Overview

Section Boot 1 is a reserved infield camping area located along the Boot section of Watkins Glen International’s road course. This map displays campsite rows and numbers, internal roads, traffic flow, and proximity to the racetrack. It is a prime location for fans seeking trackside access to high-speed corners and elevation changes.

Location and Orientation

  • Section Boot 1 is in the infield, adjacent to the upper portion of the Boot, between the exit of Turn 6 and the entrance to Turn 7.

  • It lies just beyond the Inner Loop and backstretch, with the track forming a partial border along the southern edge of the section.

  • Accessible via internal infield roads, often entering from the Backstretch or Inner Loop areas.

Campsite Layout

  • Campsites are arranged in rows labeled A through E.

  • Each row contains individually numbered sites (e.g., A1–A10, B1–B10, etc.).

  • The overall layout forms a curved, rectangular grid, following the contour of the Boot’s track curve.

  • Trackside sites are generally located along the outermost row (Row E), offering the closest views of the circuit.

Traffic and Access

  • One-way internal roads loop through the section, marked with directional arrows for safe and organized entry and exit.

  • Entry is typically from a designated point at the top left of the map, feeding into the internal road that separates the rows.

  • Access is reserved for credentialed vehicles only.

Viewing Experience

  • Section Boot 1 offers some of the most immersive infield viewing, as it sits beside a high-speed section where cars decelerate and turn.

  • Many campsites back up to or face the fence line, giving campers direct visual access to the track.

  • This location is popular among long-time fans and groups due to the action and space available.

Amenities and Features (Typical, Not Labeled on Map)

  • Portable restrooms positioned along internal roads or between rows.

  • Trash and recycling bins placed at access points.

  • Access to nearby water refill or shower trailers may be available in shared Boot zones.

  • Security or check-in staff typically stationed at entry during event weekends.

Accessibility Considerations

  • The terrain is grassy and gently sloped, as this section follows the Boot’s natural elevation.

  • No ADA-specific campsites are labeled, but accessible placement may be arranged via Watkins Glen Guest Services.

  • Guests needing assistance can request proximity to restrooms or shuttle stops located near the Boot or Inner Loop.

Camping Use Guidelines (Implied)

  • All sites are reserved only; campers must occupy the space listed on their permit.

  • Campers must:

    • Stay within assigned site boundaries.

    • Follow quiet hours, fire safety, and generator rules.

    • Display valid credentials on vehicles and wristbands at all times.

  • Only credentialed vehicles and guests are allowed in Section Boot 1.

Overview

Section Boot 2 is part of the infield Boot camping area at Watkins Glen International. This map details a portion of the trackside camping layout along the Boot portion of the road course, featuring reserved campsites with excellent visibility of race action and proximity to infield amenities.

Location and Orientation

  • Section Boot 2 is situated just beyond Section Boot 1, along the long, sweeping turns of the track’s Boot configuration.

  • The area is adjacent to the inside of the circuit, where the track runs downhill and curves through the lower infield.

  • This section is accessible via infield roadways, connecting to the main infield camping loops and internal traffic systems.

Campsite Layout

  • Campsites are labeled in rows by letter (e.g., A, B, C…) and numbered sequentially within each row (e.g., A1–A20).

  • The campsites are arranged in a grid format, with internal service lanes between each row.

  • All sites are reserved, and campers must occupy the exact space listed on their pass or credential.

Traffic and Vehicle Circulation

  • One-way vehicle traffic is designated using arrows on the map, guiding campers in a loop around the campsite section.

  • Entry and exit points are positioned at the edges of the section, with access to other parts of the Boot or infield.

  • The roads allow enough space for RV movement and setup, with pull-in or back-in configurations depending on the row.

Viewing Experience

  • Section Boot 2 offers close-up views of the Boot segment of the track, especially along the back leg of the loop, where vehicles accelerate out of tight corners.

  • Many campsites are along or near fence-line viewing areas, allowing campers to watch the race directly from their site.

Expected Amenities (Typical, not Labeled)

While not specifically marked on this section-level map, campers can expect access to:

  • Portable toilets nearby

  • Trash and recycling bins

  • Access roads and signage

  • Possibly nearby access to food vendors or mobile concessions in adjacent areas

Accessibility Considerations

  • Terrain is mostly grassy and may be slightly uneven, given the infield's rolling layout in the Boot area.

  • This map does not show ADA-designated sites, but accessible camping may be available upon request through WGI Guest Services.

  • Guests needing assistance with mobility or transportation should ask about shuttle options serving the Boot area.

Use and Behavior Expectations (Implied)

    • Staying within reserved site boundaries

    • Following quiet hours

    • Complying with generator use, fire safety, and vehicle movement policies
