Has anyone camped here? We're planning on going in June. Official rules call for generator exhaust to exit over roof level as well as no generators past 1am, which may be problematic in Texas around that time of year? Let me know if you've actually camped there or have any experience in the area that doesn't have hookups.
I did (the original poster to this thread). Good experience overall and nicely situated with respect to the track entrance at turn 11.
At that time you could run your generator if it was built-in to the RV - no externals.
We didn't have hookups and it wasn't a problem. Actually used the porta-poties that were just down from our spot.
Here was our lot M spot and our rented class C:
I would do it again. The Formula 1 race, which was attended by 160,000 people, we found getting in and out was pretty packed (local roads, etc.), but once we were there and setup shop, it wasn't too bad. One night we took a Taxi back from Austin. They didn't allow cabs to Lot M - expecting all cabs to come and go from the designated area about 2.5 miles away - but our guy took us to Lot M anyway for a steeper fee, of course.
Our Class C was a rickety 100,000 mile rental machine whose best days were a damn sight in the rearview mirror. My ultimate take away? Next time I'm doing it with my own clean relatively new Coleman Cobalt popup.
