Hey Festivarians!
This will be my 19th TBF, but almost all of those years were spent in a tent in what is now referred to as Zone 1 TP. This year, I was lucky enough to get a vehicle pass, so my family is bringing a pop-up camper. But I’ve never paid much attention to the campground area of TP during Festival.
We did not get a reservation for a campsite in the Town Park Campground for the night before (June 13) - they all sold out in less than 5 seconds!!!
So, my question is, if I am there on Saturday morning when TP officially opens up for Festival, what are my chances of getting a good spot for our camper?
First things first, if you have a vehicle pass and are rolling in on Saturday, you will definitely get a spot - we have had folks come in on Weds/Thurs with vehicles and that takes a little bit of work to shoehorn them in but Sat is plenty early. But regardless of when you show up, you WILL have a spot for your vehicle if you have a vehicle pass. It may not feel/look like it at first - things get tight - but you will absolutely get a spot. Regardless, it’s better to get there earlier than later.
If you can send me specifics on your vehicle length, we can work with the camp host to ensure we have a spot that works well. I’ll send you a PM with my phone #.
Hi there! Thanks for your post. I know it was in response to a particular person’s post. But I’m a first timer and could use all the help I can get! I was lucky enough to snag a spot in Town Park for my camper. It is a Winnebago Ekko and is 23.5’ long. I plan to arrive by noon tomorrow, Saturday the 14th. I think I understand all the requirements for parking the camper in a legal spot in town, lining up with my tarp, etc. But any assistance I can get would be most appreciated. Thank you kindly. Doolin
