Each horse-racing season builds up to one big finish line: the Breeders’ Cup World Championships. It’s the year-end culmination that every jockey, trainer, and owner across the globe has in their sights. Champions are crowned and spectators celebrate as history unfolds before their eyes. The Breeders' Cup showcases 14 races held over two days of exciting events both on and off the track. Expect glamorous fashion, celebrity sightings, and food curated by world-renowned chefs. The 2025 Breeders' Cup returns to Del Mar, the only seaside racetrack in the United States.
This is a popular event in the community, and tickets often sell out. The Breeders' Cup is dedicated to giving fans an intimate experience, and the event attendance will be capped at 45,000 to ensure a fantastic on-track experience for all guests on race day. At the race, you can see over $22 million in purses and awards given out over nine races, culminating in the defining event of the international racing season, the $6 Million Breeders' Cup Classic.
Concessions are typically available for visitors at the Breeders’ Cup, including trackside dining. Security is also provided for the event.
The Breeders’ Cup is held at the Del Mar Racetrack, which is just minutes from the coast in the heart of Del Mar.

The Del Mar Fairgrounds offers camping on-site for the race. There are two RV campgrounds there: The Surf and Turf and Del Mar RV Park. Reservations for the campgrounds can be made up to two months in advance at a total of 118 RV sites. RVers can also stay at a campground in the Del Mar and San Diego area if the Del Mar Fairgrounds RV parks fill up. Here are some excellent options:
• San Diego RV Resort is a suburban campground found right off of Interstate 8. This campground is also near Mission Trails Regional Park, and there are 180 campsites. You can hop on the San Diego Trolley from the campground, or stay for a while to check out the fitness center, outdoor pool, and billiards room.
• Fiddler’s Cove Marina & RV Park is a great option for campers who enjoy water sports. Situated right on the beach, this campground offers camping for military members, and it has boat rentals for military members and their guests.
• Admiral Baker RV Campground is located on the northern edge of San Diego, so it’s fairly close to Del Mar. This campground is unique in that it’s military owned, but civilians may make reservations. Amenities of the campground include a pool, a golf course, tennis courts, and basketball courts.
To make sure your trip goes smoothly, here are some RV camping tips:
• Check with the campground you plan to stay at to see if outside firewood is allowed. If not, bring cash to purchase firewood on-site to help prevent the spread of outside pests.
• Parking for RVs may be limited at the Breeders’ Cup, so consider taking public transportation to the race. There may also be city parking areas that can accommodate large vehicles nearby.
• If you want to make meals in your RV, be sure to pack everything you’ll need before you hit the road. Prepping meals to store in your RV’s fridge or freezer is an easy way to eat healthy while on the go.
If you’d like to stay at a hotel within walking distance of the Breeders’ Cup, you have a few options, such as:
