Thousands of campers already know: NASCAR’s spring weekend in Atlanta is the best time to kick off camping season.

The Ambetter Health 400 weekend mixes the savory food, fun games, and rekindled friendships of Atlanta Motor Speedway’s campgrounds with the high-speed, high-octane action of NASCAR. Already the best way to experience a race weekend, camping at AMS will be better than ever Feb. 23-25 with added activities and amenities for fans camping at the speedway.

THOR RV Service and Repair – Feb. 22-24

THOR Industries, the Official RV Partner of Atlanta Motor Speedway, will provide complementary service and repair to fans camping during the Ambetter Health 400 weekend.
