Camping

Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course offers the unique experience and convenience to its customers of on site camping during each spectator race event and on a limited basis during track rental club weekends. Tent, reserved Motorhome/RV, and non-reserved Motorhome/RV spaces are available. Prices, areas and times will vary between spectator and non-spectator events. These regulations will be strictly enforced by the state, and we greatly appreciate your patience and cooperation in abiding by these restrictions. We remain committed to offering our fans camping amenities during each spectator race weekend. Failure to abide by these rules may result in non-refundable removal from the premises. All rules are subject to change.
