I'll start by saying I haven't attended any pro motocross events in 10-15 year range. I use to tent camp and be all about the party. However, now that I'm middle aged with a family, me and a buddy are just wanting to go check it out in a more calm manner. I have a 20x55 spot booked at the RedBud lot.

My question is do I bring the 37' camper I use with my family or my smaller moto trailer that I camp out of at the races. Just going to be me and a friend. Not going to lie, my own bathroom and real shower sounds nice. But I can do without if that would be overkill. I really just don't want to mess my camper up if it's too wild or too crowded. Hell, I seen one get burnt to the ground at RedBud one year lol. Any other tips for the weekend? Thanks

While at MXdN you’ll be

Be reckless. Shotgun a beer with someone from another country. Hit the random slip and slid someone built in the camping area. Get sweaty and dirty as hell


So a hot shower at night is recommended. Pinky up fool

Bring the camper and rear plugs if you hope to get any sleep.

Bring the bigger rv be comfortable. 99% chance you will be good. Just make sure your insurance is up to date if you fall on the other 1%.

I appreciate the input! I'll bring the big camper and ear plugs. Hopefully won't need the rear plugs 😂 I guess where I haven't been to one in so long and use to tent camp I was just nervous about showing up with the big rig.

We will be in High Point RV lot too. Should be a good location. I think the track entrance is right there.

I have not gotten anything like that. I didn't even get an email with my tickets. I have to log in to view and print them I guess. Wondering if the spots will be marked off and we have a designated spot? First come first serve? First come but still marked off? Again I'm a newb at this is why I posted the question lol so any insight would be appreciated. 

Edit to add....I'm assuming the upper end camping lots will be marked off. But the red bud site I'm at looks like a field they just opened up. Wondering if it will be like at local races where you just park wherever 🤷‍♂️ I won't be able to get there until late Thursday night a little worried about trying to find a spot at night and don't know if they have time for gate close either.

My tickets and camping info came from an email address that just said "Universe" as the sender and the email address was tickets@universe.com. very easy to miss or have sent to junk mail.
