The Campcon site is deep in the heart of Indiana farmland, located in western Indiana on one of the many strip-mine lakes. The location was chosen specifically to force people to stick around and visit the people they traveled so far to meet. Usually at mudcons people group up and rush around visiting local establishments. There isn't much nearby which will allow you to spend more time with your fellow players.
