camping dates help needed!

Depending on the campsite and size of your group, staying on Sunday night might well be a real downer on
what should otherwise be an excellent trip.. We stayed on Sunday night once and vowed never to do it
again.. The place was empty and lifeless!! Although saying that whilst we leave on Sunday, we do it a
little later than the crowd and stop off on the way home - warm hotel, shower and everything!!
As for turning up early, they used to indicate that you had to pay a supplement if you arrived early, but
on the whole didn't charge it.. Recently they've started to enforce the rules a little more, so definitely
expect to pay if you turn up on Mon or Tues.

I've always enjoyed Sunday night, it does quieten down a lot but if you've been there all week it's nice to have a chance to chill out, pack up everything but the tents for a quick getaway on Monday morning, and see off the last of the beers and the BBQ. There's still plenty of people left on Tertre Rouge and on the roads back to the ports the next morning.
If your camping on one of the busier campsites, Sunday night is great fun! done Houx for several years on a Sunday now, drink up your beer, eat the rest of your food and have a laugh! The 'village', however, packs up within 2 hours of the race finish so don't expect to walk up there Sunday night to busy anything..... it's just tumbleweed! Much more leisurly drive out Monday morning, plenty of decent cars on the road too
