Greetings! We camped at Lot N for the first time last year and we'll never go back to staying in a hotel and dealing with traffic. I wanted to compile a post as a reference for those coming to Lot N for the first time this year.

Reservations

As of May 10th, you can still pick up Lot N passes for $875 for the weekend at this link.

This reservation includes a pass for (1) car or tow vehicle and (1) camper. It is not a 'per person' charge in any way.

This lot does not include any power or water services, but I will go into that later.

Lot N Timing

Lot N officially opens at noon on Thursday and closes at noon on Monday. Spots are 'first come, first served'.

We arrived at noon on Thursday to a pretty long line but got a prime spot. "Check-Out" seems pretty laid back on Monday so I'm sure nobody is there standing around waiting on you to leave by noon on Monday.

If you arrive on Friday, good luck finding a spot. I believe in you.

If you have entered the lot early on Wednesday, please send me a DM for my own personal reference ;)

Renting a Camper

This is the route we go. We've used both Outdoorsy and RV Share. We have simply rented a fifth-wheel and had it delivered and set-up on our spot. Delivery can be pricey and varies wildly based on the unit, but all in for (4) nights after fees, taxes, delivery, etc. we've spent between $1,200 and $1,600 for a fifth-wheel camper.

Make sure to communicate with your provider before booking to make sure they accommodate the drop-off and pick-up times. Most people work regular jobs and don't have availability to drop-off and pick-up on Thursday / Monday.

Also confirm the type of generator they have. Also, and many units don't have them even when it's listed as an amenity so make sure to check before booking.

You are able to have a tow vehicle drop off your unit and depart after set-up without having to use your parking pass. We usually walked down and met the trailer at the entrance to the lot with the 'trailer pass' and the attendants will let the tow vehicle in to drop off your unit.

Lot Size

The official length is 40' but we were able to put a 43' in there without too much issue. It largely depends your neighbors. We had slideouts on both sides and it was a little tight but doable. Again, it largely depends on the size of the rig you're parked next to.

Water / Sewer / Power

No hookups are officially available. There was a row last year that had power hookups but we're not completely sure of how to obtain those spots, I'll update the post once I have that information. I want to say it was $500 for the weekend. We're trying to get one of those spots this year to simply save on going out to get gas for the generator every day as it was a hassle we'd like to avoid. We ran the generator 24 hours a day last year so we were going through quite a bit of fuel.

The company who operates the showers also manage the water delivery and pump-outs. I want to say it was around $130 for fresh water and pump out. We did it twice for the weekend and mostly showered in the facilities next to the restrooms. You go and pay the provider at the shower / restroom facility and they give you colored ribbons to place on your unit and they travel around and service the units with those colored ribbons.

Generators

I've never seen someone get in trouble for having a 'non-silent' generator, but your neighbors will notice and it can get obnoxious especially if you don't have a way to place it properly away from doors, etc. The noise between the campers can get pretty bad with a loud generator and when there's no wind, fumes are prevalent.

Showers / Restrooms

There are port-a-potties around the lot and the restroom trailers are free to use (iirc).

You pay $30 a day, per person (at least last year) for access to the showers and I highly recommend it. They're shower trailers similar to the style here. They get cleaned fairly regularly and (mostly) have plenty of warm water. The occasional hiccup here and there, but mostly awesome. Lines aren't usually too long and you just plan to shower 'off times' when it's not super busy. Make sure to take shower shoes / seperate shoes for the walk there and back as well. The area around the facility can get pretty muddy at times, especially if there is any rain at all. Make sure to bring a towel and shower caddy for your things. Not a lot of 'flat space' in the showers.

Misc Notes

The lot is DUSTY!!! Try and keep your doors closed and be prepared to clean out your trailer/camper/tent a lot.

I found this crowd to be less rowdy than say NASCAR or the infield at the 24 Hours of Daytona but others have reported that it's pretty loud pretty late. The only real issues we had with noise are the sound of generators.

The walk to the concerts is pretty long, just keep it in mind. The placement of your vehicle is highly dependant on what you want to have the 'shorter' walk to. Track entrance? Shower trailers? Concerts?

Ice is available for approx. $7 a bag.

Lot N Alternatives

Austin Motor Village. I have no information on this other than they are on the opposite side of the track from Lot N and the pricing, as it looks to me to be $2,700 for the weekend. We have no information other than what is on their website.
