If you do not arrive together you will not be parked next to one another.

Group Reservation Guidelines – Currently, we are not adding any additional groups.

Most of our spaces are 20 feet in width and 55 feet in depth. There are a few in each lot that are a slightly smaller due to the lots being temporary. We do ask that you disconnect your tow vehicle prior to arrival at the reservation booth. This allows us to park you quicker in your space.

Rigs are parked as they arrive, in other words there are no assigned spaces. All RVs are parked at AIBF’s discretion; requests can be made but are not guaranteed (*this applies to groups as well as individuals*)

If you wish to be parked next to a specific person, we kindly request that both of you arrive together.

Check-in hours prior to the event are 8:00 AM to 6:45 PM. If you arrive after 6:45 PM* to check-in, you will be staged in line for parking the next morning.

Check-in hours, once the event begins, are 12:00 NOON to 6:45 PM * each day. It is strongly recommended that you arrive before 3:00 PM on days other than Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday to avoid heavy traffic congestion and to avoid delaying your check-in.

*We do not park after dark for safety purposes. If you arrive after 7:00 PM, you will be parked the next morning at 8 AM.*

The only access to water when arriving is at our Standard/Premium lot. We do however have a 3rd party vendor who is onsite for water fills. There is a fee for the fill, please check with AAA Pumping Service about the price on the number of gallons you need.

No, however, we have an on-site pumping service. This is a 3rd party vendor who will come to you and pump your tanks for you. There is a fee of $40.00 per pumping. Please check with the reservation booth/tent for additional details.

Yes, generators are allowed if they are not “construction external generators.” We do ask that you abide by our quiet hours of 10 PM to 5 AM and that they be 2 feet off of the ground.

We do not have a shower station or a place to shower.

Yes, there are portable toilets throughout the various RV sites for guest use. We do ask that you do not throw any trash in the portable toilets.
