Camping out at shows

Lots of camping still going on in the NW states. I've heard we are still in the Old West.

 

I camped out in Kalamazoo due to necessary and had better time that if I had a motel room. Didn't camp at the show site, but at a really nice county park.
note to self: re waterproof tent

 

goodguys puyallup has a campground right across the street in back...pretty empty the last 2 years.....motorhome site next door was packed.....woodburn oldies weekend has camping and a dance saturday night....always fun ..!!!

 

We camped out at Symco Shakedown last year . FUN FUN FUN !!!! I can not wate to go this year !!! Super fun. Running water close to the tent would have been nice ... but we lived and i will do it agian. We cooked on the campfire , and slept rite next to the river !

 

Camping at shows has become a fun neccessity for us. Cheaper than the hotel and a whole lot more fun. Symco Shakedown, Rust Revival, Torque Fest, KKOA Leadsled Spectacular......Have tent will travel!!!!

 

Billetproof Washington and Texas have camping on site for anyone that wants to.
Billetproof CA has camping for vintage trailers only.

Billetproof Washington Drags has camping on site for anyone that wants to.

 

I've camped in the back of my Suburban in a hotel parking lot at Billetproof, Florida twice, and slept in the back of the truck on the way to and from the Lonestar Roundup this month.

While not actually "at" the event, when we went to Paso we would camp out at an RV park about a mile outside of town.
The owners only charged us $10.00 per car load, per night.
When leaving the first year, a regular told us that the area we had been in was normally used as a dog run (1st pic).
We now laughingly refer to the place as Dog **** Acres, and stayed there a few more times, but requested sites on the opposite end of the facility (2nd pic).

 

Have not yet, but I fully intend to!

 

Anybody in Wayland Mo at the Rust Revival have any room that i could set up a small tent saturday of the show?

 

Some friends camped at symco last year. Right on the river, it was beautiful.

 

Camp spaces at Symco are only $20 for the weekend and we serve a darn nice breakfast each morning for only $5. Showers are makeshift but decent and you have the river to swim in if you wish. Can't get more fun than this!!

I have camped all of the shows davidwilson listed above. Rodding and camping seem to go together IMO.

 

Theres 2-3 shows near us where we camp. Theyre not huge, but laid-back and fun.
Just sit and relax.
