There will be plenty of tents for meetups of large groups. We have also been talking about having Videoblog Salons or whatever you may call them... places for videobloggers to get together, shoot, upload and generally be vloggerconny.
I keep hearing about how you folks want to camp; I think barcampusa will have that room. Remember though: barcampusa is not just about videoblogging. So if you want total immersion in JUST videoblogging, then hooking up with barcampusa may not be the right choice. Either way, I've already committed time and energy to the videoblogging tract at barcampusa last month. Nothing is in stone, and all can be mutated to fit what we want. (welcome to barcamp!) But to bring the point home: barcamp is not just videoblog specific, but there will be tents that will basically be pretty darn vloggerconic. Yes, I said "vloggerconic", which is much better than a "vlogger-colonic".
