Statesville NC, Balloon Fest

Were headed to the Balloon Fest in Statesville NC the weekend of Oct 16-18th. We will be dry camping on the airport Fri & Sat night.

Have wanted to attend for a few years, however this is the first year we could get away. Anyone else headed to this event and dry camping on the airport?

    We attended the event about 6 years ago and had a great time. We were not sure if dry camping was allowed at that time and we only saw one RV in the area. Hopefully, things are different. It would be great to have the roving home that close to the action. Loved the early morning and evening shows! Enjoy!!


    According to the website, RV camping is sold out already.
