MORE INFO
Here is some more information provided by Shane Fedeli, who attended the 2009 show.
Parking: Parking is on grass, but it is pretty well-drained and I'd bet that we'd be safe as long as it’s not a wet summer.
Fresh Water & Dump: Available just like Quartzsite. Job-Johnnies are scattered throughout the camp.
Showers: There are very clean showers.
Suggested Stay: Arrive on Friday before the show and stay until Sunday or Monday after it closes.
Shuttles: Free shuttles take you from the campground to the show, but you can also ride bikes from the camp to the gates of the airport. From there- trams take you around or you can walk. There is so much to do."
