Hey all!

I'm a 30 yeard old girl coming all the way (alone) from Sweden for this years BM. I'm not really sure whether to just camp by my self or join a theme camp? Any one who'd like to give me some tips?

Looking forward to seing you all there!

I say find a camp. There are varying levels of camp participation. You don't mention what your sleeping or travel arrangements are, and that makes a difference. If you have an RV, then it's much easier to camp alone. If you've got a tent and a bus ticket, then I would lean towards a camp. I'm a single woman and I also fly in. It's nice having the "official" support of a camp, rather than winging it with random neighbors.

But either way, you should have a great time and get to meet your neighbors, both in your camp and outside.

I suppose it all depends on your fortitude, comfort level, skill, and what you hope to get out of it. Theme camps may offer some additional support and guidance, but they aren't there to carry you. Solo would be quite an experience too. In 2012, we camped next to an Australian who had never been before and had a rented car with an ice chest and some food. That was it. He slept in the car. We think. We never saw him a lot because he was "adopted" by half our neighborhood and was always out and about doing this and that. Point is, with a great attitude (like his) you can survive solo AND have a great time. (Here's to you, Gavin, wherever you are.

And then read this post - viewtopic.php?f=364&t=37493

Both have lots of replies, but as long as you read those initial posts you'll get a sense of what's involved.

Camping alone might be more your speed, but it can also be harder because you're the only one tending to every last little detail of everything. There's no wrong way to do it, you'll probably survive no matter what you choose. Whatever seems like it might be the most fun for you... do that one.
