I have a group of college friends who are a little unconventional, (one has been traveling around Mexico in a van with her bf, sleeping in it every single night.)
So they would rather pitch a tent in someone's yard, but whoever that someone is (a friend's parent, etc) that person is going to feel awkward and obligated to invite them in or take care of them, which is not what I want. I wish they would just stay in the hotels we suggest LIKE NORMAL ADULTS!!! And Cincinnati is not a camping type of location. And there are no hostels in Cincy, as far as I know. What do I tell them?
