Camper Jam

[VDubnewby666]

So camper jam tickets for next year are available for this years price. Will there be a T6F club camping booking? Just thought I’d ask before booking tickets

 

[Ed Webb]

There's an option to select forum camping as you checkout.
Also selecting arriving in a camper saves you £10

 

[VDubnewby666]

Thanks @webber, I guess I just checking if there is going to be a club booking for this as there was some general discussion about the provision provided this year and how we had to park up in rows. Didn’t want to book club camping only to find others weee going into other camping areas.

 

[Mark Howkins]

Agreed - we discussed just booking 'Home is where you park it' and then arranging a group area when we arrive....all can be communicated via WhatsApp on the day.

Club camping was a bit shite....

Thoughts?

 

[VDubnewby666]

I’m happy to do either as long as we end up with a proper group camp - Busfest style.
@Pauly is it worth setting up a Camperjam 2019 thread now?

 

[Halfnail]

I agree with Mark Howkins Club camping was shite. We were crammed in like sardines.
My Vote is for home is were you park it. What are other peoples thoughts ?

 

[Ed Webb]

I wasn't there this year but have been previous. Home is where you park would be great if all vans can roll in at the same time.
Forum camping is "generally" better from a group perspective as a space is reserved allowing people to arrive at a convenient time. I understand this year was different hence the concerns.

 

[Lord Mfwic]

I think Forum camping works better for the same reasons as @Ed Webb Perhaps we should explain to the organisers the difficulty with this years pitch and ask they take that into consideration for next year, there is no guarantee they will but it may prove difficult to reserve 20+ spaces in open camping if only 3-4 vans turn up early on the Friday.

 

[Lighty]

I agree that the club camping area was a) cramped b) furthest away from the main show ground c) nowhere near any water supply d) served by minimal toilets! If we could arrange to reserve a piece of ground in Home Is Where You Park It by some means, I think we'd get a better set up ourselves

 

[Mark Howkins]

If the first vans arriving (happy to be one o d them) peg out and tape an area in 'hiwypi' then we should be ok. There was plenty of space this year.

If we have an idea of how many were turning up (which we will) then we can reserve the space on arrival accordingly.

I think this is best option - agreed?

 

[Lighty]

Well we've decided already that we'll be travelling down the day before and staying somewhere nearby in a Premier Inn rather than doing a 5 hour journey and a two hour unpack / awning set-up so we could be there early

 

[VDubnewby666]

Happy to give that a go if everyone is up for it. Don’t want to book my tickets now to get the discount only to find other want to go in club camping.

 

[Mark Howkins]

Worth a try - if you arrive late worst case scenario is that you'll be a few feet away. At least we'll have a proper group communal area setup.

 

[Lighty]

Have I read the website correctly that the early booking discount is £42 per adult as opposed to £45 full price? Kids are the same price and vans are £10 as per this year?

Woah, a whole £3 off per adult! Awesome.

 

[VDubnewby666]

Not surer what I’ll spend the £3 on

 

[Mark Howkins]

Pauly - can you start a new Camper Jam 2019 Thread please - come to think of it, may be worth starting one for all the significant events?

 

[DaveyB]

For me, i’d have to opt for 3 bags of Haribo Tangfastics from Poundland.

put it towards some more lights for the pole

If you arrive early we can use your lit pole to direct us all in.
