Gates open Friday 5 PM to 10 PM for camping with no events, then Saturday and Sunday from 8 AM. House rules for the weekend: park in rows in the right direction, horseshoes are fine, and do not block driveways. There are NO quiet hours for generators, and you never unplug anyone else's. Pets stay on a leash or tie out even inside your own pit area. Water fill is on site, no direct power wash hookup, and barrels are capped at 55 gallons. One to note before you pack: NO striders or balance bikes of any make or model are allowed anywhere on the property. Leave them at home or in the trailer. Gate admission is $8 per person per day, CASH ONLY. Entry is $35 per class in cash or $37 by card, and Reads members pay $30 cash or $32 card. The Reads membership is a discount card rather than a club, and it is not required: $45 a year cash or $47 by card, saving $5 on every entry including organized practices. A RaceReady RFID transponder is required for competition events. They are $10 cash at registration and last a year, and a valid transponder from another venue works.
