Essential Information

The campsite opens at 5pm on Friday night and closes at 6.30pm on Saturday night. Please note that the venue will shut after this time and nobody can stay on site beyonf that point.

You must have a valid camping ticket per person, in addition to a valid admission ticket per person, to camp at this event. These must be obtained in advance and will not be available to purchase on the day.

You are welcome to bring your car or bike onto the campsite with you. Please head to the main entrance on arrival (over Warwick Bridge), and you will be directed to the campsite area and issued with a wristband.

There is no shop located on the campsite, but there are supermarkets nearby, including a Co-Op in Tarporley, and our circuit restaurant will be serving hot food, snacks and drinks.

BBQs are permitted as long as they are raised off the ground, but fires are not permitted. You are welcome to bring your own alcohol too.

Animals are not permitted anywhere on site at Oulton Park (except Guide/Assistance dogs), including the campsite.

Facilities

The campsite will offer full facilities for the duration of its operating hours, including toilets, showers and drinking water standpipes. These are all situated at the Scrutineering Bay, nearby in the paddock.

The toilets and showers are cleaned throughout the duration of the event. Please help us by keeping them clean and tidy.

Please do not use the surrounding woods or bushes for toilet purposes. If you are found doing so, you may be ejected from the campsite and your wristband will be confiscated.

There are plenty of bins provided. Bin bags are provided at the venue entrance.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner is available in our permanent Chequers Restaurant inside the circuit.

Please note - there are no electrical hook-ups available.

Security

We work extremely hard to keep our site secure. We will have both a fire marshal and security guard patrolling the campsite area throughout the night.

Nevertheless, thieves have been known to operate in the area, so we highly recommend keeping your valuables safe at all times, either by locking them in your car, or keeping them on your person.

MSV will accept no responsibility for loss or damage sustained to these items.

Rules

Please keep noise to a minimum after 22:00 in the campsite area. This includes the use of generators wherever possible, particularly if they are portable external units. Any campers that persist in making excessive noise after this time may be evicted from the campsite without refund of ticket fees, or even banned from the venue permanently in extreme cases.

Road-registered vehicles are permitted within the campsites, but scooters and mini-motos are not permitted. Please be considerate of others and keep vehicle movement to a minimum. Sleeping in vans is not advised.

Campers under the age of 16 years must be accompanied by an appropriate adult.

Strictly no animals are allowed on site at any time, however Guide/Assistance dogs are permitted when pre-arranged with the venue.

Open fires are not permitted on the campsite (no wood burning). Barbecues are permitted but must be raised off the ground. Please dispose of coals and single use barbecues (once cool) in the metal bins provided.

Never leave a hot stove or barbeque unattended. Keep roadways and fire lanes clear at all times. Store fuel and generators away from ignition sources. Fire extinguishers are located at various fire points around the campsite. Use only in an emergency and raise the alarm immediately.

The campsite speed limit is 5mph. Only drive if strictly necessary and watch for children.

Secure tents and gazebos carefully - always prepare for high winds!

Never use a portable barbeque or gas burner inside a tent, awning or enclosed space (for cooking, or heating when cold). A cooling barbeque can also give off poisonous gas.

Never run a generator inside a tent, awning or confined space. Consider purchasing a Carbon Monoxide alarm and use it inside your caravan or motor home if running an installed gas appliance.

Always check your gas cylinder for damage before using. Maintain good ventilation when using portable gas (remember to use it outside only).

Never smoke near any gas cylinder and keep all ignition sources away.
