Camping

Camping is available on the show grounds. Due to the possibility of the camping field being closed because of rain, no pre-registration of camping spots is available. Camping is $5 per person for the weekend (in addition to spectator and show registration fees).

Camping Rules

  • Camping spots on the field are first come, first serve.
  • Only VW and tent camping is allowed inside the gate. Depending on the condition of the field and the weather forecast for the weekend, small, lightweight vintage and pop-up campers may also be permitted, at Camp Jordan and Bug-a-Palüza staff discretion.
  • Water and electricity hookups are available on a limited basis. Bring your own drop cords and water hoses.
  • The camping field will open at noon on Friday. The gate will be closed from 11 PM Friday until 6 AM Saturday and 11 PM Saturday until 6 AM Sunday. Vehicles will only be allowed in and out of the field in emergencies during these times.
  • Local noise ordinance must be observed (keep the noise down after 11 PM).
  • All camp and cooking fires must be off the ground.
  • Pets must be on a leash and owners must clean up after them.

RV Camping

RV sites are on a gravel lot and have water and power hookups and are within walking distance of the show. You may set up camp in the RV area beginning on Thursday. Camping fee for the RV area is $10 per site, per night (regardless of the type or size of RV or people camping). Spectator fees are separate.

VW and tent campers who show up before 12 PM on Friday will be asked to set up in the RV area.
