What is NASCAR Infield Camping?
NASCAR infield camping puts you inside the race track—in the grassy or paved area surrounded by the racing surface. Unlike camping in parking lots or external campgrounds, infield camping means you're literally steps away from the action.
The infield typically offers different zones with varying amenities and views:
- Wall Spots – Premium positions right against the inside retaining wall with unobstructed track views
- Interior Spots – Central infield locations, often near facilities and gathering areas
- Lake/Pond Areas – At tracks like Daytona, camping around infield lakes offers unique views
- Garage Adjacent – Some tracks offer spots near the garage area for pit access
Most infield areas accommodate Class A motorhomes, Class C RVs, travel trailers, and fifth wheels. Size restrictions vary by track and specific spot location.

Pro Tips for First-Time NASCAR Campers
Arrive Early
Gates often open Wednesday or Thursday for race weekends. Arriving early gives you time to set up, meet neighbors, and enjoy pre-race activities.
Bring Cash
While many vendors take cards, cash is king for buying supplies, tipping service workers, and transactions with fellow campers.
Know the Gate Rules
Each track has specific rules about what you can bring in. Glass containers, drones, and fireworks are typically prohibited. Check the track website.
Make Friends
The infield community is incredibly welcoming. Introduce yourself to neighbors—you'll share food, drinks, and stories all weekend.
Stay Hydrated
Race weekends are marathons, not sprints. Alternate alcoholic drinks with water, especially in summer heat.
Book Services in Advance
If your spot doesn't have hookups, arrange for generator rental and waste pumping before race weekend. These services book up fast.
How to Book NASCAR Infield Camping
Booking infield camping requires planning ahead. Here's the process:
- Check the track website – Each track manages its own camping sales, typically through their official site or Ticketmaster.
