I called the fairgrounds office for camping prices. They told me to check with the NTA.

Anybody know what the cost for tent camping is per day? Can there be 2 small tents on one campsite? I'm meeting a buddy coming from North Dakota.

Thanks.

Looks like it's 35$ a night for primitive. Camping is generally just plop down wherever you want in the primitive sections so you'll both will probably have to pay of you come in seperate

Thanks. If that's the "normal" price we'll need to double check. Woman at the fairgrounds office told me it will be up to the sponsoring party to set the price.

35 for primitive? Thats crazy. Primitive means you will probably be 1/4 mile from a bathroom. Thinking about going up to hear more about this auction. Im not paying 35 bucks to put up a tent though. Anybody know what the gate fee will be?

Camping is always tricky with conventions depending on what fairgrounds you deal with. Usually ends up as a pass through if grounds wants the camping.

So two guys paying $35 per night each could just go get an air conditioned hotel room for a few bucks more and have a hot shower and (maybe) free breakfast. Sounds like primitive camping isn't a very good deal.

Good luck with that, expedia shows every hotel that's not 400 a night is sold out for the convention

True but you're paying at least 80 looking at another site. More fun on the grounds especially if you get into someone's whiskey and don't want to have to drive ..just gotta find your tent again.

Ive been burned too many times with hotels, badly at the Hamburg NTA. swore off hotels except for family vacations

I like being right there and I like sleepin in a tent when the weather is right for it.


Yall don't forget there are other options like AirBnB and VRBO now too. The men and women i travel to natural disaster sites use those 2 a lot. 2 or 3 parties who want to hang out after hours can often beat the hotel prices and end up sharing an entire house.

You got a choice-bedbugs or chiggers and ticks.

I saw on the ITT (Iowa Trappers Talk) site where a NTA Director posted the following for camping rates:

$35/night with electric
$20 primitive

Are you referring to camping or some of the motels?

As stated toward the top. People at the fairgrounds office told me that the hosting group (in this case the NTA) gets to set the price for on grounds camping. $20 is a lot better than $35.

I'm to fat for rent camping in July. I'll be happy to pay the extra money for my a/c and shower
