CAMPING INFO

NO PETS!  Don't get turned away at the gate!  Make arrangements for Fido this weekend, and tell your friends not to bring their pets!

To better enforce the NO FIREWORKS, NO PETS and NO GLASS CONTAINERS rules, there will be a vehicle search at the main gate Wednesday thru Saturday.  All vehicles are subject to search.  See complete list of weekend rules below.

Search Policy:  Vehicles will be searched by security staff upon entry to the property Wednesday through Saturday.  If any fireworks, glass containers or other prohibited items are found, you may remove them from the property yourself or we will dispose of them for you. 

There are two camping areas.   "Lot A" is for families and amateur racers. Anyone under 18 must camp in this lot.   A reasonable noise level "quiet time" is enforced throughout the weekend in Lot A.

"Lot B" is basically the party lot; the camping area on the north side of the road across from LaRocco's Leap.   No one under 18 will be permitted in this lot, even with a parent.  No race bikes in Lot B.  Quiet time enforced at midnight Friday and Saturday in Lot B.  

LOT A camping is available for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. 
LOT B camping is available Friday and Saturday nights. 

The gates are opening Wednesday and Thursday nights as part of the amateur racing program.  ONLY LOT A WILL BE OPEN ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHTS.  Lot B’ers should not show up until Friday morning.  You won’t be able to come in Thursday and camp in Lot A, then move up to Lot B on Friday.

No camping available Sunday night.  There are no electric or water hookups.  We will park you, as you arrive, in the next available space in the lot of your choice. You will not be able to save spots for people who will arrive later. 

LOT A PASS HOLDERS MAY NOT ENTER LOT B at any time on Friday or Saturday, except to access the pro track during the hours that it's open on Saturday.

Enjoy the professional fireworks show at dark on Friday and Saturday nights.

Remember, the main gate will close overnight each night.  There will be no exceptions and no parking on the road near the track entrance.  Please plan your arrival time accordingly.   (Of course you’ll be able to leave overnight if you need to.)
