Volunteers that are there for setup and/or teardown should get a camping

He was there 2 days before the show started -- obviously not just trying
to get a freebie -- and intended to work from then until the end of the
show. He was asked to pay $10/day to camp starting from the moment he
arrived, and told only those who had helped the previous year (not _a_
previous year, like he has) could camp for free. He did verify the info
he was given.

If everyone got freebies, then where will the money come from to put
on the show?

I don't know, but it shouldn't come from those who are donating their time
to make the show possible. As someone else noted, that's really going to
cut down on your volunteer pool. I'm sure my friend isn't the only one
who doesn't like it, and no doubt you never hear about most of them.
