In 2001, 78 acres of farmland was converted into an RV campground. This change was made after the sound of NASCAR engines began to replace the hum of tractors in Talladega. 

The pastime of racing at Talladega is almost matched by the tradition of camping the week of the race. The main demand for being a prime option for race week camping is simply being as close to the track as possible. Fortunately for race fans, there is an RV park literally next door to the track.

For more information on the RV park or to make a reservation, call (770) 926-0939, visit the website at talladegarvpark.com or find the park on Facebook.

Talladega RV Park is a family-owned and operated business that is located right next to Talladega Super Speedway. From the campground, guests are half a mile away from the raceway’s west entrance and have a clear view of the grandstand.

When the park opened in 2001, the former farmland turned into a small RV park, with just 30 sites. Since then, the park has continued to grow, and now holds 298 sites, spread spaciously across acres of land.

“We have some of the most spacious sites available,” John Harper said. “We don’t cram everyone next to each other.”

Each site is 40’ x 60’. This gives campers the ability to park their cars on site and have an outside area where they can grill and hang out.

In addition to having an incredible view of the track’s grandstand, the park itself has plenty of amenities to offer. It is a fully equipped RV park with each spot offering full hookups for guests. Bicycles, golf carts, scooters, and 4-wheelers are all allowed on the property. The park is also pet friendly.

The park itself is an open field of grass with trees offering some shade for campers.

The friendly atmosphere the family business provides has earned Talladega RV lifelong customers. The campground is now owned by John Harper and his cousin, Al Craig. They took over the business from their mothers, who originally opened the campground.

“I see a lot of familiar faces,” Harper said. “It’s nice to be able to walk around and visit with the regulars.”

For those interested in camping but do not own an RV, rentals are now available through the park. For more information on the RV park or to make a reservation, call (770) 926-0939, visit the website at talladegarvpark.com or find the park on Facebook.
