Where to Camp Near Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen Weekend

Some of the RV camping spaces at Watkins Glen International come with electrical hookups, but many of them are primitive spots, meaning you'll need to rely on your RV's onboard resources.

Full hook-ups make it simple to keep your RV fully powered and comfortable throughout race weekend. The campground also features Wi-Fi, showers, pools, and laundry facilities, giving you an easy way to relax as you recharge between races. • Another nearby camping spot for RVs is the Clute Memorial Park & Campground (only about 10 minutes from Watkins Glen International).

RV Rental Tips for Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen Weekend

Many of the camping spots on-site and at nearby campgrounds are on uneven terrain, so bring leveling blocks. If you empty your gray and black tanks before arriving, you won't have to worry about dumping them during race weekend. Everyone should have a pair of earplugs to wear during the louder racing events. Don't forget to pack a canopy in case you don't get a camping spot with trees and shade. Bringing a few extension cords can help prevent setup issues if you have a spot that requires additional reach for hookups.
