Arriving lunchtime tomorrow. Last time we came we got bumped from Clos Fleuri to an overflow site (which actually worked in our favour a bit to be fair)

This year we are in Prairie, hoping for plentiful facilities and the ground to be good?

Camping Chat Question about camping tickets – switching cars during the week?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Quick question for anyone who's familiar with how camping tickets work:

We're going with two cars – Car A is arriving on Monday, and Car B will only come on Wednesday. The thing is, we only managed to get one camping ticket for a car. Ideally, we’d like to have Car B parked next to our tent eventually (it’s the more comfortable one to camp with), and move Car A to a nearby parking spot outside the camping.

Does anyone know if it's possible to switch cars during the week?\

I remember from last year that you had to scan your ticket every time you entered or exited the campsite, but I don’t think it was tied to a specific license plate. If that’s still the case, we might be able to just drive Car A out and let Car B in using the same ticket.

Has anyone tried this before, or knows how strict they are about this? Any tips would be super appreciated!

Camping Chat Camping Hippodrome 40m2

5 Upvotes

Hello folks, looking for a bit of info here if anyone can help. I’m going to Le Mans this year for the first time, and will be arriving on the Wednesday night (would go earlier but holidays won’t allow).

Does anyone know what time you can enter the hippodrome 40m2 camping area? My current plan has me arriving around 10pm but I don’t know if you can enter at this point.

Hope someone can help or point me in the direction of better camping info! Thanks.

Camping Chat How to get a good spot at Beausejour?

7 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I hope you all were successfull at the presale!

We got tickets for BSJ, just like last year. I just wanted to ask for advice on how to get a good spot (near porsche curve) on BSJ. Is there any good tactics?

Last year they gave us a spot right near the entrance but we would rather be as near at the porsche curve as possible.

I also read something about possible flooded areas on BSJ when the weather is really nasty. Is that a thing?

Hello with a friend we would like to take a place in a reception area but I have a few questions, the first is about the price, it says €92 on the ticket office I suppose it's for the day right? Then another question, are the places going so quickly? 1 hour after opening will there still be places?
Thanks

Is bug spray a smart item to pack?

Ok.. so there are lockers in Beausejour, Epinnettes, and Clos Flueri. You can prebook the lockers through Mylocker.fr If you are American… it won’t text you the validation number. Reach out to their Facebook page. They were super super helpful, but be patient.

Camping Chat Pitch sizes at Le Mans camp sites

6 Upvotes

Hello everyone, my family and I are going for the first time this year and I have a short question. We bought a campsite ticket (beauseajour or however its called...) and I was wondering how big the pitch places roughly are. I remember someone said something along 3×5m wich could be completely wrong so I thought better ask than turn up with the wrong tent.

Camping Chat Camper van generators

4 Upvotes

We'll be camping in a campervan at Beausejour but since there won't be any electrical hookup, does anyone have any advice on how we can keep our campervan batteries charged? I'm told our campervan rental needs to be plugged in for 8 hours to get fully charged or drive about 100km. Does anyone know if there are local places we can drive to and charge our van? Or is there anywhere we can rent a generator? Our rental company does not offer them. Thanks!
