Camp parking question

[panfanman]

Holy pooh.  Been a few years since we've been able to make it to camp.  Last time we were there I recall some traffic patterns had changed so I figured I better look up info on how to get in to the area to park because I couldn't remember.

Boy have things changed by the looks of the diagram.  Use to be you could park fairly close.  Now it appears there's no parking remotely close and the different areas are rather spread apart from each other.

So if we arrive today 10 minutes before the start of practice, which lots do you think will already be filled so as to avoid wasting time looking for park but not necessarily be the hardest one to walk from?

Guess we won't be carrying lawn chairs in from that distance.  I've always said I hope they don't move camp from Spartanburg but the parking situation has become not conducive to a fun, relaxed family experience.

There are shuttle buses.  When I went in 2016 I parked at the theater. Easy.

Where is the theater? Which lot?  And do they charge for parking now?

What time is practice?

Lots A and B are pretty close to the practice fields, but you have to get there early. The others are further out. We parked in lot D Thursday. It is a pretty good walk across part of the campus to the practice fields. I just had my knee scoped about 3 weeks ago, so the walk was rough over uneven terrain. We could have parked much closer in A or B, but this was my first time attending training camp and I really didn't know where to go. We just ducked in the first lot we saw. Friday, we parked in lot A on the third row, but we got there 3 hours before practice started. There, you just cross the street, and go down the walkway to the fields. We did have to wait until the gates opened an hour before practice started.

Thanks everyone.  Not as crowded as I expected and it seemed a lot more organized and straight forward than I expected.  They didn't give you much choice.  Just follow the line of traffic.
