4 out of 5 Cornerstoners agree: camping is the best way to experience Cornerstone. Why? Because it is a total immersion experience. Besides, there is so much going on, virtually all the time, you probably don't want to waste 2+ hours a day on commuting and parking. But if you have special circumstances, such as pregnancy, caring for a very young baby, or health problems, you may want to consider a local hotel room or the dorms at Western Illinois University. Keep in mind that the nearest accomodations are 20 miles away from the fest, so you will definately need to bring your own car.
