The Estrella War site has four separate parking areas for vehicles, trailers and RVs:

• GENERAL PARKING (free)
• HANDICAPPED PARKING (free)
• PAID PARKING ($20)
• DRY/WET RV PARKING (limited number)

The following guidelines apply for all of these parking areas:

• CAR TAGS: Each vehicle, detachable trailer and/or RV you bring must be issued its own Car Tag at the Front Gate. Car Tags must be completely filled out to show the driver’s personal and SCA information, and the license plate number for that vehicle, trailer, or RV. Car tags must be visible in the windshield of your vehicle or taped on the side of your trailer for the entire War. Vehicles parked without a Car Tag will be towed immediately at the owner’s expense. Vehicles used to leave site will not be allowed to re-enter the site without a properly displayed and completed Car Tag.
• ONLY PARK IN DESIGNATED AREAS: All parking areas are clearly marked at the site, and vehicles, trailers and RVs must be parked in those designated spaces. Fire lanes and all roads must be kept clear at all times! Unattended parked vehicles, trailers or RVs (even those with a valid Car Tag) that are found in a fire lane, in a camp, on a grass area, or parked in a lane/roadway will be towed immediately at the owner’s expense.
• PARK IN THE CORRECT PARKING AREA: The Car Tags you are issued at the Front Gate identify the parking area you must use. Vehicles found parked in the wrong parking areas will be towed at the owner’s expense. For example, you must have a Handicapped Parking Car Tag to park in a Handicapped Parking space; you must have a Merchant Parking Car Tag to park in the Merchant Parking lot, etc.

We ask that all attendees review the Site Rules on this website, and the driving and parking regulations printed in the Estrella War Gate book given to you when you arrive to be sure you understand the site road layout and where to park while you unload and after you are done unloading your things.

GENERAL PARKING:

Free general parking is provided at the site for the vehicles and trailers you bring to the event. Check your Gate book or the site map for the location of the regular General Parking lots and move your vehicles and trailers there as soon as you have finished unloading.

• Each vehicle and trailer must have its own Car Tag displayed in the windshield or taped onto the vehicle. Please be sure you ask for the proper number of Car Tags you need at the Front Gate when you arrive.
• Trailers must be unhitched and left in their own separate parking space, unless a tandem parking space has been specifically requested.
• Park only up against a berm (mound of dirt separating fields). Do not park in the middle of a field or pulled up against the bumper of another vehicle. Do not block any roadways.

TANDEM PARKING:

A limited number of tandem parking spaces will be available, on a first-come first-served basis. The tandem parking lot will allow vehicles and attached trailers to park together.

PAID PARKING:

A limited number of Paid Parking spaces are available.  You may not pre-register for paid spaces. Spaces are assigned on a first-come basis until gone and can be purchased at the Front Gate upon arrival.

HANDICAPPED PARKING:

Free handicapped parking spaces are provided for persons who provide a hanging mirror placard, or vehicle registration showing handicap plates, when they check in at the Front Gate. A special Handicapped Car Tag is then issued to authorize handicapped parking in the designated handicapped spaces at the site. Individuals, who arrive in vehicles with handicap plates, but without a hanging mirror placard or vehicle registration, will only be issued a handicapped pass after a designated staff member walks to their vehicle and confirms the handicapped logo on the plates. If you arrive when the Front Gate is busy or short staffed, you may be asked to wait until Front Gate personnel are available to do this, and the wait could be substantial.

RV PARKING:

A limited number of Wet (4 spaces at 20ft wide and 36ft long) and Dry (25 spaces at 18ft wide and 36ft wide) RV parking spaces are available for a small fee (see schedule below) for RVs and camp trailers.  These spaces are limited and therefore a raffle will be held to assist in assigning spaces to War attendees (see schedule below).

To enter the raffle, you MUST pre-register using a PAPER form and submit an email address where you will be notified once the raffle has been held.  Notifications will be sent out promptly on Februrary 24th, 2012 to all raffle participants via the email addresses provided on your paper pre-reg form.  If you should be assigned an RV space, your RV parking fee will be due on arrival to the War at the Front Gate; once your fee has been paid you will be issued your RV parking pass at that time.

Gypsy wagons or other “wagons” that are of total period appearance are allowed to “camp” within the tent areas.  Wheels must be covered appropriately and there is no dumping of any kind allowed in the camping areas; should dumping need to occur you will need to move to the RV area to do so.  Parking of these trailers/campers is subject to review by the Site Coordinator and the Mains and you may be asked to move to Dry RV parking if ambiance requirements are not sufficient.

Schnepf Farms will have a limited number of Wet RV spots available to reserve separately from Estrella War for a fee (see schedule below).  You may contact Schnepf Farms directly at 480-987-3333 to reserve your spot; All fees for direct reservations will be managed by Schnepf Farms and not Estrella War.  There will not be any Dry RV spot reservations available through Schnepf Farms for this event.   Note that These “Wet” RV spaces are a service of Schnepf Farms and are not related to the SCA, Inc. or the Kingdom of Atenveldt, and these spaces are not managed or run by the Estrella War staff.

Trucks used to pull your camp trailer or RV may not be parked in the Dry RV Parking lot—these must be parked in General Parking.

There is NO tent camping allowed in the RV parking area.  Please limit the use of day shades and/or outside equipment due to the close-quarter nature of the RV parking.  Share the space with your neighbor.

There are NO fire pits of any kind allowed in RV parking due to the inherent safety concerns.

Personal Generators:  Generators that are the modern “quiet” type (where the noise is very minimal) may be used any time. Generators that are NOT quiet must be turned off at night. Estrella war has a general noise curfew of 2:00 AM. However, please remember to be courteous to your neighbors.

Fires in RV:  Fires are not allowed in RV parking due to inherent safety concerns.  Fires are only allowed in regular camping areas and must follow the firepit guidelines outlined in the Site Rules.

RV waste pumping for RVs is in Dry RV parking spaces can be arranged through our Porta-John vendor. To schedule a time for your RV to be pumped please call "coming soon".
