I attended Pagan Spirit Gathering a few years ago, and am still part of their online community and several of my friends go yearly.  The premise is really cool, and the camping is really cool.  However, I didn't really get much out of it and was really kinda disappointed for all of the hype it gets.  Even though it says that it's open to all 'positive Pagan paths' or something thereof (and it is), everything is geared towards neo-Wicca. If that's what you are in to then I have no doubt you will have a blast.  The people are very friendly, Selena and Sharon (the two main coordinators) are always helpful and pleasant, and most everyone thinks of it as a life changing experience.  It is REALLY pricey, and is not worth the money unless you are neo-Wiccan or have several friends attending that you'd like to see, in my opinion.  The workshops aren't really anything to write home about save for one or two max.  There's a lot of appropriation that goes on, particularly with Native American things, and if you speak out about it then you're pretty much shunned for being "that guy/girl/person".  PSG does some things really well (networking, vending) and some things really poorly (diversity, education) so it's really a toss up for what you're looking for and what you're willing to overlook.
