SpyderFest 2016 Camping

[vstrommer]

Just wondering if anyone knows which campgrounds are convenient for SpyderFest activities? Anyone with past experiences with any and suggest a certain camping area......:firstplace:

There has been a mention of the KOA on Rt66 and a reference to the fairgrounds.
I'm up for either place. :thumbup:Primitive is OK but I prefer to have Electric for my CPAP.

There were a few tents there. I had my "tent on a trailer" there. However, there is no differential pricing. You pay the same price whether in a tent or 40' RV, except there might have been a no electric pricing option. My memory doesn't go back that far! :dontknow: It's definitely not a 5 star campground, but it was OK. Shower facilities are mediocre, as is the maintenance staff. But if I go to SF 2016 I'll probably stay there again.

My wife and I stayed at the fairgrounds last year and the cost was a reasonable $24/night, including electric and water. Sewer hook up was available for a small additional charge. The men's showers were mostly cold as they were having a problem with the water heater, but the ladies was fine. If you've stayed at city or fairgrounds before, this place is fairly typical. The good part was that it was close to the action either at the fairgrounds or the hotels, which were only a few minutes away.
