For Annual Pass Holders, there will be a $25 admission price for Party in the Park weekend admission. Please be aware of this before traveling to the park this weekend.
Due to the high volume of people checking in, no sales of new Annual Passes / Memberships will be available during Party in the Park weekend.
If you’re camping up in the full-hookups campground or park trailers, make sure to limit your campsite parking to a maximum of two on-highway vehicles. Do not block other campsites or parking spaces belonging to neighboring campsites.
IF YOU’RE PRIMITIVE CAMPING:
Primitive camping is first-come-first-served. We will have plenty of space for ALL campers at Party in the Park, but the best spots will be taken Thursday or Friday morning from the primitive camping zones.
You’ll receive your primitive camping map and will have your choice of camping zones around the park. You find your zone and pick your spot.
NO PRIMITIVE CAMPING IN THE NEW PARKING LOT (Closest to the Welcome Center on Road 12). amping at the new #MudZone is reserved for Southern Bounty Series competitors and race crews.
See the Primitive Camping Map here: https://toptrails.net/about-the-park/primitive-camping-map/
There will be parking attendants patrolling the zones to help you find a good spot and to monitor the space used by each camper, and keep access roads clear through each campground.
Be conscious of how much space you take up with your primitive camping setup. If you only have 2 vehicles camping together don’t take up the space of 10 vehicles when setting up your site.
ATTENDING THE SOUTHERN BOUNTY SERIES RALLY RACE
Welcome to Party in the Park! This year’s event features a special rally racing challenge that will see a host of amazing drivers and machines push their limits on the trails. Drivers will race on a closed course circuit cut right through the trails and roads of the historic World War II facility that creates the road systems within the park to put on a show for the crowd!
However, this special event requires some additional items to be pointed out about our trail system during your stay. See our Rally Race Spectator Safety Guidelines to the right for some rules and regulations for this weekend in order to keep everyone safe.
