| Yes of course! We don't intend to imprison you all there all | |
| weekend ;D | |
| 'Campers allowed to arrive on Friday after 12:00 and leave on | |
| Monday' just means that you can stay for Fri, Sat and Sun nights | |
| if you want i.e. you don't have to leave after the show finishes | |
| on Sun | |
