Camping/parking

[trousers12]

Hi all....we are staying near rode on the Tuesday night so wed morning when we drive in will be on track for parking in the blue zone ...however we want to camp ideally in paines ground which says we are better to park in orange....I'm thinking though it might be actually quieter parking in blue and walking across the site than queueing in orange ....anyone any top tips

you won't get a choice where you park they will direct you into the field they are filling at that time .... the only choice you make is the direction from which you approach the site

None of the car parks will be quiet.

As you approach the site you basically have to go where you are told to go , depending on which car park they are filling up at that time.

I have always found a post code in beyond the side of site I want to park in and then ensured my route takes me to that point, but without hitting the immediate roads around site, this has allowed me to get to where we wanted to park.
However, don't forget, walking across site with all your stuff AFTER you have walked to the gate from the car seems like you are carrying your stuff for a serious period of time!

It won't be quiet at all on either side of the site, and "walking across the site" is almost certainly a much longer walk than you're imagining 🙂
