Texas Motor Speedway has more rules than any other race track. It appears that those Texan race fans have tried EVERYTHING they could to have an over the top race weekend. That is the only explanation for why there are rules like "No Swimming Pools or Hot Tubs allowed" or "No Stages, Stage Lights, Live Bands or Live DJ’s." The Texas race fans have already tried these novel forms of entertainment at the track and the Speedway folks don't want any part of the good time.
Well if you decide to go to the race there are a few camping places left that won't cost you an arm & a leg. Unreserved camping will be on the west side of the speedway for the Samsung 500 and Dickies® 500 weekends ONLY. There will be 1,700 sites, approximately 20' x 40' available on a first-come, first-served basis. The campsite can be purchased for $75.

Camping in your RV is a great way to experience the weekend at Phoenix International Raceway. There is great racing by day surrounded by the beauty of the majestic Estrella Mountains. If you have just decided to head to the speedway then you only have two choices for camping. There are no hookups, but fresh water and septic service will be available for a nominal fee.
In the Reserved Weekend Camping area you will get a reserved site (20' x 40') that costs $175. You are limited to one tow vehicle per site but there is additional parking available in Estrella 3 at no charge. You enter this camping area at Gate 1. There are showers, restrooms, and a Bashas' grocery store in the camping area.
The Unreserved Weekend Camping area is located in Estrella County Park. The sites are assigned upon arrival, so guests wanting to stay together must arrive together. All types of vehicles are allowed and should enter at Sun Lane, West of day parking lots. Showers, restrooms, and a Bashas' grocery store will be available in the reserved area. The cost is $60 per motorized vehicle.
Remember when the fun's over and it's time to head home, RV covers protect.

Unlike some of the previous races, there is not as much camping available at Martinsville. Most sites are 18 feet wide and 42 feet deep for season ticket holders for the April and October NSC events. There are campsites outside of third turn area, on the left side of Main Campground Road, and near the entrance to the reserved campground area. The majority of camping for Martinsville Speedway is general admission. There is one spot per ticket holder for any type of vehicle. Even tents are allowed.
The Speedway has contracted with a septic service to have your tanks emptied during the week, so are not allowed to rent their own port-a-johns. A minimal fee will be charged. There are some reserved campsites. So you should contact our ticket office at 877-RACE-TIX (877-722-3849) to see if any reserved sites are still available.

If you have just decided to remove the RV cover and spend the weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway you can hang it up staying at the Blue Ox Campground. As a matter of fact it appears that you can hang it up for next year too because they are already creating a waiting list for 2011. The ritzy area for the big bucks is the Medallion Motorcoach Community which is sold on a seasonal basis only. It is a luxury camping that features a private, exclusive "gated community" of 20x50 numbered reserved spaces with power, water and sewer hook-ups. The entire camping area is paved and landscaped and offers special amenities including golf cart shuttle service, WiFi, entry to win Pit Passes and 24-hour assistance/security.
There are two other areas on the BMS. The Landing Campground has spaces that are 20 'x 50' on a flat gravel surface and guests will have full access to the shower house, restrooms, water station and dump station during their stay. BMS shuttles will offer transportation to the shower house as well as the grandstands on event days. Spaces cost $99 per race week and include five nights. The Bristol Motor Speedway & Dragway Area Campground has RV spaces approximately 16-feet x 40-feet for non-hook-up spaces and Premium and Medallion Spaces are 20-feet x 50-feet. There are 44 shower stalls, several dump stations and water to fill your tanks, and free shuttles to the speedway and to Food City.
My husband always wanted to go to Bristol. After all that’s the best short track racing there is, but he found that if you need a bicycle or golf cart for transportation. He stayed on one of the campgrounds outside BMS and some of these camping areas are very far from the track. But you are in luck, there are plenty of entrepreneurs who will ride you in their cart for the nominal fee of $5.00. Check out this link to see all the areas where you can camp at Bristol. http://www.bristolmotorspeedway.com/documents/2009_bms_camping_map_aics.pdf -

On Sunday (Feb 21 and Oct 10) the NASCAR drivers move to the California track in Fontana. If you are bringing your RV to the track you have two options for camping. The Camping World Infield is the area inside the track oval. The Infield RV Pass is good for one self-contained RV and includes two infield wristbands. Children under 12 are free when accompanied by an adult. Entry to the infield (outside of Gate 3) begins on the Thursday morning of race week at 5:30 a.m. BUT remember.... you will not be able to leave the infield area until Sunday night after the race.
Near Gate 5, you can find the other campground, the RVs.com Camping area. This area provides one RV site and 2 Grandstand tickets for the Saturday and Sunday races. The camping area offer showers, restrooms, and a shuttle service to the track. You can begin camping in this campground on the Thursday of race week at 8 a.m. So pull off that RV cover and get the engines purring because its time to “Boogity, boogity, boogity!”

The first time most people remove their RV cover in February is to go to the Daytona 500. Going to the 500 can be a very expensive experience. One way to cut the cost is to stay at a campground in the Daytona Beach area instead of at the track.
One of the closest campgrounds to the track is the International RV Park and Campground which is 3.2 miles away. The facility's roomy campsites are designed to accommodate motor homes up to 40 feet long. Campers can use 50-amp or 240-volt power, and each site has water and sewer hookups. Concrete pads, picnic tables, and pull-thru parking are available on some sites.
Another respectable campground in Port Orange is the Daytona Beach KOA which features RV sites and tent campsites. There are pull-thrus, with a maximum length of 80 feet. Cable TV hookups are provided at no additional charge, and 50-amp electricity is available. Free wireless internet access is also available.
A temporary campground called Speedweeks Campground is located just a mile away from the Speedway. The facility can accommodate both tent and RV campers but is open only during racing weekends. A variety of vendors set up on the grounds, offering various NASCAR merchandise, food, and more. Electrical hookups are not available, but campers are allowed to bring and use generators. Sewer hookups are also not available, but RV campers can purchase daily pump out services. Hot showers are available for campers, as are water stations.

For many people, the first time that people remove their RC cover and venture out in February, is for the Daytona 500. If you want to be in the center of all the action around the speedway and you are having no financial difficulties due to this crummy economy, then you may want to stay at the racetrack and experience the Daytona 500. Everything depends on what you want to experience at the track. Do you want to watch the race from your motor home? If so, you should be looking at camping at Lake Lloyd where you will have the view of the lake and the famed Super stretch. If you want to watch the race at turns one and two, there are a few premium spots in Yellow RV Camping. The premium sites have water, electric, and cable hook-up. I hope that you are really just into the party scene if you are planning on staying at the track. There are not many places in the in-field for the true race fan with a view of the race. The true race fan will be disappointed unless you have cable hook-ups and can watch the race from the comfort of your RV.
If you like the excitement of thousands of race fans all congregating in the same area, then you will enjoy in-field camping. There are many things to see and lots of fun to be had. But prepare yourself, you will only see very small portions of the race and you will be listening to the race play by play over the loud speakers.
