Camper Jam

Just got my email today too :). Having only used my van twice (both on campsites with full hook-up's), this will be a bit new to us. Never been to Camper Jam before and never camped in a field without services.

So.... for all the seasoned pros out there, do you have any tips and tricks and please can you let me know the top three things that you wouldn't be without on a trip like this and in turn, I'll do some speedy panic buying?

Don’t worry about anything. With 19 other vans present in our area beg/borrow/stealing will resolve any problem.

Bring a power cable to bum power of the others in the club!;) or buy a Genny from Lidl £129 1200w. Others are cheaper and plenty around. Bring beer! or wine.
 
Thanks for all the replies.... just adds to the confusion really. According to the rules blurb there’s no fire pits and no generators allowed....or do people just ignore that kind of stuff?

Is your Mrs available for hire Pauly?

Boooo, no open fires at this one. Marshmallows and s’mores over the Cadac it’ll have to be then.

Oh well that’ll just mean that @Lord Mfwic and @Fish have longer to collect and chop wood for Busfest then.
 
It also say's no BBQ's. Well I'm sorry but how am I expected to cook ?
"BBQ, what BBQ, sorry no you are sadly missinformed Mr/ Mrs/ Ms Camper Jam official type person. That is not a BBQ, that is a Cadac Cooker!"

My guess is that they mean portable BBQ's that burn the grass. Or at least I bloomin well hope that is what they mean, or they could be trying to kick a hell of a lot of people off the site.

Only stipulation seems to be that "BBQs must be kept off the ground and under control at all times".
 
It says no BBQ's on the pamphlet that came with the tickets today. I agree with @DaveyB, it probably means the disposable type or they have revised it since they went to press.
Shame about the fires though as thats the best part of camping, the nightly gatherings around the fire pits

You are right - the version of the above notice included with the packs is slightly different - needs clarification. Cadac's and similar have got to be OK (they are exhibiting at the show)??

Quote:- "Can I use a barbecue?
Yes, provided no hot part of the barbecue touches the ground and it does not inconvenience other campers (eg. wind blowing smoke into their camping unit). Please do not take a barbecue inside a camper van, tent, or similar; in addition to the fire risk a barbecue gives off carbon-monoxide which can be fatal if inhaled."
