Hotel / motel in / AirB&B near Grand Bend for Racer5 track days

Nope, no electrical for the public. No starbucks but there's a Tims in town.

You have a tool battery collection? All the major tool color brands have small inverters.

If I'm camping or sleeping in my vehicle, is there somewhere I can plug in electrical devices, even just to top off? I likely have to bring my laptop and do some work, and don't want to deal with a generator.

They do have extension cable running in the tent where you will rest between laps in camp chairs, you can probably borrow an outlet but the entire place is gravel and will be packed (see pic)

I don't recall seing any electrical connection in the "designated" camping area. I remember charging my phone by running the van in the afternoons. One day I went to the local Tim Hortons and spent around one hour there waiting for my phone to charge.

I would invest in a good/large power bank.

It can be used later on as well not just for Grand Bend weekends.

What's going on in that picture? Are they watching instructional videos? And the white canopies outside - are those individual students' canopies or other?

Should I bring my own canopy?

That's a good idea - I don't have more than one or two tools from any one brand, but possibly one or two from every brand.

However, I did just coincidentally receive an inverter from Amazon for Dewalt 20V, and my sister has about a half dozen of those batteries.

Plus to @shanekingsley 's point, I also have a small army of power banks. I guess I might be sorted.

How was your camping experience ? Is there plenty of room, or do I need to stake out a spot early?
