Bedrooms were a pleasant option to have; but I can't see why they should be a necessity. Camping and indoor camping is surely acceptable for most people.

It was a great way to kick off the season, and a wonderful atmosphere. Actually it felt remarkably like the Mudcat, in a strange way, more so than most other festivals I've been to.
