Eppinettes camping

[BigRobbo]

Has anyone ever seen a plot layout of Eppinettes? Are there triple pitches similar to Maison Blanche? Never been on here before, so any help would be much appreciated

[Rick101]

Open plan. First there gets the best spot.

I don't think the plan has escaped yet.

Due to access, plots are double rows or 2x2 blocks, so 3 passes don't fit too well

Thanks for that

My pleasure, but this is Le Mans and it could all be different this year.

I've got a pitch on Epinettes this year, is there any electric, or am I going to be on battery power for a week?

No official electricity, but people daisychain off the power supply box for the toilets/showers, so you should be able to link in with your neighbours.

[LawrieC]

Yes, there are a few proper power points but they're covered in double adaptors etc very early on.

We rely on solar and backup generator

Thanks for the pointers, I'm intending to get there the day they open the campsites up, whenever that is, still in the dark about that I guess?

Friday the week before

Is it? Heard that it was Sunday?
The ACO are involved so it could be bloody shrove Tuesday....

Was Sunday until last year, now Friday to tie in with the scrutinering days.

Think Mulsanne and Arnage don’t open till later in the week though

[LawrieC]

That sounds about right, but do check nearer the time.

Just make sure you get there before the Dutch - they're probably queuing up now to get in

[Den Den]

I remember years ago seeing the biggest bloody tent that's ever been made down near Mulsanne containing a dining table inside big enough for 30 with a couple of chandeliers hanging over it. My exclamation of astonishment was met with 'they're Dutch' from a passer by. I hope they're not in Epinettes this year or there won't be room for anyone else.

Maybe it’s best the possible AMR/Red Bull Valkyrie with Jos and Max plus 1 never made the grid

It was actually Friday last year. We were there. Had the choice of all the EHU's but they were pretty much all taken by Tuesday. Then people start making trees of EHU splitters.

Yes, that’s what I meant, last year being the first year of Friday opening
