Not really a place to camp...TEMPORARY FESTIVAL

This must have been automatically generated somehow. This is a TEMPORARY fair that has a TEMPORARY campground on site. I've never camped during the event, but just want to warn people who may want to stay here that it's not what you expect. I'm sure the camping is just fine for a FESTIVAL, but it doesn't really have a place on The Dyrt imho.
