I camped in HBC last year (long-EZ). What a difference. Much friendlier staff, etc. I could get a ride from "Area 51" to just about anywhere on the grounds, just by asking.
Not so in VAC (this year) If you stop one of the "gator bators" and ask for a ride, they look at you like you just grew a third eye.
HBC is the place to be, IMHO.
YMMV
