Love it will rent again
Gaylon G. - Sep 2025
This was our family's first camping experience and thanks to Steve it was awesome. His camper was well equipped. The outside LEDs and Bluetooth connect radio were easy to use. Steve took the time to give me a whole run down of the operation. The RV towed very well. I can't say it enough- it was an easy experience and we had a blast. We will be renting from Steve again. Thank you so much!!!

RV camping near Darlington Raceway
Every spring, Darlington Raceway in South Carolina roars back to life for the Goodyear 400, the NASCAR Cup Series stop that anchors the track's Throwback Weekend. Held on the tight, egg-shaped 1.366-mile oval nicknamed the Track Too Tough to Tame, the race weekend spans two days, with Xfinity Series practice, qualifying, and racing on Saturday building into the 293-lap Cup Series main event on Sunday afternoon. Fans fill the stands and infield in vintage-inspired paint schemes and retro gear, turning the historic track into a rolling tribute to NASCAR's golden decades. Spring weather in the Pee Dee region tends to be mild and warm, though race-day temperatures and the chance of a passing shower can vary, so packing layers is a smart move. Beyond the racetrack, Darlington's small-town charm and easy access from nearby Florence make it a relaxed home base, with hotels filling fast on Goodyear 400 weekend and campgrounds becoming the go-to option for die-hard fans. Bringing your own RV rental turns the whole weekend into part of the show: you can post up in one of the raceway's dedicated RV camping areas or a nearby park and skip the scramble for hotel rooms entirely. An RV gives you the flexibility to arrive early for Saturday's Xfinity race and stay right through Sunday's checkered flag without ever packing up mid-weekend. You get your own bed, bathroom, and kitchen steps from the action, which beats hauling coolers and lawn chairs in from a distant lot. Traveling with family or a group, an RV also spreads the cost of the trip across shared lodging and transportation instead of booking multiple hotel rooms. And with tailgating and camaraderie built into the Darlington experience, rolling in with an RV puts you right in the infield community that makes Throwback Weekend feel like a reunion as much as a race.

Darlington Raceway, Darlington, SC, US
Darlington Raceway sits at 1301 Harry Byrd Highway in Darlington, South Carolina, about 15 minutes from Florence, where I-95 and I-20 meet, making it an easy stop whether you're driving in from the north, south, or west. Coming from Charlotte or the Upstate, take I-20 East toward Florence and follow signage for US-52 or SC-151 into Darlington; from Charleston or the coast, run I-26 West to I-95 North, then pick up SC-327 and US-52 North into town. Drivers coming from Columbia can stay on I-20 East to the US-401 exit and follow the well-marked signs straight to the track. Once you're close, race-week signage directs RVs to dedicated camping gates, so plan to arrive during the posted check-in windows rather than showing up at the last minute. Give yourself extra time on Saturday and Sunday mornings, since local roads around the track get busy as fans converge, and follow the traffic staff directing RV and camper traffic to the correct entrance. Once you're parked, you can leave the rig behind and walk to the grandstands or infield, no shuttle required.

Frequently asked questions about renting an RV for Goodyear 400
When does the Goodyear 400 take place at Darlington Raceway, and how long is the race weekend?
Good news: the Goodyear 400 follows a predictable rhythm even though the exact date shifts within the NASCAR Cup Series calendar. It typically lands in the early stretch of the season, with the full race weekend running Saturday through Sunday. Saturday brings NASCAR Xfinity Series practice, qualifying, and racing, building anticipation before the main event: the 293 lap, 400 mile Goodyear 400 on Sunday afternoon. Because it kicks off Darlington's Throwback Weekend, plan on being trackside for both days, not just Sunday, since the Saturday support races and retro paint scheme reveals are half the fun. Check the official Darlington Raceway schedule as the season approaches so you can lock in your RV camping reservation before spots fill up.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodyear_400Where can I get tickets for the Goodyear 400, and what should I expect to pay?
You're in luck: tickets for the Goodyear 400 go on sale well ahead of race weekend directly through Darlington Raceway's official site, with grandstand seating, infield passes, and camping packages sold separately. Prices vary by seat location and how early you buy, and early bird pricing is typically the best value, so grabbing your seats a few months out pays off before the popular Throwback Weekend sections sell out. If you're bringing an RV, note that camping passes, which often bundle in infield admission, are booked through the same official channel and tend to move fast given the event's popularity. Sign up for raceway email alerts so you don't miss the on sale date, and pair your RV camping reservation with your tickets early to lock in the best combination trackside.
darlingtonraceway.com/What's the best way to drive an RV to Darlington Raceway, and where do I park it?
Getting to Darlington Raceway is straightforward: the track sits at 1301 Harry Byrd Highway, just minutes from where I-95 and I-20 meet near Florence, so you can approach easily from Charlotte, Columbia, or Charleston. Race week signage guides RV traffic to dedicated camping gates rather than general parking, so plan your route around the posted gate numbers instead of the everyday visitor entrance. Camping areas like Pearson Boulevard, Petty Boulevard, and East End RV typically open the Tuesday before race weekend, so arriving early in the week means an easier entry and your pick of sites. Give yourself extra buffer time on Saturday and Sunday mornings, since local roads fill up fast as fans converge on the track.
darlingtonraceway.com/camping/What can I expect from the atmosphere and activities at the Goodyear 400?
Expect an electric, nostalgia soaked atmosphere: the Goodyear 400 anchors Darlington's Throwback Weekend, when Cup Series and Xfinity Series teams run retro paint schemes honoring NASCAR legends and decades past. Saturday's slate includes support series practice, qualifying, and racing, so the grounds are lively well before Sunday's 293 lap Cup Series feature on the demanding 1.366 mile oval known as the Track Too Tough to Tame. Between races, the infield and campgrounds turn into a tailgating community, with fans grilling, comparing throwback gear, and swapping stories from past Darlington trips. First timers should plan to explore the fan zones and driver appearances scheduled around the track, since the buildup is as much a part of the weekend as the race itself.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodyear_400What's the weather like at the Goodyear 400, and what should I pack?
The good news is spring weather in South Carolina's Pee Dee region is usually mild, with warm afternoons that make trackside camping comfortable, though evenings can cool off and a stray shower is always possible this time of year. Pack layers, sunscreen, and a hat for sun exposure in the grandstands or infield, plus a light rain jacket just in case. Since you'll likely be walking between your RV and the track for two days, comfortable closed toe shoes are worth prioritizing over sandals. Bring earplugs if you're sensitive to engine noise trackside, and stock your RV with extra water and shade like a canopy or awning, since infield spots can get warm with limited natural shade.
Is the Goodyear 400 a good event to bring the family to in an RV?
Absolutely: the Goodyear 400 welcomes fans of all ages, and there's no minimum age to attend, though very young children may need ear protection given the noise level trackside. Many families base their trip out of the RV camping areas specifically because it gives kids a home base to nap, eat, and cool off between the excitement of Saturday's support races and Sunday's main event. Darlington Raceway's fan zones typically include driver appearances and activities that keep younger fans engaged between on track sessions. Traveling with an RV means you can build in downtime for the family without leaving the grounds, which makes a full race weekend far more manageable with kids in tow than a single day hotel trip would be.
darlingtonraceway.com/fanguide/Can I bring my own food and drinks, or cook in my RV at the Goodyear 400?
You're covered either way: Darlington Raceway allows fans to bring in coolers and outside food within the posted size and item guidelines, and having your own RV kitchen makes it even easier to cook full meals instead of relying on concession lines all weekend. Alcohol is permitted for guests of legal drinking age within the raceway's cooler policy, alongside concession stands selling food and drinks throughout the grounds on race day. Grilling and tailgating are practically tradition in the campgrounds, so using your RV's outdoor kitchen setup fits right in with the infield culture. Just double check the current cooler size and prohibited items list before you pack, so nothing gets turned away at the gate.
darlingtonraceway.com/fanguide/Are all types of RVs allowed at Darlington Raceway for the Goodyear 400?
Yes, Darlington Raceway's camping areas accommodate a wide range of RV types, from Class A motorhomes to travel trailers and fifth wheels, with dedicated zones like Infield RV, East End RV, and the Pearson and Petty Boulevard lots offering different site sizes and hookup levels. Because sites are laid out for specific dimensions, East End RV, for example, offers paved 20 by 50 foot sites, it's worth confirming your RV's length against the camping area's specs when you book. Some infield and general camping zones suit smaller rigs better, so choosing the right lot up front means an easier fit and setup. Reserve your specific camping area directly through Darlington Raceway's official camping page so you land in a zone matched to your rig's size and hookup needs.
darlingtonraceway.com/camping/Can I have an RV delivered directly to Darlington for the Goodyear 400 instead of driving one myself?
Yes: RVezy hosts in Darlington, South Carolina offer RVs with delivery, so you can skip driving or towing a rig altogether and have it set up and ready when you arrive for race weekend. Searching RVezy for Darlington, SC with delivery enabled turns up travel trailers, Class C motorhomes, and larger Class A options, many of which come pet friendly and fully insured. Since race weekends at Darlington Raceway draw heavy demand, booking your delivery enabled rental two to three months ahead helps you lock in better rates and your preferred RV type. Once it's dropped off at your chosen campground or nearby site, you're free to enjoy the Goodyear 400 without ever getting behind the wheel of the RV itself.
rvezy.com/rv-rentals/destination/united-states/south-carolina/darlingtonCan I camp overnight in my RV right at Darlington Raceway for the Goodyear 400?
Yes, on site RV camping is one of the best parts of a Darlington race weekend: areas like Infield RV, East End RV, and the Pearson and Petty Boulevard lots offer electric hookups, water access, and dump stations right on the property. Camping typically opens as early as the Tuesday before race weekend, so arriving mid week gets you a smoother check in and more choice of site before the crowds build. Sites range widely in price depending on location and amenities, with many packages bundling in infield admission tickets alongside your camping spot. If on site camping fills up or doesn't fit your rig, nearby options like Lee State Park and campgrounds around Florence give you an easy backup just a short drive from the track.
darlingtonraceway.com/camping/What are my lodging options near Darlington Raceway if I'm not staying in my RV the whole time?
You have solid options beyond the track: hotels in Florence, about 15 minutes from Darlington Raceway, fill up fast on Goodyear 400 weekend, so booking well ahead matters if you want a room as backup or for extra guests. Many fans still choose RV camping as their primary base, since it keeps you steps from the action instead of commuting in from town each day. Campgrounds like Lee State Park and Florence area RV parks offer full hookups and amenities like pools if the on site raceway camping areas are sold out. Whichever option you pick, book early: both raceway camping and area hotels see a surge in demand as soon as the schedule is announced.
peedeetourism.com/darlington-county/Does Darlington Raceway offer accessibility services for the Goodyear 400 if I have mobility needs?
Yes, Darlington Raceway provides accessibility accommodations, including designated accessible seating areas and services for guests with mobility needs, so you can enjoy the Goodyear 400 comfortably. If you're camping in your RV, it's worth contacting the raceway's guest services ahead of time to confirm accessible camping zones and paths between your site and the grandstands, since terrain in the infield and general camping areas can vary. Guest services can also help you plan the smoothest route from accessible parking or camping to your seats before the crowds arrive on race day. Reaching out in advance means your accessibility needs are accounted for before you ever set up your RV.
darlingtonraceway.com/fanguide/Any tips for first timers bringing an RV to the Goodyear 400?
Your first trip to Darlington is a great one to make: arrive as early in race week as camping gates allow, since claiming a good RV spot in areas like Infield RV or East End RV sets the tone for the whole weekend. Bring layers for warm spring afternoons and cooler evenings, plus a canopy or awning since shade can be limited in open camping lots. Get to know your neighbors early: the infield camping community at Darlington is famously social, and other RVers are often your best source of real time tips on gates, restrooms, and the best viewing spots. Don't skip Saturday's Xfinity Series action either; the throwback paint schemes and buildup are half the reason this weekend has such a loyal following.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodyear_400What safety rules and prohibited items should I know about before heading to the Goodyear 400 in my RV?
You'll have a smooth entry if you check the current prohibited items list before you pack: Darlington Raceway restricts certain cooler sizes, outside containers, and items like weapons and drones, consistent with most major NASCAR venues. Re-entry policies typically allow you to come and go between your RV and the grandstands with proper credentials, so you're not stuck choosing between camping comfort and trackside seats. Camping areas have posted quiet hours and generator guidelines, since generators are permitted but expected to run respectfully alongside your camping neighbors. Reviewing the official fan guide before you leave home means zero surprises at the gate and a stress free start to race weekend.
darlingtonraceway.com/fanguide/How does RVezy support me if something goes wrong with my RV rental for the Goodyear 400?
