Camping
From the Fairgrounds Director:
We have some available motor home or camper spaces available. We also have a place where we can allow tent camping. It depends on the layout of the course. I don't want to put the campers in the middle of where you might want to run the
race. We have showers and bathrooms available for their use.
We have about 40 RV spaces. with water and electricity (We do not
have a tank dump area). $25/night.
Our tent camping space is a big field. Number of
spaces is hard to say. Basically people would park their cars and set up
there tents by their cars. Cost is $10/night
No reservations this year. Campers will need to check in
at the Fairgrounds office. Pay the fee and they will get a tag for their
windshield showing that they have paid. If they come and no one is in
the office they can set up camp and I will collect from them as I do a
walk through and check for the tags. First come, first served.
I would like to encourage people to use the campgrounds at Fort Stevens, the KOA and Campers West. They are
all nice facilities.
