thatsnomoon Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 hi there does anyone know when the car parks will be open, as we were considering travelling down tuesday night, ready to get into the camper fields first thing wednesday morning. (we're not that far away, hour or so, but would make the OH less stressed?!?) Does anyone know if this is possible, or would we have to find an alternative camp site to park at and then travel across? any advice, greatly appreciated thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incident Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Officially they open Car Parks and Campervan fields at the same time as the Gates (8am). Unofficially, you'll probably get let in earlier to try and keep the roads clear, but it's not guaranteed and any more than about half an hour would really be pushing your luck. I'll be aiming for 7:45 on the dot.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Crawley Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Yep the official line is that if you turn up earlier than 8am, you'll be turned away. I was wondering what time to aim for in reality.. We'll be right behind you, Incident! Anyone know any good laybys to park up in around the area?

Mishy Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 When I went in 2007 there was no early let in. We had to wait with lots of other vans and cars. So I wouldn't bank on getting let in early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cky Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 East car parks last year, they were turning people away until almost 8am. The roads around there became crazy, people parked up in the ditches and sides of the road for miles. I think they finally let people in ten or fifteen minutes before*, probably due to the roads becoming jammed and dangerous. * So pleased to be moving, and quickly getting out onto the road, I didn't note the actual time, or if I did, I forgot it.

Sam Crawley Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 i can understand everyone wanting to get in and get there camping space and i will too be arriving on the wednesday but as long as you arrive in the morning some time does it matter if it is on the dot 8am??
