I have yet to be at either so can't directly comment on them, but I'd say Camden so when the virgin has such a good time there they can do whatever is needed to go to later shows (like Jones Beach)

Definitely Camden. There is no lawn section at Jones Beach :( :( and we all know that being in the lawn and being able to move around is much better than being stuck in stadium seats at Jones Beach. We have brought many a Buffett virgin to Camden over the years and they have all become loyal phans. Our group used to be 4 -- now we are 12 strong! See you in Camden. Trust me on this one!! :D :D :D

I've never been to Jones Beach but I hear the parking lot experience can't match Camden

Oh, I am so dreading this. I'll have to keep reminding myself, "must refrain from slapping Great Woods whiners upside the head."

The last Jones Beach show for Jimmy was great. Good tailgate with BN PHriends, great setlist, and even an awesome fireworks display during intermission.

Jones Beach, no question. It's a Buffett show and you're at the beach. What more could you ask for? 8)
