The Rv was exactly what we needed and the owner (Jonathan) was an incredible help. Jonathan takes great care of this RV and anyone who rents it will be pleased. But please treat the RV well, because I plan on renting again in the future!!

RV camping near Martinsville Speedway
The Cook Out 400 takes over Martinsville Speedway in the spring, typically landing on the last weekend of March or the season's first days of April, when the Virginia foothills are just beginning to warm up. The NASCAR Cup Series headliner caps a full race weekend that also features the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour and the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series, along with practice and qualifying sessions spread across Friday and Saturday. Martinsville's .526-mile paperclip-shaped oval, paved with asphalt on the straightaways and concrete in the turns, is the shortest and one of the oldest tracks on the circuit, and its tight banking keeps 400 laps of side-by-side, bumper-to-bumper racing within arm's reach of every seat. Spring weather here can swing from cool mornings to mild, sunny afternoons, so layers and a rain jacket are smart additions to your packing list.
Fans camp right on the grounds in areas like Champions Overlook and the Backstretch, or a short drive away at spots such as Vaughn's Campground in Ridgeway, so lodging is part of the fun rather than an afterthought. An RV turns the Cook Out 400 from a single race day into a full weekend basecamp: park close enough to walk to the gates, skip the search for hotel rooms in a small town during a sold-out race week, and settle in with your own bed, kitchen, and bathroom between sessions. Because the schedule stretches across practice, qualifying, and multiple races, having your rig on-site means you can come and go on your own timeline instead of fighting traffic in and out each day. Traveling as a group also spreads the cost of the trip, and camping alongside fellow race fans is part of the Martinsville tradition, with tailgates and campfire conversations often lasting well into the quiet hours. For anyone driving in from out of state, the RV becomes both transportation and home base, letting you turn the drive itself into the start of the race weekend. Few short tracks reward that kind of camping culture the way Martinsville does.

Martinsville Speedway, Ridgeway, VA, US
Martinsville Speedway sits in Ridgeway, Virginia, just off US Route 220 in the far southwestern corner of the state near the North Carolina line, roughly midway between Roanoke and Greensboro. Drivers coming from the north or south can take US 220 directly to the track, while those approaching from Interstate 81 or Interstate 40 will connect onto US 220 for the final stretch into Henry County. The roads leading into Martinsville are well suited to RVs, though race weekend traffic builds quickly, so plan to arrive in daylight and follow the speedway's posted signage for camping and general parking areas. Once you're close, clearly marked entrances direct RVs to on-site camping zones like Champions Overlook and the Backstretch, or to general parking if you're day-tripping from a nearby campground. Give yourself extra time for the final few miles on race morning, since traffic funnels down near the track entrances. After you're parked and set up, most of the action, gates, grandstands, and concourse, is an easy walk from the RV camping areas.

Frequently asked questions about renting an RV for Cook Out 400
When does the Cook Out 400 take place at Martinsville Speedway?
Good news: the Cook Out 400 has a predictable home on the calendar. It runs in the spring, typically the last weekend of March or slipping into the first days of April, as an early points race of the NASCAR Cup Series season. The race weekend spans three days, with the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour on Friday, practice, qualifying, and the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series race on Saturday, and the 400-lap Cup Series feature on Sunday afternoon. Exact dates and start times are published on NASCAR's official site each season. Booking your RV rental as soon as the schedule is confirmed gives you first pick of delivery slots and on-site camping availability before the weekend fills up.
nascar.com/nascar-tracks/martinsville-speedway/Where can I get tickets for the Cook Out 400, and what should I expect to pay?
You're in luck, admission for the Cook Out 400 is sold directly through Martinsville Speedway and its official ticketing partner, so there's no need to guess where to look. Grandstand seats span a range of price tiers depending on location, and children 12 and under typically qualify for steeply discounted seats in most sections. Weekend packages that include the Saturday support-series races are usually available alongside single-day Cup Series admission. Popular turns and the frontstretch sell out first, so securing your spot a few months ahead means better seat selection. RVezy doesn't sell event admission, but pairing your RV rental with an early purchase means your travel and race-day plans lock in together.
martinsvillespeedway.com/What's the best way to get to Martinsville Speedway and where do RVs park?
Getting there is easier than it looks: the speedway sits just off US Route 220 in Ridgeway, Virginia, an easy drive from Roanoke, Greensboro, or the Interstate 81 corridor. RVs are directed to dedicated camping and parking zones right on the speedway grounds, including areas like Champions Overlook and the Backstretch, with clear signage guiding you in from the highway. Arriving before Friday afternoon lets you beat the heaviest race-week traffic and choose a favorite spot before the crowds build. Once parked, the grandstands, concourse, and midway are an easy walk from most RV areas, so you won't need to move your rig again until it's time to head home.
martinsvillespeedway.com/general-admission-camping/What can I expect to see and do during Cook Out 400 weekend?
Expect a full weekend of short-track racing, not just one afternoon. The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour opens the action on Friday, Saturday brings practice, qualifying, and the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series race, and Sunday delivers the main event, 400 laps around Martinsville's tight oval. Because the track is so short and tightly banked, you'll feel every lead change and bump-and-run from almost any seat, a signature Martinsville trademark. Between sessions, the midway offers driver appearances, merchandise haulers, and food vendors to explore. First-timers should know the race winner still takes home a full-size grandfather clock, a Martinsville tradition since 1964 that makes victory here feel extra special.
nascar.com/news-media/2023/04/13/nascar-legends-the-story-behind-martinsvilles-grandfather-clock/What's the weather like for the Cook Out 400 and what should I pack?
Spring in the Virginia foothills is generally mild during Cook Out 400 weekend, but it can swing from chilly mornings to warm, sunny afternoons, so layering is your best friend. Pack a light jacket or hoodie for early sessions, sunscreen and a hat for the Sunday race, and a compact rain shell in case a spring shower rolls through. Comfortable closed-toe shoes make walking the grounds and grandstands much easier, and ear protection is worth bringing given how loud the cars sound trackside. Since you'll be based out of your RV, you can easily grab an extra layer or swap shoes between sessions instead of hauling everything with you all day.
Is the Cook Out 400 a good event to bring kids to?
Absolutely, Martinsville Speedway welcomes fans of all ages, and race weekend is designed with families in mind. Children 12 and under typically receive discounted pricing in most grandstand sections, making it easier to bring the whole crew. The midway area offers driver appearances, souvenir haulers, and enough open space for kids to stretch their legs between sessions, while ear protection is recommended for younger fans given the noise level trackside. Camping in an RV adds a built-in home base for nap breaks, snacks, and downtime, which makes a full weekend of racing far more manageable with children than trying to do it all from a single day trip.
martinsvillespeedway.com/What food and drink options are available at Martinsville Speedway?
You'll eat well at Martinsville: concession stands throughout the grandstands and midway serve classic trackside fare like barbecue, burgers, and fried favorites, fitting given Cook Out's own Southern roots as the race's title sponsor. Beer and other alcoholic beverages are sold on-site for fans 21 and over, with identification required at point of sale. Outside food and drink policies are posted at the gates each season, so check current bag and cooler rules before you pack a full spread. Because you're arriving in an RV, you can easily stock your own kitchen with race-week groceries and enjoy a proper tailgate breakfast before walking over to the track.
martinsvillespeedway.com/policies/Are all types of RVs allowed at Martinsville Speedway for the Cook Out 400?
Yes, Martinsville welcomes a wide range of RVs, from Class A motorhomes to travel trailers and camper vans, across its various camping zones. Paved sites at Champions Overlook run around 18 by 45 feet, while grass sites in areas like the Backstretch are closer to 18 by 40 feet, so most rigs fit comfortably within those footprints. A handful of no-hookup grass lots are also available if you prefer a simpler setup. It's worth confirming your rig's dimensions against the current site map when you book your camping spot, since larger rigs may be steered toward areas with more room to maneuver. Your RVezy host can help confirm what size and class works best for the site you reserve.
martinsvillespeedway.com/general-admission-camping/Can I have an RV delivered directly to Martinsville Speedway for the Cook Out 400?
Delivery can make race weekend far simpler, and RVezy's host network is built for exactly this kind of trip. Search RVezy for Ridgeway, Virginia with delivery enabled to find hosts serving the area around Martinsville Speedway, and if that search comes up light, try Martinsville Speedway, Virginia instead to widen the net. Many hosts near the track are experienced with race-week drop-offs and can set up your rig in your reserved camping spot before you even arrive. If no delivery hosts show up for your exact dates, searching the same locations without the delivery filter will surface RVs you can pick up and drive in yourself. Either way, booking early gives hosts the best chance to accommodate race-week delivery requests.
Can I camp on-site at Martinsville Speedway in my RV?
Yes, on-site RV camping is one of the best parts of a Martinsville race weekend. Options range from paved, powered sites at Champions Overlook to grass sites with hookups in the Backstretch, plus several no-hookup general admission lots around the grounds like the North Lot, South Lot, and Crossing's Corner. Basic electric and water hookups are typically included, though a fee applies if you need sewage pump-out service. Quiet hours generally run from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m., which keeps the campground restful before race day. Reserving your site early is worth it since camping areas closest to the grandstands are the first to fill for a popular date like the Cook Out 400.
martinsvillespeedway.com/general-admission-camping/Is there RV-friendly lodging near Martinsville Speedway if I don't camp on-site?
You have solid options just outside the gates if on-site camping isn't your style. Vaughn's Campground sits in Ridgeway, close enough to reach the speedway on foot in about 12 minutes, and offers a quieter alternative to trackside camping while still keeping you within easy walking distance of the action. Additional campgrounds and RV parks are scattered around the wider Martinsville and Henry County area for those who want more space or a longer stay. Booking a nearby site rather than a hotel keeps your RV's comfort, kitchen, and bathroom with you the whole trip, and it's typically easier to secure during race week than a hotel room in this small Virginia town.
visitmartinsville.com/listing/vaughns-campground/What accessibility services are available for RV renters attending the Cook Out 400?
Martinsville Speedway is well set up for fans who need accessibility accommodations. Accessible viewing areas are located beneath the Old Dominion Tower between Turns 1 and 2, and in the front row of the Bill France Grandstands in Turns 3 and 4, with companion seating typically available nearby. Accessible parking is offered behind Turn 2 on a first-come, first-served basis for vehicles displaying a valid disability permit. The speedway also runs handicap-assistance golf carts in partnership with Raceway Ministries, connecting ADA parking and nearby campgrounds to the main gates, though waits can build in the hours before the race. Contacting guest services ahead of your visit helps you plan RV parking and seating together for a smoother race day.
martinsvillespeedway.com/ada-information/Any tips for first-timers bringing an RV to the Cook Out 400?
First trip to Martinsville is a great one to arrive early for. Rolling in Thursday or early Friday gives you first pick of camping spots and lets you settle your RV in before the Friday Modified Tour action kicks off the weekend. Bring ear protection, comfortable shoes, and layers for shifting spring temperatures, and pack a cooler for tailgating between sessions. Because Martinsville's short track puts every seat close to the racing, you don't need to overspend on premium seats to get a great view. Save time to walk the midway and catch a glimpse of the grandfather clock trophy tradition, a Martinsville original since 1964 that makes this stop unlike any other on the schedule.
nascar.com/news-media/2023/04/13/nascar-legends-the-story-behind-martinsvilles-grandfather-clock/What safety rules and prohibited items should I know about before bringing my RV?
Martinsville keeps race weekend safe and comfortable with a straightforward set of rules posted at the gates and campground entrances. Quiet hours in the camping areas run from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m., and pets must stay leashed or harnessed with owners cleaning up after them. Certain items like fireworks and weapons are prohibited, and bag and cooler policies are posted ahead of the event each season, so check current guidelines before you pack. Re-entry to camping areas from the grandstands is generally allowed, making it easy to head back to your RV between sessions. Following the posted rules keeps the whole campground relaxed and race-ready for everyone around you.
martinsvillespeedway.com/policies/How does RVezy support me if something goes wrong during my Cook Out 400 trip?
Renting for a race weekend like the Cook Out 400 feels a lot less stressful knowing RVezy has your back. Every booking includes access to customer support and protection plan options designed to cover the unexpected, from mechanical hiccups to trip changes, so a single bump in the road doesn't derail your Martinsville plans.
