The campsites only went on sale seven weeks ago with all 3000 spots across the paddock and the Reid and McPhillamy Park grounds all snapped up.<\/p>\n

Traditionally those are the only sites that are opened for the 12 Hour given the overall crowd is lower compared to the Bathurst 1000.<\/p>\n

However, the speed at which the available sites have sold has prompted organisers to open expressions of interest for campers who missed out.<\/p>\n

Should there be enough interest, more campsites could be opened.<\/p>\n

Expressions of interest can be registered here<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cCamping has become a cherished tradition of the Meguiar\u2019s Bathurst 12 Hour as fans come from across Australia \u2013 and some from even further abroad \u2013 to experience the event atmosphere first hand,\u201d said event director Shane Rudzis.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are working to identify opportunities to expand our camping offering further for 2027 and if the demand is there, we\u2019ll open more space.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is hugely exciting to see the demand for camping at Australia\u2019s International enduro continue to grow \u2013 it\u2019s an intrinsic part of the event\u2019s culture and history and delivers the atmosphere it is famous for.\u201d<\/p>\n

Entries for the 2027 Meguiar\u2019s Bathurst 12 Hour officially open today.<\/p>\n
