I may be about to swap my camping tickets for MB this year. The team have previously stayed in Musee for many years.
We plan to arrive at lunchtime on the Wednesday to pitch our 5/6 tents, few gazebo's, etc, usual stuff. Is there any decent space left at this time. Also where is it best to pitch the tent (if there is space of course). Any other useful tips for the campsite.
Thanks in advance.
Tony

Thanks Chris. Depending upon spaces (I am arriving on Wed lunch time) where is the best place to try and pitch the tents.

Tony, there's some weird sh*t goes down in MB. Take your pi-meter with you, and try and stay in the more stable areas. And keep away from the Smokie zone, last time I walked past there it sounded like a cross between a sawmill and a slaughterhouse, and that was only about one in the afternoon.
By Wednesday lunchtime you should still have a decent choice of spots. Our intrepid lads who were slingshotting round the Kuyper belt have sent back a couple of early photos, and I've posted one below. It's early days in their journey yet, but you can see that there's still quite a choice of pitches.

Furthermore...
This might help Tony, below is pic of MB taken on Wednesday 2004 (am and AD).
Also, here is a picture of my a*rse taken on Sunday morning, although I doubt if that is any help.

We were on Houx last year and you don't have to show any sort of pass to get in and out so it would seem that as long as you are happy to walk there any sites showers / loos are open to anyone.

What I am interpreting from the comments is; Good campsite, but shame about the showers. Too few for too many people.
Am I correct in assuming that if I go early for the showers (maybe 7:30/8:00ish), then they are less busy?
Cheers,
Tony

I take it you mean in the evening Tony, as I am sure you will only just be hitting the sack at this time of morning  |

Best time for the showers is about 3 or 4 am. Just before heading off to the fair  |

Mr Cutler will no doubt be recounting how to build your own shower when he gets back online...there was a fine idea in use at Sebring.
