Going from memory on some of the notable camps, been a while apologies if I have misremembered:

The sola group at 32 was a bar camp duo with a shaman, a lot of fun. IIRC my sola soloing was starting at the zone line marked D and clearing towards #18 on the wiki map, but that might have been at level 30 instead of 32.

Paw was a pretty big grouping zone earlier. Doubt there's many groups there anymore but there's some opportunity to solo. IIRC basically nothing sees invis. The entrance mobs are lower level than later mobs.

Frontier Mountains at 34 was at the giant fort. Fun both grouping and solo, pulling in giants and charming.

CT used to be popular grouping too. I assume those solo kills in 36 were gator alley charm killing.

37 in iceclad: the dervishes around TOFS is one of the easiest bard pbaoe camps available. Already slowing by 38 -- if you change your mind and decide to skip 32-38 instead of exploring this is the place to go.

Feel free to ask about a specific zone and I'll try to remember it; maybe this list will give some ideas of places to try.
