Camping begins Wednesday and continues through Sunday. Whether you bring your Airplane, RV, or a tent, you can camp in our camping areas. Purchase your ticket for camping on our website. One pass is good for all weekend. If you are going to camp in a tent next to your airplane, you will need the aircraft camping pass. RV, Tent and Car camping are separate. At the moment, there are no shower facilities available, but there will be porta-johns available. All camping passes will be on sale soon!

We recommend booking your hotel immediately for any hotel in the Gainesville area. Due to a Medal of Honor parade, ceremony and week of celebrations, many hotels are filling up completely!
