. Cars are allowed only to transport heavy loads to and from campsites, and then must be moved to the parking areas outside the main camping area. Picking up/dropping off people from a campsite would be a big stretch of the rules that IMO should not be allowed.
I attended Pennsic two years ago and observed no hostility toward cars travelling through the site (and was in some of those cars). The rules do not explicitly prohibit it either. Parking of motor vehicles in campsites and "party-hopping" in vehicles is prohibited.

There are no appropriate parking facilities for bicycles but if there were such facilities, I would be willing to use them.

I would like to be able to go out for supplies for myself and others. In the future, I would like to use my bike to travel between Pennsic and home (or maybe just the train station).

Are you hauling your gear on a bike trailer?
Not this year but I hope it to be in the future. I hate having to beg for rides.

Is there a way you can disguise it when it is within the campground? (See below)
It's modern but my discussion with the "mayor" leads me to believe that this is not the main issue.
The horse idea occurred to me too but that was before I knew about the ban.
