Scott, according to the post, no hookups in the fairground for this year's Oval Nationals, but still a $25.00 camping fee per night? Previous years there were electric and water hookups for RVs included in that charge. Hit and miss, granted, as to what worked and what didn't, but are they all disabled for this year? Thanks.

[Scott Daloisio]

I guess so. When I asked the boss he said be sure people know there are no hook ups. He did not elaborate on why.
