I'm looking for some info about the camping areas at the big race next weekend and I haven't gotten a reply to my emails from MX Sports, so help a brother out! I'm camping in High Point with a rented RV.
1- How is cell phone service? I have AT&T if that matters.
2- Is there wifi available for the whole area? Will a wifi hotspot work?
3- Is the parking area grass, dirt, or gravel? Is it level or inclined?
4- Is draining gray water allowed? My gray tank is 40 gallons and I'm thinking I might want to drain some off and refill from a 50gal drum I planned to bring. 3 guys camping/showering Thurs-Sun, I might not need to worry about this but I can't help considering it. I don't have primitive camping experience. Any thoughts?
5- What is the traffic going to be like between the track and town? I'm packing to stay put once I arrive on Thursday, but a Saturday grocery run might need to happen. Is it all 2 lane or 4 lane? The RV is staying put, but I'm bringing a truck as well.
Thanks for any help or input, I'm excited and ready to roll outta Mississippi headed for the races ASAP!
I have been to 4-5 MX Nationals there, here's my input during that...
1. Was actually surprised on how good the service was day of race. (Have AT&T)
2. Highly doubt there will be any wifi networks to jump on.
3. Parking / campsites areas depend on what spot you are at. Some are gravel / asphalt grinds, others seem to be grass.
4. Cant help there sorry, haha
5. Crawfordsville is very small town, mostly one lane each direction to the track from town. If I had guess its going to be a mess.
*6. I have an extra High Point Camp spot if anyone is looking! Thurs-Sunday 20'x55' 🤣🤘
*7. Pray for a dry weekend... I was at the inaugural National mudder race and was the sloppiest race I'd ever been to as a fan.
*8. Cant Wait! GO USA!!!
The cell service may overload the tower like it does sometimes at nationals. Best bet would be starlink.
Dumping the grey is a big no no if you get caught anywhere for obvious reasons. I’d assume more than likely it will be running right into the feet of your neighbors rig.
The few times I’ve been there I’ve been surprised with how much level camping they do have but can’t speak for your area.
This is the High Point area on the left side so its grass with gravel roads and as I recall its pretty level and I would guess drainage angle's towards the woods..
When so many get there cell will probably barely work. Starlink is a good idea.
We will be High Point neighbors
I'm in High Point as well. Don't dump your gray water. Sites are going to be way too close together for that. Dump it in a 5 gallon bucket and walk it to the woods if you have to. Better yet, manage your water usage to match your tank size. There are supposed to be shower trailers on site.

High point as well. Has anyone heard anything about staging campers before hand? I feel there is no info about alot of things.
I live in Lafayette Indiana 30 miles from the track. I’ve been to every Iron Man race that they’ve had. I posted a satellite view and I circled all the camping and parking areas in Brown. All those areas are as flat as you can imagine it’s all flat farm ground. The camping area by the track is grass, but the roads are gravel or crushed asphalt. The camping parking areas across the road from the track are grass farm land but flat. I also highlighted all the roads leading into Iron Man. There are at least four different ways you can go in and out of the Iron Man facility. So I don’t think traffic is going be a massive issue? If you run into heavy traffic, I would look to go to one of the alternate roads entering into the track. Also there is a Walmart 1 mile away from the Iron Man track. Also a lot of restaurants like Buffalo wild wings. Crawfordsville is a town of about 15,000 people. There is a major interstate running right along the north edge of town.
Also, I’d like to mention that a friend of mine is offering their beautiful Lakehouse up for Airbnb for the motocross of Nations. I’m posting a link.
