There's no designated section of the city for middle aged, or traveling with trailer, or mostly daytime. Check out the
city map, and the space that's earmarked as unreserved is just that... unreserved when the gates open. There may be some small camps set up in unreserved space between G and the outer-most street, those would mostly be staff/volunteers who come early as part of their work and are not part of a placed camp (the camps that are in the reserved space).
Closer in towards Esplanade you tend to find busier and more active camps, it's like being closer to downtown. As you move outwards, thing are a bit more quiet. Still plenty of people and lots to see and do, but they're generally quieter neighborhoods.
Over the last couple years, the city has become more densely populated on the 9:00 side of the dial, which means people are a bit more crowded in, the porta-potties are more heavily used, and emergency services are more strained. My recommendation would be to aim for the 3:00 side of the dial - less cramped is nice, better porta-potty conditions are also nice. Additionally, if you're not entirely sure about wanting to set up on one of the streets proper, there's a great big chunk of land beyond the outermost street on the 3:00 side that's designated as open camping.
) I would like to be out on the outer rings... I looked at the Burner Map... But it doesn't show you where camps are on the map (unless they are camps you know.) I would like to plot myself on the map in the general area I may be camped at (for friends). Should I consider west of 6:00 or east of 6:00, should I be closer to 5:00 or 8:00? Please help....
