Camping at the Classic.

[Blue 7]

I’ve recently booked ferry & entry tickets for the Classic. I went to the 24 Hours three times in the early 2000s, the last time in 2005, but I’ve never been to the Classic.

Back in the day, we simply turned up with general admission tickets & found ourselves a camping pitch, without pre-booking a pitch. Would that be a feasible option for the Classic in 2026, or am I being naive?

If I need to pre-book camping where’s the best place to do that?

Cheers in advance, any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You’ll need to book a camping space via the ACO site, as you did your GA tickets. Also ensure that you get Paddock tickets to maximise what you can see during the weekend.
Someone will correct me if otherwise but I suspect only the Beausejour site will be available now; it’s not numbered pitches but it’s a big site so there’ll be space somewhere.

Thank you!

I’m sure I looked for camping tickets when I booked the General Admission, but nothing was showing up on the website at the time.

Pitches for Beausejour & Prairie are still available, so I decided to go for Prairie. I’ve booked paddock passes too.

Cheers again! I’m looking forward to it already!

I did it once, never again, poorly organised, massive queues at the few shower and wash points, horrendous noise, very poor tent pitch areas.

Never again, but that would be the whole event not just LM.

I’m feeling nostalgic already!
