I've stayed at Dover 3 years in a row. But that was back around 2005. Things might have changed...but here's what I did: I called the main phone number of the track. Got information about their "dry" camping facilities....just across the street from the main entrance. They were called "Parking # 1, Parking #2...and I think "Parking # 3. I was told I could most likely arrive before 5AM on the Saturday before the race and I would get a spot with little to no trouble. The brochure I got quoted a real low price for camping (20?). I got to the track just about dawn...and pulled into Lot # 1. All they had was parking on some asphalt driveway. Didn't want that. Went to Lot #2. They had openings. BUT $60! When I showed the guy the brochure, he said "Do I want to walk a mile or just across the street"? Logic, m'man...logic. Paid the 60 bucks and was taken to what all their sites seemed to be...flat and on grass. Dry camping now...no water or electricity. Honey wagon comes around...ice and water trucks come around...and the track....right there. A bonus....you got the phone number of the operator...and if you called about 30 days before the race, your site was yours. Did that 2 more times. Worked out great. But...like I said, things MIGHT have changed. g'luck!
