This is being done out of necessity due to a shortage of parking space on the site. There just isn't a lot of space for cars to be on the site with the amount of campers we have.

This idea is similar to what is used at Pennsic War. For a small fee ($5 Canadian) you will get a parking space for the entire weekend and a pass for your vehicle for parking in the area by troll. We will predetermine the number of vehicles that we can guarantee spaces for (There will be areas marked for roadways with flagging stakes) and we will only issue that number of preferred parking passes. They will be issued on a first come first served basis to insure fairness (no reservations). All other vehicles and any trailers will have to park in the outer (free) parking lot.

THIS IN NO WAY MEANS THERE IS NOT FREE PARKING AT EWP! There is still a large free parking lot not far from the main site (at the conservation area gates) that has for the most part been unused in previous years. It is approximately a gentle 10 minute walk from the parking lot at the main entrance to the site at the top of the hill. I've done it at night and it's wonderful.

Please note, to encourage use of the free parking area we will issue 1 free parking pass to large groups/households so that they can organize a shuttle to and from the free parking area for their groups. Free passes will be issued at the Autocrats discretion. Contact the Autocrats for details.
