Tips and unforeseen things for camping at a track

[domarena33]

Hi everyone. I'm hitting Homestead-Miami in January for the entire weekend and I've never stayed overnight at a track. What are somethings you wish you knew to bring or do your first time overnighting at a track?

A 2,000 square foot toy hauler.

Whatcha got? Doing tent? If I remember, it's pretty primitive camp grounds right? No power?

God that would be nice... but unfortunately, i've got an 8 person tent. Grill, cooler, hot plate.... I'm not sure if there's power but i'll bring my DC/AC inverter. I can run a few low amperage things.

I've never been to Homestead, but make sure you bring lots of lights. Some of the paddocks get pretty dark after hours.

Homestead has power for rv's and bathrooms. They might have water too I can't remember, the entire infield is paved and I don't know if they allow tent camping, the do allow RVs and trailers. Plan on no food vendor so you're prepared and self sufficient, bring your own toiletries and some extra clothes. It does get chilly at night so you'll want to account for that with your sleeping arrangements. You'll probably want to bring a motorcycle too.

Homestead does not have showers on site.

You can rent campers from people in the area. They even come set it up for you, which is nice.

Look at weather before leaving, if there a chance of adverse weather, bring your rain boots, rain coat, umbrella, etc.
Don't forget sunscreen, tons of water and food, healthy light snacks, bug spray, sun glasses, ear plugs, power cords, etc.
