Quick reply on Old Settlers. I've gone nearly every year since moving to Austin in 1995. They moved it from the original Old Settlers park just north of Austin to Dripping Springs last year. Both seem to have comparable camping areas and easily accessible to Austin if that's more your speed. In general, I've seen a movement away from a straight ahead bluegrass festival to a little bit more of an acoustic festival, but I've still been very pleased with the bluegrass acts they've brought in. They've also had a lot of workshops and picking every year and would assume that'll be true this year too.
