Your renaissance festival has camping? The one in my area is more like a theme park than a LARP.

Dame here. It kind of sucks and isn't worth going to more than a couple of times unless you have a giant wad of cash burning a hole in your wallet. They have permanent buildings and all of the acts and shops are the same every year.
