I didn't see much on their web site. 815-692-3222 is the phone number but this number might be for race day only.

I've never camped there, but I know there is a fair amount of room for camping. The track is on a fairgrounds. For their big late model weekend, the camping gets full. They even have people tent camping in the outfield of the school ball diamond across the street from the track. It is quite a sight. I think they can handle at least 100 on the fairgrounds but not exactly sure.

atd, camping is good at Fairbury. Generally camping is free with the exception of 4 events throughout the year. Those events consist of 3 tin top dates on June 24th, July 28th & 29th & September 2nd. The 4th reserve camping date features open wheel cars on the weekend of October 6th & 7th.

Other than those 4 weekends camping is free. On free camping weekends they allow campers to enter the fairgrounds on Friday afternoon and stay though Sunday morning.

We live only 45 minutes from Fairbury and have camped there several times over the years but never during the reserve weekends. The atmosphere and amenities are second to none. They built a new restroom/shower house behind the front stretch grandstands just a year or so ago and showers are free on free camping weekends.

I think you'll really like the place! The only downside is that Fairbury is in the hard core heart of late model/modified country but we seemed to coexist relatively well last year at the POWRi event. LOL!

Here are the Fairbury camping rules:



Quiet Time 12 Midnight-7am

• Reserved Camping Spots are for RV type vehicles only.
• Tent camping is free in designated area.
• Must display camping permit in window.
• Please keep camping area clean, and clean up your area before you leave. Future camping privileges can be revoked.
• Please be respectful and considerate of ALL neighbors.
• No loud generators allowed.
• No exceptionally loud music, DJ’s or live band allowed unless approved in advance.
• No fireworks (you will be asked to leave).
• No ground fires.
• Pets are allowed in camping area and should be leashed at all times (please clean up after them and keep them under your supervision).
