Camping for Wanganui Boxing Day?

**kinger** · 8th September 2008, 18:11

Can anyone recommend campsites in town close to facilities for boxing day racing socialising?
We're the youngest in our local Ulysses, but the club arranged camping is 20 mins out of town, we'd rather have a beer or three than ride back out of town.
Sorry to leave it late, but want to get on and book now that I've stopped my Mum coming over from UK again this Christmas.
Thanks.

I will have my Buisness trailer there

It is a 6mtr long alloy trailer with a double bed in it.

I MAY BE keen on a watch dog living in it for the night of X mass day, But will be leaving the track as soon as racing finishes, to get to the Taupo round the following day.

PM or email me if you are serious and reliable

I barricaded the door shut when I stayed there
