Daytona 500 2027 RV Rental and Camping Guide

Which rental brands suit the Daytona 500?

One brand returned vans in our live search from Orlando for 16 to 23 February 2027: Cruise America. Miami returned Cruise America only too. We found no Daytona-specific rule from the brand, so tell Cruise America you plan to camp at a race and confirm anything you rely on in writing.

• Cruise America (motorhomes): Class C motorhomes with a toilet, shower and fridge, shown as the Compact 21 ft (sleeps 4), Standard 25 ft (sleeps 5) and Large 30 ft (sleeps 7). The speedway only allows self-contained RVs in its RV camping areas, and all three fit inside the standard 20 by 40 ft infield site.
• Depot hours: Cruise America says pick-ups are normally 1pm to 4pm and returns 9am to 11am, and its centres are closed on Sundays and holidays. Race day is a Sunday, so plan a weekday pick-up and return.
• Running costs: Cruise America charges mileage (39 cents a mile, or 19 cents under its Half Price Mileage Deal for departures through 31 October 2027, not one-ways) and US$3.50 an hour for the generator.
• Campervans: no campervan brand returned vans in Orlando or Miami for these dates. Note that the Orange tent campground at the speedway does not allow motorhomes.

What does Daytona 500 RV hire cost?

Rates in US$ from our live search on 19 October 2026 for an Orlando hire picking up Tuesday 16 February and returning Tuesday 23 February 2027 (7 nights), which covers qualifying, the Duel and race day.

• Cruise America Standard 25 ft (sleeps 5): US$51.72 a night, US$426.50 total.
• Cruise America Large 30 ft (sleeps 7): US$51.72 a night, US$426.50 total.
• Cruise America Compact 21 ft (sleeps 4): US$58.20 a night, US$471.88 total.
• Miami, 15 to 23 February 2027 (8 nights): Compact US$77.12 a night (US$681.12 total), Standard US$135.06 (US$1,144.62 total) and Large US$162.45 (US$1,363.75 total), so Orlando is far cheaper as well as closer.

These rates leave out several costs:

• Mileage: Orlando to the speedway and back is about 110 to 145 miles (180 to 235 km) before any side trips. Cruise America charges per mile and collects an estimate up front.
• Camping: speedway camping for 2026 Speedweeks ranged from US$799.71 (West) to US$3,601.92 (The Shores at Lake Lloyd) for the week, and race week RV parks nearby charge about US$150 to US$274 a night with five-night minimums. See the camping section.
• Race tickets: every Daytona 500 guest needs a reserved seat. The 2027 brochure lists Duel, Truck and ARCA tickets from US$57 for adults, with kids 12 and under free in general admission on those days.
• Generator time, bedding and kitchen kits, insurance excess cover and one-way fees, so compare live totals for your own dates.

Can you camp in an RV at the Daytona 500?

Yes, Daytona International Speedway has its own RV camping in the infield and next to the track, but its Speedweeks camping page says all camping inventory for Speedweeks has been reserved. Every campground page shows the 2027 Daytona 500 as sold out with a waitlist, and the speedway says openings can come up as plans change.

Speedway campgrounds and 2026 prices

Prices below are the 2026 Speedweeks single weekend prices from the official comparison chart (subject to change). 2027 prices are not published.

• The Shores at Lake Lloyd: waterfront infield sites with controlled access, water and 50 amp power, 20 by 55 ft (40 ft paved). US$3,601.92.
• Red Premium and Yellow Premium: infield sites with water and 50 amp power (Yellow Premium water on spots 701 to 722 only), 20 by 40 ft. US$3,393.95.

Most infield packages included two infield camping admissions. In 2026 check-in opened 10am Friday 6 February for extended stays (12pm Monday 9 February for general) and check-out was 12pm on the Monday after the race. Rules include self-contained RVs only in RV areas, no sleeping tents in RV areas, quiet time midnight to 6am, and if you leave with your RV you cannot re-enter. A pump-out truck visits each area from 9am to 6pm for US$50 cash, and potable water is near the restrooms. Call 1-800-PITSHOP with questions.

How do you get to the Daytona 500 from Orlando?

Daytona International Speedway is at 1801 W International Speedway Blvd, Daytona Beach. Mapping estimates for a car are about 56 miles (89 km) and 1 hour 15 minutes from the El Monte RV and Road Bear RV depot on W Colonial Dr in Orlando, and about 72 miles (116 km) and 1 hour 30 minutes from the Cruise America centre on N Orange Blossom Trail in Kissimmee. Allow longer in an RV and on race days.

• Parking: free general parking is in Lots 7 and 8, with a shuttle from Lot 7, and paid parking is in Lots 1, 3, 4 and 8. Parking options vary by event, so check the race page before you go.

8 day Daytona 500 RV trip from Orlando

Dates assume an 8 day hire from Tuesday 16 to Tuesday 23 February 2027, staying at an RV park near the speedway. Drive times are mapping estimates for a car, and the race schedule is subject to change.

Collect your motorhome in the afternoon, stock up on food and water, and drive I-4 east to your RV park, about 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes from the Orlando depots.

Day 2: Wednesday 17 February, Daytona 500 Qualifying

Watch drivers fight for the front row, or take a speedway tour (adults US$31 in the 2027 brochure) to see the 31 degree banking up close.

Day 3: Thursday 18 February, Duel at Daytona

Two qualifying races set the starting field for Sunday. Adult tickets start from US$57 in the 2027 brochure.

Day 4: Friday 19 February, beach day and Truck Series

Spend the day at the beach, then head back for the Fresh From Florida 250 Truck Series race under the lights.

The United Rentals 300 and General Tire 200 run back to back. Empty your tanks and stock up for race day.

Leave the RV at your park, take the shuttle or a ride to the track early, and settle in for 200 laps of The Great American Race.

Day 7: Monday 22 February, St Augustine

Let the traffic clear, then drive about 56 miles (90 km) north to historic St Augustine, or rest and head back towards Orlando for the night.

Day 8: Tuesday 23 February, return

Drive to the Orlando depot and return the RV between 9am and 11am. Fill the fuel tank and empty the holding tanks first to avoid extra charges.

To add the Clash at Daytona on Saturday 13 February, start the hire on Thursday 11 or Friday 12 February.

Daytona 500 RV tips

• Book the park before the RV. Speedway camping is sold out for 2027 and nearby parks set five-night race week minimums, so lock in a site first.
• Join the speedway waitlist anyway. The speedway says openings can come up as plans change, and waitlist members hear first.
• Read the refund rules. Several parks give no refunds within 30 days or a month of race week, so check before you pay.
• Avoid Sunday pick-ups and returns. Cruise America centres close on Sundays, which is race day.
• Check the power. Some park sites are 20 or 30 amp only, and the speedway charges US$50 cash for a pump-out, so arrive with empty tanks.
• Pack for cool nights. February evenings in Daytona Beach can be cool, so bring warm layers and check the forecast closer to the date.
