RVING AT THE EVENT

RV camping has been a vital part of the NASCAR community for decades. Race fans typically set up their campers days before the race and spend the week tailgating, spending time with family, and even meeting their favorite drivers. Martinsville's historic nature makes it even more popular with RV campers who want to catch a race. With nine on-site campgrounds, you can find the perfect spot for your race weekend at the track.

Where to Camp Near the Martinsville Speedway Xfinity 500

Martinsville Speedway has several campgrounds on site. • General Admission • North Lot • South Lot • Crossing's Corner • Hillside • Champion's Overlook • Backstretch Lots at the track often fill up quickly, so you may need to consider an off-site campground. Some nearby options include: • Vaughn's Campground: A 12-minute walk from the track, this location offers multiple hookup options and can handle RVs of all sizes. • Indian Heritage RV Park: This campground is only 2.5 miles from the track. • Creekside RV Park: A little further away, this campground is still only 8 miles from the track.

RV Rental Tips for the Martinsville Speedway Xfinity 500

Most of the campgrounds at Martinsville offer dry camping and have grass parking spots that measure 18' x 40'. Only the South Lot, which has spots measuring 20' x 50', and Champion's Overlook are designed for larger RVs. If you're renting a Class A RV, you'll need to book a spot at Champion's Overlook. The other campgrounds have sites with plenty of space for Class C RVs and camper vans. Champion's Overlook and the Backstretch RV campground are the only options that provide hookups. Both have access to 50-AMP power, but only Champion's Overlook has water access. It's also a good idea to get there early, especially if you're camping in the General Admission lot. This makes setting up easier and can even get you a better spot to spend the weekend. Finally, be sure to consider the weather. Nighttime temperatures can drop into the 30s or 40s, so it's a good idea to pack warm clothes, especially if you plan to spend time outside with your campground neighbors.
