Camping At Carlisle?
« on: March 01, 2011, 08:24:00 AM »
Hey, just wondering how many others are planning to camp at Carlisle?
 
and if it's possible to make sure all the Pinto nutz are gathered together vs. being spread out at the camp grounds?
 
anyone camp at Carlisle before? do they group clubs together? any advise for better camping, availability of showers? food? electricity?
It's all about the Pintos! Baby!

camping is first come first served, but maybe we could request something ?
 i have camperd there 3 times,  and set up in the same place each time sence i had kids  i was close to the port a potty. phil(pinto1600) has friends that setup thereand they are very close to the same place each year
showers are  a little walk  , food at the edge of camp ground  or in the middle of the grounds at the grand stand. i dont think there are electric  hook ups there.
from there web site

I've used the facilites there and they run a pretty good operation. Showers are clean and neat and they have attendants during the show at the lav's. They also have 24 hour security for the cars,I have no problem with leaving my cars at the showfield. Food is also good at the fair grounds.

I have two spots reserved and hope they will let me park my trailer in one of them. I might be bringing a 20' enclosed and that would make a great club hangout or a place to sleep in case it rains.
I might be willing to buy a generator since there's no electric. I think the wife would be OK with that

flash041, yes! ask rick to see what he has to say.
 
I would "guess" that if we all pull in together we have a good chance they will put us together if they do it on a first come/first serve basis.
 
It would be really nice however if we could get a list of names and see if it's possible to reserve something and have at the very least a central gathering place for the camping Pinto nutz even if not all can get in together at the same time and a few are scattered. If they don't normally reserve spots however it's unlikely they will just for us.

one other question.... are we parking on grass? or pavement? I'm wondering about tents and awnings and the ability to drive stakes into the ground.

I am very interested in camping there... but I'm unclear on the price... is it $30 a night or for the weekend for me and my car? I saw they (Carlisle Events) offered to rent me a spot, but at the time I couldn't afford to add $30 to the car entry fee + parade fee. I will be buying a tent soon or at best I'll sleep under the stars. BTW, do they even make tents that don't take two people to assemble anymore!? Walmart had tents- even one to two person tents- that needed two people to put up.  :P   Thanks all!

Brian, I get that... but I don't have THAT much money to put up at one time.  Remember... I am a single person paying a mortgage by herself. Otherwise, I'd have WAYYY more money saved for this trip! :-\

 thank you for starting the other thread  i ran out of spare time at work to do  it .
phil

Becky, I just wanted to be sure you (and anyone else who may look) understood Phils answer. I did and apparently so did you.
 
but... the way it was worded I wasn't sure everyone one would.
 
quote from PhilsToys " $30 for the weekend carr is included in the regristration "
 
so it was just about makeing sure EVERYBODY was clear on the prices and not about your own personal cash situation.

Sorry Brian... the way you worded the previous response sounded (to me) like I was being criticized for not just paying for the camping, since I already dropped $50 for the other stuff. I get what you meant now. Again, sorry. :embarassed:

No problem Becky, I would never ride you about your financial situation. I know to many others that have it much worse than you, out of work for years, losing benifits at work as well as hours, friends that have lost long standing businesses and their own houses, it's a sad state of affairs that so many have right now and I do feel their pains as well as yours. In all things you have to do with what you have and sometimes tough choices have to be made and things we want are not always what we get. I have to make those choices too. Keep your head up, I know you will do what you can with what you have, I place no demands on you and I'm sure no one else in the Pinto community will either.

Keep the faith and I will too, you will make it to Carlisle be it in heart or body, doesn't really matter, we will all know you are there :D
