On Site Camping

    Home On Site Camping

    On-site Camping

    Camp on the fair grounds:

    Don’t feel like driving to a hotel in-between the two days of the Games?  Stay right on the fair grounds and don’t miss a thing.

    The camping area is situated in a tree grove outside gate three.  There are roughly 20 sites with hookups (power & water) at $40 a night, and roughly 30 tent sites at $30 a night.  Sites are first come, first serve once registered, but a site is guaranteed.  The camping area opens Friday before the games for those registered for a site.  Walk – Drive in’s welcome providing there’s space available.  Registration opens early June and closes when sites are filled or the Wednesday before the games.

    Persons camping have access to showers and bathrooms that are located within the fair grounds entrances just a short walk from the camping area.

    **Registration and payments will be taken online via credit card.**
