Lime Rock Park Camping
Overview
Lime Rock Park Camping is the campground inside Lime Rock Park in Lakeville, in the northwest corner of Connecticut, run by the circuit itself. Lime Rock has been racing since 1957 on the site of an old sand and gravel quarry, and the campground sits in the infield, so the tent or RV is inside the circuit rather than outside it.
The campground has four sections, one of them a Family Area. The general area holds 297 plots of 20 by 20 feet, 46 trackside spots run along the No Name Straight fence before the Uphill, and The Pines is a ten spot, tent only patch behind Spectator Hill. RVs have their own reserved ground overlooking the Back Straight, West Bend and the Downhill, with an overflow area at the Skid Pad.
Camping is sold for the major weekends: the Trans Am Memorial Day Classic in May, the NASCAR weekend in July, the Historic Festival over Labor Day and the IMSA Northeast Grand Prix in September, plus visiting festivals like MiataCon.
What to Expect
- The 46 trackside spots sit on the No Name Straight fence line just before the Uphill, with the cars going past on the other side of the fence.
- The trackside RV area looks straight across the Back Straight, West Bend and the Downhill from the RV door.
- The general area is a grid of 297 square plots of 20 by 20 feet, each holding one vehicle with the tent, awning and chairs inside the plot, close to the restrooms and the trackside fence.
- The Pines is ten tent spots in the shade of the trees behind Spectator Hill, with no cars parked at the tents.
- The infield puts the paddock, vendors and spectator areas within walking distance of the general camping area.
- Bathrooms and showers are on site.
- On the Memorial Day and Historic Festival weekends, Sunday is a car show day with no racing listed: the Royals' Garage Car Show in May, and the Lime Rock Concours, Gathering of the Marques and a swap meet over Labor Day.
Things to Note
- Camping is sold for event weekends only, not as a standalone stay. Events with camping listed: MiataCon (23 to 24 October 2026, general RV and tent camping), the Trans Am Memorial Day Classic (27 to 30 May 2027), the NASCAR weekend with the LIUNA 150 (9 to 10 July 2027), Historic Festival 45 (2 to 6 September 2027) and the FCP Euro Northeast Grand Prix (23 to 25 September 2027). Tickets for the Northeast Grand Prix go on sale in November 2026.
- How to book: a General Admission ticket is bought first, then the camping pass is added through the tickets link on limerock.com. Everyone camping needs a Weekend ticket; single day tickets do not cover camping. Plots are assigned and reserved for the whole weekend, and The Pines spots are reserved but not assigned.
- Prices are set per event and are not published on the circuit's own pages. For GRIDLIFE Circuit Legends in August 2026 the organiser sold general car camping at US$140 (first come, first served), trackside car camping at US$243 and trackside RV camping at US$300, each per site for one vehicle and up to four campers.
- Kids aged 12 years and under get in free with a paid adult. Veterans and active military get free General Admission to the major racing events with proof of service.
- All sales are final and tickets are non refundable. Anyone removed for breaking the rules, including offensive banners, shirts or signs, leaves without a refund.
- RVs: the RV only areas are by reservation and no tents are pitched in them. The trackside RV area sells first; the Skid Pad area goes on sale only once it is full. RV camping opens at 12 noon on the Thursday of the event weekend, and the camping area closes at 12 noon on the morning after the event ends.
- No electric or water hookups. RV pump outs are arranged with Enviro Clean on 800 275 3616 or by signing up with the camping attendant at the campground entrance.
- The Pines is tents only, no camping trailers or RVs: vehicles drive in to unload, then move to general parking.
- One vehicle per plot, with everything kept inside the plot. Extra vehicles go to general parking, which is free. The circuit's regulations page lists a guaranteed infield parking spot on race day Saturday at US$35.
- Quiet time runs from 10pm to 7am and generators must be muffled.
- Fires are allowed only in the campground and must be in a container; no fires on the ground.
- No dogs or pets in the campground, except certified service dogs.
- Glass bottles, fireworks, drones and weapons are banned. Coolers have no size limit.
