Hi CRS

The camping is included with your $35:00 entrance fee for all 3 nights, nice soft grass under the trees it could not get much better. The Saturday evening Barbeque is also great. They give away piles of door prizes at the dinner. The dinner can sell out as it is in a huge tent when its full its full.
Great show when we went 6 years ago over 100 Rovers, vintage racing with E-types Cobras Corvettes etc. Well worth it.
