A van-camping site counts as your vehicle. You do not get an extra vehicle by purchasing a van-camp site.
No RVs
RVs are no longer permitted at Wente due to the conversion of the existing RV parking spots into tented camping platforms. Do not arrive with an RV -- you won't be allowed to park it on the property.
No Camper Trailers
Tow-behind camper trailers are no longer allowed at Wente. We simply do not have room.
10 Minute Unloading
Take no longer than 10 minutes to drop your belongings at your campsite if you wish to unload before parking. Take note, that you may not end up getting to park in the lot you wish to park in if you don't unload and park efficiently enough.
Important Parking Rules
Wente parking lots must fill in a particular order. Lot #1 must fill first, then lot #2, and finally lot #3. Your arrival order will dictate which lot you end up being parked in as directed by our event staff. It is impossible to predict where you will end up being required to park. A particular lot might have space in it when you first arrive, and then fill by the time you've unloaded your vehicle. Thus, it's crucial that you minimize the amount of time you spend fussing around with your stuff. We advise you follow our 10 minute unloading rule (see above).
Lot #1:
The nearest campsites to lot #1 are: Sunrise Ridge, Moss Shadows, Madrone, Sky High, Trails End, and Little Dipper. If at the vehicle checkpoint you are told to park in lot #1, then these are the campsites we recommend. If you arrive early, you'll likely end up being placed in lot #1.
Lot #2:
The nearest campsites to lot #2 are: 12 O'Clock High, Turkey's Roost, Oak Flats, Diamond W, Wishbone, Sailors Rest, Sleepy Hollow, and Big Dipper. Lot #2 is also the closest parking lot to Van Camp, and is right next to the team tent zone. We generally start placing cars in lot #2 in the early to mid afternoon hours after lot #1 has filled. You may not park in lot #2 unless directed to do so.
Lot #3 & 4:
Lots #3 and 4 are reserved for people who arrive on race-day because lot #1 and 2 are probably already full. If you are arriving on race day, you will not be allowed to drive your vehicle past the last open lot. Period. The race start/finish area is already built, full of people and ready to go. We cannot make exception to this rule.
The nearest campsites to lot #3 & 4 is the newer Family Camp zone on the southwest corner of the lake where RV camp used to be.
