Kmarie91 - 2017-02-13 9:56 AM who do we contact about the r.v. spots if they are separate and how much would they cost per night? is it worth fighting over a r.v. spot or better to just get a hotel? pros and cons of both? trying to decide what to do and what is best financialy

The web site I posted the link to above says RV sites are first come/first serve.  From what others have posted, be there in line to get an RV as soon as they become available, otherwise plan on not getting one.

Location: Central Texas		You can get to the grounds earlier than midnight, but you are not supposed to unload your horse or go in the barns before midnight. I was told there were people in the barns before midnight last year. If you have and RV (or using a horse trailer that won't have horses) you can go earlier and get in a spot at any time. You have to pay for that time too. The RV's have water and electric and a central dumping station that is easy to get to. There are about 330 I think, but they fill up quick. Last year was bad too because of the rain. There were several spots in standing water. If your trailer is only a 30 amp, bring a 50 amp converter in case thats all thats left. Generators park in any of the cement lots.  I think it was $20 a night for the RV. When you are pulling in that night there is a guy handing out the reservation forms. It is FCFS. You aren't supposed to reserve spots, but people do. I had friends last year who unloaded thier golf cart and held their spot that way. The mom stayed at the golf cart while the others went to the barns to unload.

We ate at Cattleman's which isn't far from the arena and it was good.  You have to send your entries in together to get stalls together. The stalls are very tall. Three of the walls are solid, and the front wall is small squared thick metal wire. It would be a feat to climb the stall door and steal tack (I'm sure there are people who do). You will see most people get a tack stall to keep feed and hay and such in. Just keep it locked at all times. When they assign stalls they assign them across from each other instead of side by side. This allows the horses to at least see each other.

The big parking lot facing the barns is where I stayed last year. I got there about 1 or 2 Wednesday I think so we were at the back, but it was more spacious back there. We had plenty of room. I never brought my horses to the trailer since it was so far on concrete. I just took my saddles up there each time. A golf cart is very handy but not mandatory. But Im pretty sure I spent enough money in fuel what I would have spent renting a golf cart, and it would have been easier. I ran a generator the whole weekend because it was hot. I didn't even see the RV park and I know I will go back to the same spot I was last year and run my generator. I don't think anyone would regret going, it really is a lot of fun.
Word of advise, If you want to put your horse in one of the turn out pens, it is free, but DO NOT leave your horse or they will lock it in until you call them.
