I don't know if any are camping. Typically, this shindig gets going 10-11 am, continues through the afternoon. I usually cut out by 4 or 5 pm, as I have a three our drive home.

Cody -I have the address at home, but if you Google Fort Frederick State Park, it will bring you right to their website with address, and Mapquest it from your house.
Basically, I go west on the turnpike to Carlisle, then south (I forget, I have the directions at home.) It is a bit of a haul for me - 175 miles (3hours) 1-way.
Things usually get going about 11 am, and break up mid-late afternoon, so you have to decide if a six hour roundtrip, turnpike tolls, and fuel is worth it for you.
It is a great time, so Dave (he's riding with me) and I are going, but there there is some time and cost involved.
