Brickyard Parking & Camping

We stayed in lot 1C for the Indy 500 weekend. We arrived on the evening of Thursday before the race. Upon arrival there are people at the entrance to greet you and then you follow someone in a golf cart to where they want to park you. This is basically a field they allow people to park campers and put up tents. it had been raining the day we arrived so the ground was pretty soft. We followed another camper behind the golf cart to the spot they were going to put us. The camper in front of us ended up getting stuck in the soft ground. Luckily we were able to get situation without getting stuck. The grass in the field was kind of tall and could have used a mow. There's no marked off spots and you're just parked in a field. There is a kind of party type atmosphere here. On saturday there was a group with very loud speakers and music for most of the day. Luckily we were gone most of that day. Since there is no power there are a lot of generators as well. This is not the place to be if you want quiet and privacy as you will get none of that. The reason to stay here is convenience to the race track. The walk from our campsite to the turn 4 gate was about ten minutes. After the race we showered in our trailer, took a nap, and hung out until about 8pm to let the traffic subside. This worked great as we had no traffic issues on departure. The Verizon data was pretty solid. We received more than 60 over the air TV channels. We'd probably stay here again because of the convenience to the track and not having to deal with parking or traffic. However going into it with the mindset that you're there as a means to an end and not there to enjoy camping and to be prepared for the people and noise will make it a better expereience.
