Accommodations

RV PARKING AT MATHEWS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL:

We encourage you to bring your RV and park right next to the starting line of the Tour!  There is a $15 fee that covers both Friday and Saturday nights. No hookups are provided.  Restrooms and showers are available in Thomas Hunter Middle School (next door).

*Please note that RV’s are allowed in the Parking Lot AFTER 4:00 p.m. on Friday (that being a school day and all…).

Tent City behind Thomas Hunter Middle School

TENT CITY:

As always, we offer a free lodging option of setting up camp behind Thomas Hunter Middle School.  Bring your tent, sleeping bags, and all your needs, but remember fires and alcohol are NOT permitted on the property.  Restrooms and showers are available inside the school.

Best of all, if you stay at Tent City or choose RV parking, you will already be at the Start/Finish area of the Tour!

*Note:  The school will be locked for security purposes from 11:00 pm until 5:00 a.m. Port-a-Johns will be available.

RV Parking and Tent City are both available from Friday at 4:00 PM until Sunday at 10:00 AM.
