Hi everyone

I'm camping at Santa Pod at the beginning of June for my brother's stag do weekend

Just wondered if anyone had stayed there before and could let me know what to expect in the way of 'facilities'

I'm not expecting the ritz, but does anyone know if it's chemical portapotties and if it's worth taking my own or not lol

Many thanks
Ben

That weekend will be absolutely manic. It's the Main Event drag racing championship and will be very very busy. I would definitely take your portaloo, and plenty of baby wipes just in case the showers are too busy. You will love it though, if you have never seen a Top Alcohol dragster you are in for shock, the speed and noise is just unimaginable. Some hit over 300 mph in less than 5 seconds. Fingers crossed for dry weather though, as they can only race in dry weather.

Thinking of going in Sept for the European finals.
