Visitor & Driver Tips
To maximize your experience, we recommend using the Pilot mobile app to check real-time availability of reserved parking spots, especially during high-traffic holiday weekends. For sellout events or busy travel days, pre-booking your space is strongly encouraged to bypass the stress of searching for a spot late at night. Ensure your GPS is set to 502 Gordonsville Hwy to arrive directly at the entrance, and be mindful that reserved parking pricing may be subject to demand-based adjustments. Always arrive early if you plan to utilize on-site amenities like showers to avoid potential wait times.
