Camping inside Daytona International Speedway turns the Coke Zero Sugar 400 from a Saturday-night race into a full infield weekend. For 2027, the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race is scheduled for Friday, August 27, followed by the Coke Zero Sugar 400 on Saturday, August 28. The biggest decision is not simply premium versus standard: each campground puts you near a different part of the 2.5-mile oval, with distinct hookups, crowd energy and access considerations.
Daytona is currently taking 2027 camping pre-sale sign-ups rather than listing final inventory and prices, so this is the time to narrow your wish list and watch for the on-sale announcement. If you are also sorting out grandstand plans, start with Daytona race-weekend tickets and confirm exactly what admission is included with your campsite before checkout.
The Shores at Lake Lloyd: the polished premium choice
The Shores at Lake Lloyd is the best fit for campers who value comfort, a more contained setting and a scenic central-infield base. It sits along Lake Lloyd between Turns 2 and 3, with controlled access for its RV guests and a walking path. The campground’s premium setup includes power and water hookups, showers, restrooms, infield shuttle service, plus paid pump-out and propane refill options.
Sites are listed at 20 by 40 feet and are for self-contained RVs, fifth wheels and travel trailers; Daytona says all wheels must remain on pavement. Choose Lake Lloyd if your group wants the campground to feel like part of the vacation rather than merely a place to sleep. It is particularly appealing for families and travelers who prefer an organized, quieter home base over the liveliest party scene. It is also likely to be among the most in-demand options, so join the pre-sale list early.
Red RV and Red Premium: best for central infield convenience
Red Camping is centrally located near Lake Lloyd and the infield’s activity areas, making it the practical all-around pick for campers who want to be in the middle of the social action. Both Red RV and Red Premium accommodate self-contained RVs, fifth wheels and travel trailers on 20-by-40-foot sites.
Standard Red has showers, restrooms, shuttle service and paid pump-out and propane refill service. Red Premium adds power and water hookups; most sites are grass, although sites 1 through 30 are paved. That makes Red Premium the straightforward choice if you need shore power and onboard-water convenience, while standard Red works for a more self-sufficient RV crew that would rather spend less on the campsite itself.
Think of Red as the best balance: it is not as specifically focused on a corner view as Yellow or Green, but it is well positioned for people who expect to walk, mingle and explore the infield between track sessions.
Yellow RV and Yellow Premium: choose this for Turns 1 and 2
Yellow Camping sits inside Turns 1 and 2, where the high banks create the dramatic, fast-moving visual Daytona fans come for. If your priority is being close to that corner action and enjoying the atmosphere of cars working through the banking, Yellow is the natural choice.
Yellow RV provides showers, restrooms, shuttle service and paid pump-out and propane refill service, but no listed hookups. Yellow Premium adds power hookups. Water is more limited here: Daytona lists water hookups only for premium sites 701 through 722, so do not assume every Yellow Premium space has water. Confirm your exact site utilities when booking, especially if your rig depends on a continuous hookup rather than a filled freshwater tank.
As with Red, sites are 20 by 40 feet and require a self-contained RV, fifth wheel or travel trailer. Yellow is a strong option for race-focused groups willing to trade some central-location convenience for a more track-oriented setting.
Green RV: the Turn 4 value-minded race view
Green RV occupies the infield near Turn 4, where cars come off the banking and head toward the 18-degree tri-oval. It is a smart choice for campers who care most about a distinct on-track perspective and a simpler camping setup. Green has 20-by-40-foot grass sites for self-contained RVs, fifth wheels and travel trailers, along with showers, restrooms and infield shuttle service.
Unlike the premium areas, Green does not list electric or water hookups, pump-out service or propane refill. Come prepared to operate independently: arrive with batteries charged, freshwater topped off and a plan for late-August Florida heat. A portable power station can be useful for small electronics, while a cooling towel earns its place during daytime setup.
Before you reserve
- Measure honestly. The 20-by-40-foot footprint is not generous once you account for slides, tow vehicles and gear. Review the current campground map before choosing a site.
- Book for utilities, not just a color. Lake Lloyd and Red Premium have power and water; Yellow Premium has power, but water is limited to specified sites; standard Red, Yellow and Green do not list hookups.
- Plan for an RV, not tent camping. These featured campgrounds are for self-contained RVs, trailers and fifth wheels. Tent-and-car campers should look instead at Daytona’s Orange Campgrounds.
- Watch the arrival instructions. Move-in dates, gate routing, shuttle hours and permitted items are released in Daytona’s event-specific camping guide and can change for 2027.
Bottom line: choose Lake Lloyd for premium comfort, Red for central infield energy, Yellow for Turns 1 and 2 race atmosphere, and Green for a Turn 4-focused, more self-reliant weekend. Check current site pricing, included credentials and arrival procedures before you lock in your campsite.
