This was an ideal spot for anyone attending or working at the Balloon Fiesta. As a volunteer, I was up early almost every morning and my total drive to the volunteer parking lot was 2 miles. I talked with others on the site who just rode their bikes there. My neighbor at the campsite was one of the artists in the artist intent. Both of us were able to come back to the site easily during the midday break. Close enough to be accessible to the fiesta grounds, but far enough away to feel like you’ve gotten away from the craziness. But the biggest most important thing was Cassandra. She was proactive, a great communicator, flexible, offered suggestions, and really cares about her campers. I would camp there again, even if Balloon Fiesta wasn’t going on!

Cassandra and family were very kind and accommodating to our family. We had 6 sites reserved there. We LOVED being close enough to walk to the balloon fiesta. One day we sat at the campsite and watched as we were on the flight path of the balloons. We had a great time!

This was a great place to park to experience the balloon fiesta! Water and a porta potty were on site. Quiet at night and behind gates provided a secure feeling during my stay.

Convenient to Balloon Fiesta!
15 ft travel trailer
Camper parking spot was so convenient to Balloon Fiesta! Easily walkable to fiesta, closer than mega RV lot. Felt secure, clean porta potty and running water. Cassandra and all her friends and family were checking in, watching the lot, and made sure I knew where the good restaurants were.
