Area hotels fill up early, so make reservations well in advance if possible. Please be sure to mention that you’re attending the Chuckwagon Races. Many area innkeepers offer discounts for attendees.

CAMPING ON THE EOFF RANCH

$75 for Wednesday-Sunday.

Additional days are $10 per day.

With Horses

Out of state campers that plan to bring equine, Arkansas Law now requires you to bring health papers for entry.

All campers camp in the same place as they did the previous year. Campers should have a green camp sign on a tree in their area with name, address, and phone number. If you camp in the middle of the field, bring your sign with you every year and put it on a panel or your camper trailer. Someone from your camp must be in the camp no later than Tuesday prior to the races. If not, you risk losing your spot. Permanent campers may come in to clean up their spots, set up their trailers, panels, etc. on August 15 every year. The gates are open for permanent campers from 6 a.m. on August 15 until the FRIDAY before opening day on Saturday. No overnight camping is permitted until the Saturday opening day.

New campers can find a site the day they come in to stay. Do not take a spot that has a green sign or one that has been mowed, has panels set up, or otherwise looks as if someone is coming in to camp. To reserve that site for the next year(s), go to the West Gate on the final Sunday morning before 8 a.m. and request a green sign. That will guarantee your camping spot.
