  • Rows are typically marked with letters (A, B, C, etc.) and individual spaces are numbered sequentially.

  • Sites are rectangular and evenly spaced, designed to accommodate RVs, campers, or tailgating vehicles.

TURN 2 TAILGATE ZONE MAP
Download

Overview

The Turn 2 Tailgate Zone (TGZ-T2) at Watkins Glen International is a reserved, trackside camping and tailgating area located along the outside of Turn 2 on the circuit. This map provides a detailed grid of individual campsites, access routes, and site identifiers for campers with reserved spaces in this zone.

Location

  • The TGZ-T2 camping area is positioned just outside the track along Turn 2, a fast, sweeping corner following the Esses.

  • It offers direct visibility of a high-speed section of the course, making it a popular location for motorsport fans who want to camp close to the action.

Campsite Layout

  • Campsites are organized into rows and columns, labeled with letters (A, B, C, etc.) and site numbers.

  • The grid layout allows for reserved, pre-assigned spaces for RVs, campers, or vehicles.

  • Campsites are uniform in size and aligned in straight rows, with lanes for vehicle and foot traffic between them.

Access and Traffic Flow

  • The TGZ-T2 area is reached via internal roads that connect to the main circuit access routes, likely through Gate 2 or Gate 4 depending on traffic management for the event.

  • A service or gravel road runs alongside the campsite area, providing a loop for entry and exit.

  • Pedestrian access is available for guests walking from nearby zones or from shuttle stops, which are likely positioned at adjacent parking or hospitality areas.

Viewing and Amenities

    • Proximity to portable restrooms, which may be located at the ends of rows or along service roads.
