Even w/ all the bears???
I don't think they've had bear problems there. People wouldn't camp there if they did

Maybe those who know never make it back to tell!
Yes we have bears but we don't have much problem with them. I haven't seen a bear since 2005.. they keep to themselves.
There are supposed to be 80,000 to 100,000 going.
There's no official parking and a ban is enforced around the area.
According to the T&T, the two park & rides can accommodate 3000 cars and the buses will ferry up to 12,000 people. So up to 4 per car.
The Casino has parking for 1700, so that's another 6800 and another field - the largest one apparently can take 2000 cars. So between that field, the casino and the park & rides, that's 6700 cars and 26800 people max. In the biggest lots.
Is there room for three times as many cars in all the other places? Are 50,000 or so going on foot, cycling, drop-offs.
Thee's been parking before and buses for everyone else.
Now there's no parking and no buses unless you get to car parking (by car?).
It looks like a PR disaster, or people car pooling like never before, or loads of people walking it. I really hope it goes well. It could be really bad if it doesn't...and I don't just mean this day.
Someone in Moncton has been doing their sums and is clearly worried.
I'm concerned about parking as well - do you have a link to this article? Will the Casino be offering its parking? There's a field to park in? I don't want to be searching for parking before finding the GA line to sit in all day. Thanks...
I will try and find it again but it was the kind of site where 'Dave is having a bbq on the 30th' was big news
edit. There you go For those going to U2
and it was Dan having the bbq!
It's not that I don't think Canadians don't have indoor plumbing, it's that I'm unfamiliar with campsites.
I'm bringing extra toilet paper, either way. By Sunday, you will all be offering me $20 a square.
or $25.00 US per square.
So this morning I wrote to the concert folks asking for starting times for the bands. They told me the gates open at 3pm, but they still do not have an official timeline for the concert. WTF. I'd like to know when the hell to show up.... they said they don't expect the show to go past 11:30pm
YES, come on, locals, give us the scoop! ;D
How close is the casino to the grounds?
My understanding is that previously they have had 'people turning up for the day' parking by the site and this time they don't and they have changed the bus transport in some way? So whatever worked for the Stones/ACDC etc has been changed, apparently for the worse? If you drive into Moncton on Saturday and all the park and ride bracelets are gone how/where do you park up and get to the site?
just need to bend a tree.....works as a great seat. there should be flushable toilets on the campsite too, canadians aren't that backwards.
I thought of leaving a day early and visting PEI. Is it difficult to get from Charlottetown and back to Moncton?
Wheres PEI GUY?
I'm already trembling in fear of the porta potties' condition by Sunday morning. I am bringing toilet paper, disinfectant wipes, and a flashlight.
Dumb question - if you have a spot reserved and the car "fee" paid, you can park your car in the same spot, right? It's not like cars would be in one area and camping in another?
The only hurdle is the $43.25 toll fee you have to pay when leaving the Island on the Confederation Bridge - it's free to come over but when you try to leave we shake you down and take your money haha
and a flashlight.
Well... they let you take your car to where you want to pitch your tent but they ask that you move it to one of the parking areas after your tent is setup.
So if car = our tent, we might have to sleep in a parking area instead of a tent area. *sigh* Whatever.
Headlamps are your toilet friend.
