective neighbors if it's the place you want to be.
There are the veteran camps that have jam sessions, but they're scattered about, so if you've never been there you won't know where they are.

People are friendly and if you ask around they're likely to point you where you'll be happy.

The "primitive" camping area, across the river, which is tents only, is often fairly chill, since the campsites are pretty spread out.  However, a full-on raging party in the primitive area is to be expected here and there, from time to time. 

Families will probably prefer to camp closer to the bathrooms, but in those areas the campsites are more dense, so the likelihood of noisy fun in those areas is a bit higher.  But still, it's fun. 

The Bear Creek preserve is fairly wide open 24/7 partying once the festival starts, but there are quiet areas in the aspen groves on the east side. 

For the most part, all the late night noises you'll hear in Town Park are happy noises, although they might not really lull you to sleep

One word:

anuhuac.

Loud obnoxious noises will wake you at any odd hour of the day or night, just remember they are exressed with good intentions and trying to honor the neighbors.

There was this early morning trumpet rendition of Colorado Rocky mt high, from a certain hippie that might be an exception, but that is a whole nuther story.

Any campsite along the creek will provide enough white noise to keep the extreme partiers at bay.

Become one with the random shouting of FESTIVAAAAAALLLLL and you will do just fine.

Bevin's description is right on!  So sorry I missed the morning rendition of whatever that crazy hippie was singing, or maybe I'm not sorry.

There are many crazy singing hippies. They're the BEST!

So,
SFperk just which side of this are you on?

Best option is to camp near the river and hear that. Ear plugs are a good idea too. Prepare for rain, bright sunshine, torrential winds, and maybe even a snowstorm. Bring a propane heater and an extra tarp.

And mud. It's been plenty wet of late, and some think the mud season may continue past its normal point

[david blair]

Ah, everything goes better with mud. In the showers, johns, tents. I don't mean to be a jinx but it seems we have had a long streak of fair weather festivals. Wasn't String Cheese fun?
