Another tidbit of information people my be interested in is that it would cost around $125 to camp out at railscamp (you need to supply the tent obviously). Not significantly cheaper, but it might help some people. Bear in mind we have only been able to negotiate 10 camping spots so far with the catering, but we may be able to push that a bit more.
