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. Spaces are assigned on a first-come basis until gone.
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 "dry" and "wet" RV parking spaces are available for RVs and camp trailers. Spaces are assigned on a first-come basis until gone.
To reserve a space in the Dry RV Parking lot, please the check the appropriate box in the “Camping Information” section of the pre-registration form. You must provide a valid email address in order to receive additional instructions regarding RV camping. You will receive an email from the Pre-Registration Coordinator shortly after you register verifying if you have been issued a dry or wet RV space.
An additional fee may be required for any RV space as these are not owned or maintained by Estrella War. If the site owner chooses to charge a fee for RV parking, the fee will be included in your notification letter. Any RV fee will be payable to Canyon Moon Ranch upon arrival to the site.
If you decide to decline your RV space, please send notification to the Pre-Registration Coordinator at preregistration@estrellawar.org so that we may provide the space to another interested party.
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.
