If you have a generator you can top off your batteries for overnight and watch over air TV in the early evening. As stated above, pump out and water fill services are available at about $25 per dump or fill. Most people with a Class A motorhome can last three nights easily. There are Sani-pottys available in the campground as well as trash bins.

Loved the Fiesta all three times there. Would never stay anywhere else during the event. I know you will have a great time as long as the weather allows lots of balloons to launch. Wind can really effect or cause cancellations so be forewarned. GREAT EVENT!!!! Enjoy.
