Will you raise some PH flag in the campsite?
There are so many people each year it could be easier for you to find eachother.

I expect the campsite will still be awake when you arrive, just not sober. As a LeMans Virgin, make sure you buy the right shape of beer bottle! The long neck ones are hard to stack!.
