sjm1919 Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 Hi we are due to arrive by coach on thursday late afternoon. i wondered if people could recommend camp sites that usually have space around that time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubenz Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 Hello, you should normally be able to find plenty of space in South Park 2 area (bottom South West corner of the map, not far from the park and Arcadia etc but a bit out of the way so doesn't fill up quickly) I don't know where the coach drops you off though so that could be miles away from the drop off point!

incident Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 The Coach drops you off at Gate A. Once you've gone through the gate, in front of you there'll be a campsite crew base and a big map showing which fields are full and which have space - take a look at the map, and if you're unsure talk to the campsite crew. They're there to help. Although, you shouldn't even need that - the first field after the Gate (Darble) is very likely to have plenty of space, even on Thursday so if you're not set on a particular spot and don't mind camping a little further away from the centre, you should be able to find a decent pitch within minutes.

Hulkes_Hogan Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Similar question, but more tent size related! Gone big on a tent for 5 of us, see link below. Starting to get a bit worried we'll be able to squeeze it in anywhere. This is our first time but have read Darble/Pylon will be OK for something this size when arriving Thursday lunchtime? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/8-Man-Person-Large-Alpine-Family-Camping-Tent-With-Ground-Sheet-Pegs-/111702731522 Just after some reassurance, as I'm thinking we may need to get separate tents (which ironically will take up more space) Thanks...

al_coholic Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 There is normally plenty of space in those campsites on the far west of the site near the fence on Thursday. as long as you are happy being out there and not in Pennards or Oxlyers then you will be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you thought about how you are going to transport it, couldn't see the weight but it looks heavy, might need a decent trolley.

Hulkes_Hogan Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Thanks for the replies. It weighs a bit but two of us will carry it. We're getting a coach so will be dropped near those fields I understand. Put it up tonight, it's huge, the communal bit is like a small living room! Hope we don't put people out in such a big tent.
