Earhart Station LLC is a family-owned-and-operated facility located in beautiful Bristol, Tenn. We began parking cars at the very first race held at Bristol International Raceway in 1961 and are now open for most major local events throughout the year.
Over the years, we have grown to become a full-service facility offering spectacular camping opportunities, daily parking and tailgating sites, retail vending, corporate marketing and sponsor-hosted hospitality sites.We also produce a full-scale, free concert series entitled Rockin' & Racin' presented by Miller Lite.

This land has been "camped" by the Earhart/Rhea family since 1775. In that year, Rev. Joseph Rhea, having immigrated to America from Ireland and living in Maryland, purchased the original 2,000 acres of land encompassing what is now the home of Bristol Motor Speedway and Earhart Campground.
The property was known by multiple names in the early years in the Rhea family, including the farm aptly called "Elm Circle, " for the stately elms under which Rhea delivered many sermons, as perhaps the first protestant minister to do so in the land that would eventually become the state of Tennessee, as well as "Old Ireland, " which was the name given to the original log home built in 1800, but no longer standing.

In addition to our basic campground facilities and services we offer several extra benefits. Information tents located in both Earhart East and Earhart West are staffed with friendly faces to answer questions about the campground or the Bristol area. Raceway Ministries is set up in two locations. Dedicated men and women are available in both Earhart East and West and are committed to helping everyone.
Prices below are for the NASCAR Cup events in March and September and are for the entire week. It doesn't matter if you come on Sunday or Friday - we charge the same rate, so come early and stay with us a while and enjoy your trip to Bristol! We are open for all 2021 dirt track racing. Contact our office for pricing for these specific events.

Stayed at Earhart East. I have never encountered such hospitality.The owners went out of their way to help us out (Got into a Pole with Camper} They saved a disaster & made our stay extremely pleasant. The people of Tennessee are the the greatest & the Earhart's are the best. Great facility as well.

I was a little concerned with the "first come first served" policy..as I am used to reserving a spot because I like to be sure of things when traveling. Well I was not disappointed! The campground is huge, the shower facilities are top notch..and right across the street from the BMS. Traveling with my 7 year old grandson was made easier by this wonderful place! Thanks so much to the nice ice lady that called my little guy buddy, you made his trip!

First time I tent camped at Earhart was 1996. At that time it was a cow pasture and had signs of dried cow pies. But a great staff. I've stayed there for 20 years straight and have seen the ups/downs of NASCAR and the way Earhart handled it. in the late 90's you had to get there on Monday for the August night race if you wanted a spot! Earhart's THE campground as we are just across a creek to the BMS property! The late Charles Earhart became a good friend and would visit our camp every year! 'Charlie', was a hell of a great man, mild-mannered but put up with no BS

We chose Earhart Campgrounds for our Bristol camping because my coworker said her family owns it and it seemed very near the track.
NOTE that the address is a PO Box on the website. The actual camp location is off of Highway 11E DIRECTLY BESIDE THE TRACK. There are two sections - one beside the track on the same side of the road, one across 11E.
So when you get there you just decide which side you want to go to....we pulled in to the side right beside the track. They take cash only, $200 per spot, so we paid and a guy led us to a spot on a 4 wheeler. There are numerous spots and you can
