Are fires permitted at my campsite?Fires are permitted but they have to be in a fire ring or fire pit.

Can I rip around on a scooter, motorcycle, or go kart?The short answer is NO. Go-Karts with VAN BODIES are OK, but motorized scooters and other non-van motorized vehicles are NOT permitted to be cruising around the fairgrounds. If you have a scooter/motorbike packed, that's OK for use OUTSIDE of the fairgrounds assuming it's street legal. If you're on a bigger adventure and Nats is just a stop on your journey - there's a designated parking area where you can leave your motorcycle/trailer safely. There will be a NUTS (NATIONALS URBAN TRANSIT SYSTEM) BUS. It is a 'public transportation' that travels a loop throughout the fairgrounds. You can hop on/off and get around pretty easily like this. And be entertained the whole time by all the sights & sounds throughout the area. Bicycles/skateboards/non-motorized scooters are a great way to get around inside the fairgrounds. There will be a 5mph speed limit on all vehicles, including vans. There will be lots of people on the grounds and we want no one hurt. Thank you! You may bring a golf cart, or you may rent a golf cart thru us. We will have a limited number available to rent. You can find availability and rental info on the store page.
