RVING AT THE EVENT

When you go RV camping at a NASCAR event, you get a cozy, up-close view of all the action, and have all your food, drinks, and other necessities just a few steps away. There are several RV campgrounds to choose from at the Darlington Raceway, including East End RV, Infield RV, Grounds Green and Yellow, Grounds Red, Pearson Boulevard RV, and Petty Boulevard RV.

Here are some tips for camping at the Darlington Raceway:

• The largest RV campsites, measuring 20 by 50 feet, are in the East End RV campground. East End RV is also the only area with paved campsites.

• All campsites aside from those at East End RV are on grass, so you may need to take extra steps to level your RV after parking.

• Camping packages are available to bundle your camping rates with two infield ticket admissions. Packages range from $135 to $730 for RVs.

• All campers at the raceway are advised to know the signs and symptoms of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. With many vehicle and generator emissions in the area, make sure to keep your RV well-ventilated for your safety.
