Isle of Man TT 2024

I can recommend this campsite:


Good facilities
Bugger...
If I can help - we've got 9 pitches pre booked Friday May 31st through to Wed 5th June.
If anyone pulls out, I'll drop you a line

When's your ferry booked for?
There are three of us, on three bikes, three tents Monday of practice week to Wednesday of race week.

The house we had booked told us their building work won’t be finished, we said we aren’t bothered. I think they found someone who will pay more.
 
Try Ballacotier campsite, close to Hillberry
 
Just had our booked accommodation cancel on us.

Just had our booked accommodation cancel on us.
We had that done to us a few years back, air bnb but they sold the apartment, after lots of phone calls we managed to get a hotel but cost us an arm and a leg… we’re on this campsite if anything is available for you? Glenlough Campsite – Glenlough is a family run Campsite situated on the TT course only three miles from Douglas.
 
The back story of this is, one of the lads hasn’t been for years, he has had some awful luck, Mrs did the dirty, medical issues, mental health issues, he has got himself back in the game, has a flat, job as a postie and his life back on track. This is his holiday.

We will get something and it will be grand.
 
Another is St. John’s football club at Ballacraine. Really good as it has showers , toilet, bar and restaurant. I was there for a couple of years after Ballacotier when I marshalled a few years ago. They also rent out tents. Proviso is I haven’t been for a few years so info may be not relevant.

@Eli has family relations on IOM - he may be able to help & point you in the right direction?
Apart from the obvious ones list on the Manx gov website, I couldn’t tell you of any others having never camped there. In all honesty though you’re probably to late as most sites will have been booked well in advance as I’m sure you are experiencing.
 
When we first went we camped just off the course, one of the lads met a girl and moved over there, so the next year 18 of us stayed in his one bedroom flat, we then stayed with him, or another mate until they both got divorced, then we did homestay = nightmare, then went to Sulby for about 15 years, tried Laxey once, then back to Sulby, until they got all funny with permits and limited spaces. Tried some different campsites. With middle age approaching we went to Port Erin and hired a house. But my spider sense is telling me that the owners have had a ££££ better offer.
We will get something.
 
Fantastic news
All's well that ends well :thumbsup:
A lot closer to Douglas for the w/end activities than Port Erin
Winner winner...
Thanks, we are middle aged now so no shenanigans on Douglas prom, burn outs in nightclubs, early mornings in Summerland, we are just after the quiet life.
I have to say thanks to everyone for their help advice and support.
 
My Grandad used to race in the IOM in the 50s and 60s, I have never been to a race, but now we are getting into T6 ownership I suspect a trip over for the weekend is in order.
