Looking to talk to someone who has climbed the areas at daedunsan and has first hand knowledge. Wanting to head out there end of march/beginning of april and possibly want guide to show the locations and routes.

I can get you to the sport crags. . . (though Kat and Jen might remember differently, I swear I remember the direct way now!) As soon as I get a phone I'll put it in my profile. If anyone can swing Friday off, that would be excellent.

what is the camping situation there? available? near the crags?

I've done the multi-pitch "New Millennium" twice. I could take someone up it as I have lead the hardest routes. Follow the link and it explains directions as well as the route topo.
Camping is most definitely available at the bottom of the approach. There is a large grassy knoll, but zero facilities.

There are hotels, minbaks ande a camp ground in the park-- though not so close to the climbs and at the other entrance (not that they are really far). You can camp by the parking lot near the right (small) entrance, and could probably get awway with climbing right near the sport routes, as it's way off the beaten track (possibly near the ridges, too, though I've tended to climb them on the weekends when many groups might come across you, and you'd be more visible). There used to be a shelter in the park, too. . . but not so near the climbing.
