Your first post said row AA and your last post said ff. There is a F row so what row are you in? I rode my bike around the campground last year to get a idea where to move to this year. All the spots I asked about were already taken but I found an end row spot that I think is not real bad. If you don't want power and no pets Brookfest is a level campground and very close to the track. The north part of Brookfest is one big party and the south end is much quieter till the cars are running.

Sorry ff was a typo : reading from my printed receipt...

Location Graves Farm A
Row AA
Spot -18
Qty:1
Unit Price $185


Thanks for bringing that to my attention!

Last year was our first year at Graves. We had spent the last 10 years at Brookfest campground but wanted power and be able to take our dog. This is a very hilly campground and the spot I had last year I had the front tires off the ground about 6". Sounds like that's what your going to have in your spot. I'm trying a new spot this year at Graves and hope I didn't make a mistake. Have fun at the race track.

Snowflitter are you familiar with row ff spot 18. I couldn't google earth it, I will not go to a spot where my front wheels are 6 inches off the ground.WINSFAN20 is sending me pictures which I hope solves my anxiety. I bought the insurance so I just may be a no show !! Thanks for posting.

Here are photos of site. Slope is about 1 foot back to front.

Hope this helps. There is no electric on site. Water is just to rear of site. There are trams from CG to track.

I think you will find the area where you are at sloops downhill some. Go to Google Earth and you can look at campground. Your spot is the most northern row on the west side of the campground.

Snowflitter, In your personal opinion is it to much on a slope to level a Class A Diesel pusher? I want to use the jacks ,but no blocking with wood. Thanks Dave

IMO -when camping in a Michigan grass field, wood 2x10s always go down before the leveling jacks.

Don't know about the particular campsite, but my neighbor and another friend camped at Michigan Speedway several years ago and said it can be a real mud hole if it rains heavy. Took two very large farm tractors hooked together to get them out. They were not happy!

WOW that would be fantastic and much appreciated. Went to Talladega and got stuck, what a hassle. It would really be nice to see the lay of the land before i get up there next month.. Thanks Dave !!
