JoeHeitzRules Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 This will be our teams first trip to the glenn. Is it best to stay at the track? We would be in tents. Or should we get a hotel for comfort? What hotels are good to check out? Are they close to the track? Would love some input to make my accommodations planning easier. Thank you. planning easier.

moortom Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Edit: I've been told camping actually has been allowed. I don't think they allow camping at The Glen. There are a lot of state parks nearby though. If you like to party and don't need five start accommodations then the Seneca Lodge is the place to be. Otherwise just find a local hotel or airbnb.

I stayed at a hotel 35 min away from the track and had to drive on a gravel road for 20 miles. Since I had a rental car it got a bit crazy, animals were injured in the making of that faux rally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mashley Adison Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 WGI has added showers all over the place. WE camped at the state park last time but will stay at the track from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technical Advisory Committee NigelStu Posted February 12, 2018 Technical Advisory Committee Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 My team camped there once. There are a couple of smaller tent camping areas available. It was frigid. Very frigid. Middle of summer, no problem, but near edges of the warm season you'd likely have a better experience staying somewhere with heat. There are a number of AirBNB places around there as well. Last time we ran at the Glen, we snagged a really nice house that was just up the hill from downtown with easy access to great food, breweries and quick drive to the track. Asa bonus, it was a chunk cheaper than hotels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hassan Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 We camped at the track in 2017. We didn't have any issues. I would do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheins Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 This will be our third year of renting a house on the lake. you can find them on vbro, airbnb and fingerlakespremierproperties.com Our drive to the track is about 25-30 mins and it never seems like a hassle or too far.

What are some other places to check out while in town? There is a good BBQ place in town that we always go to along with the pizza place/Italian place. The Lodge is good for dinner. Avoid the Mexican place in the house. The worst service I have had. If you have some extra days the state park is a must see. I'll be there this year as well so that's all that matters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shutupracing Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Glen Mountain Bakery and Deli has good breakfast and lunch options. Try to order ahead if possible, they are not very quick. Watkins Glen State park if you have time. Families/Spouses/Children would enjoy Corning Museum of Glass if not at the track. Plenty of wineries for those 21+. Corning and Ithaca have the best food options if willing to travel 30 minutes or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Yeah, after years of going to the Glen, we finally took time to see the park, and it was great. It's also adjacent to the Seneca Lodge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
