Where to Camp

We will try and attempt to answer one of the most complicated questions of the Joe Nall.  “Where should I camp?”  There are five flight lines and room at all of them to camp.  If it is your first time you might want to park on the hill and take a walk around and see what fits your needs.  Look at the map and aerial photos to help you decide (Map click here coming soon).  Some like to pitch a tent back in the tree line and others park campers and RV’s on the hill looking over the main line.  The 3D line has large shaded areas to park campers under the trees.  The opposite side of the lake has some of the best views of the event as you look across the 40 acre lake. As a general rule for all flight lines there is NO tenting or campers on the flight lines. This will include the float fly line this year. Only vehicles and airplane trailers can park directly behind the tent lines. 

What to Expect.

When you find that perfect spot to setup camp, you might need blocks to help level your trailer, so bring several blocks with you.  There are two Bathhouses on site with toilets, showers and hot water.  The largest is at the main flight line near the hanger.  The second bathhouse is at the 3D line. Porta-johns are everywhere! There are no hook ups for campers so plan accordingly.  Water jugs can be filled near the bathhouses.  The company that services the porta-johns will pump out holding tanks for a fee when they are on site. The food vendors, onsite, will serve breakfast, lunch, and snacks throughout the day. Bag Ice and ice cream can also be purchased on site.  In the evenings during the week there will be several dinners, please check our Events Schedule for more details. On Friday evening join everybody at our World’s Famous Joe Nall BBQ.  Get your tickets early as we always sell out the 1200 tickets. There is a small Grocery store a mile up the road. The town of Woodruff is 4 miles up the road and has a couple of large grocery stores and some restaurants. Camping supplies can be purchased and Propane tanks can be refilled at the ACE Hardware store beside BI-LO in town.

Night Life 

There are plenty of nighttime activities. Night flying is the most popular.  You can see 4 to 5 lighted planes in the sky at any time. Movies and slideshows will be shown nightly at the hangar. The hanger is open with people hanging out talking about the day. One of the most popular evening activities is “The Joe Nall Valkyrie Big Build” project is in the hanger. Come by and glue some sticks together, usually there till midnight. Karaoke at the Hangar and 3D Gazebo, so start warming up those windpipes. (as a side note you may want to bring ear plugs for these nights) If you would like a campfire please use a portable fire pit as to not burn up the grass. Firewood is available, but you will have to cut it from the piles of timber on the lower end. No need for alarm clocks. The dawn patrol will wake you up.
