If you’ve never camped at Circuit of The Americas (COTA) during NASCAR weekend, you’re missing out on one of racing’s best-kept secrets. From sunrise tailgates to the glow of campfires under Texas skies, camping turns race weekend into an all-out experience—and fans can’t stop talking about it.
Your Front-Row Ticket to the Action
When NASCAR returns to COTA February 27–March 1, 2026, campers get something no grandstand can offer: the full weekend, from start to finish. You’re not just showing up for the race—you’re living it. Picture waking up to the sound of engines warming up and having your morning coffee just a short walk from the track.
Whether you’re in a tent, an RV, or one of COTA’s premium backstretch camping spots, you’ll be surrounded by energy, excitement, and a community that loves NASCAR as much as you do.
The Ultimate Weekend with Friends
Ask anyone who’s camped at COTA, and they’ll tell you: it’s not just about the race—it’s about the people. Fans gather for cookouts, cornhole, and conversation that lasts well into the night. It’s the kind of atmosphere where you show up as strangers and leave with new friends (and maybe a few grilling secrets).
Comfort and Convenience
COTA’s campgrounds are designed to make things easy. Spacious sites, clean facilities, and friendly staff make setup simple so you can focus on fun. Premium options, like backstretch RV camping, offer prime locations and upgraded amenities, while general camping provides an affordable way to stay close to the action.
You’ll have everything you need—just bring your gear, your crew, and your racing spirit.
Stay for the Fun Beyond the Flag
Camping means you don’t have to rush out after the race. Stay for the concerts, driver appearances, and all the extra events that make NASCAR at COTA one of the most exciting weekends on the schedule. Whether it’s your first NASCAR race or your tenth, camping gives you the time to enjoy it all.
Why Fans Keep Coming Back
Year after year, campers rate NASCAR at COTA as one of their favorite racing weekends. The energy, convenience, and sense of community make it something special. Once you camp here, you’ll wonder why you ever did NASCAR any other way.
