Inside the oval at Kansas Speedway, the team haulers come through the vehicle tunnel before a single car turns a lap, past infield grass already filling with RVs in long rows. By race day the awnings are out, the chairs are set up on the grass, and the roar off the grandstand carries over every lot inside and outside the fence. Sleeping on site keeps the whole weekend on foot, from the first laps to the last cooler loaded back in.
The track runs two NASCAR weekends a year, and as of October 2026 its spring and fall camping pages list the next ones in early May and at the start of October. It sells RV camping by the weekend in its own lots: Reserved Infield inside the oval, Richmond, Phoenix outside the gates on the Turn 4 side, and the Turn 1 and Turn 3 Terraces. The infield, Richmond and Phoenix all lay out grass sites of roughly 20 by 45 feet, and generators are allowed (Phoenix Campground).
Hookups stop at the two terraces, which have electric and water. Every other lot is primitive, so the weekend runs on the rig's tanks and a generator. Water fill and pump-out come by request from a list at the campground entrance tent, and anything asked for after 5 p.m. is serviced the next day (Kansas Speedway camping rules).
The night before, Walnut Grove RV Park in Merriam is the place to arrive topped off. It's gravel rows behind a city street with a general store and propane on site, and every site has full hookups, with a dump station on the grounds. Fill the fresh tank and empty the black tank there before the primitive lot. The park holds only 50 lots and fills fast around conventions and events, so if it's full, Cedar Ridge at Clinton Lake works as the overflow night while its season is open.
Book the race lot before the rig. As of October 2026 the spring lot list shows the terraces sold out with a waitlist, and the motorhomes listed around Kansas City go fast on race weekends for the same reason the lots and Walnut Grove do. The lot you land also decides what you rent, since the terraces take self-driven RVs only, while Reserved Infield and Richmond also take fifth wheels and pull-behinds. Two people doing the race light can take the same weekend in a smaller vehicle.
Bloomington East on Clinton Lake
When there's no race on, the week goes to Clinton Lake, where the Corps of Engineers' Bloomington East park runs its campground loops along a prairie shoreline under cottonwood and oak. Days go to the water, and on Saturday evenings from May through September the historic stone smokehouse amphitheater holds programs. It's the Corps' largest and most developed park on the lake, with over 400 campsites, which is room enough for a family to park the rig and stay put for a week.
Summer in eastern Kansas is hot enough that power is the point, and all three loops here have electric and water. Cedar Ridge is the easy motorhome pick, with many pull-through sites, a handful of 50-amp pads and the longest season of the three. Walnut adds a 50-amp tier with sewer for a full-hookup week, and Hickory fills out the park with more electric sites (Corps of Engineers, Clinton Lake).
Lock the site through Recreation.gov before you book the rig. The Corps' Clinton Lake page publishes no length limit for these loops, so match the rig to the site you actually reserved.
Across the lake, Clinton State Park and the North Shore trails, along with Hillsdale Lake, are weekends written up for a smaller rig. Perry Lake goes with the Topeka trips, and the bigger lakes farther out in the state are on the Kansas RV page.
