We claim the camp spot Thursday, October 8 — but guildies won't camp until Friday, October 9. A dry camp under the stars of the Renaissance.
RV camping (Fifth Wheel, Bumper Pull, or Pop-Up Trailers) lets you park your rig beside the campground and build your own weekend oasis. RV camping days are Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
The House holds one RV space, and our rig is in it. There is no second spot beside us — if you want to bring your own RV you would need to reserve a space directly with the festival, which runs about $980. Otherwise: pitch a tent, or claim a bunk with us. More in the FAQ.
⚠ Dry camping space — no water service, dump station, or servicing is provided by Clark County (contact Las Vegas Toilet Rentals to arrange). RV trailers must unhook from the tow vehicle; no vehicles may remain hitched during the event. Camp spots are very limited and first-come, first-served. No showers on site.
No showers on site. We have no water service or dump service — shower at home before you come. (There were public showers in the faire grounds last year; that may be an option.) Bathrooms: a potty in the RV, plus porta-potties close by in our camp area. You're welcome to use the refrigerator and sleep in the designated area.
Our spot is pavement, with a large generator between the campsites. The year it bit us the air said 97°F — out on the asphalt it felt like 105. There is no shade of its own out there, and blacktop holds the heat long after the sun has come off it.
Do not let a mild forecast fool you. Over the last twenty-six years that weekend has run anywhere from 78°F to 97°F, and last year it rained on the Friday. Come ready for both.
Bring your own shade. A pop-up canopy, a tarp and a bit of rope, anything that gets you out of the sun. It is the single thing that makes the difference between a good day at camp and a rough one.
Bring more water than you think. Not just to drink — for rinsing off, for the back of your neck. There is no water service at camp. A cooler with ice earns its place.
Charging is covered. Plug your phone in inside the RV. There is a large generator sitting between the campsites and it runs the rig, so nobody needs to ration their battery.
Full garb in the afternoon is a lot. Linen and light layers, a hat, and take the middle of the day slowly.
All three are real beds — two in the rig, and the third made up from the couch or the dinette. Bring your own bedding for any of them; none is provided. A sleeping bag and your pillow are the way (and yes, maybe a teddy bear). Bunks are limited — release yours if your plans change so a guildmate can take it.
We'll have some food at camp and a few beers in the refrigerator, plus a potluck — feel free to eat as you will, in the faire or by the fire. Bring a dish to share if you can.
Passes for only six people — and you know who you are. Camp spots are very limited, first-come, first-served.
Every bunk comes with a wristband, and that band includes your entry to the faire from the camping area. Show it at the RV campsite gate and the guards will wave you through. No wristband, no entry past the gate.
Do not buy a ticket if you have a bunk. The band already covers your day — there is no need to pay twice.
The band belongs to the bunk, not to you. Hold the same bunk both nights and it is yours for the weekend. Hold it for one night and you pass it to whoever has that bunk the next night — find them at the rig, or leave it with Mama Bear. It is the same band either way; only the wrist changes.
Send word to Mama Bear for any other questions or concerns: houseofcardandcoin@gmail.com — or send a pigeon.
RV campsite entranceLook for the camping entrance on the far left of the map — marked with the X. Our RV campsite is just inside. Sunset Park, 2601 E Sunset Rd, Las Vegas.
Sunset Park is big, and the faire only uses part of it. Here is the whole park with every public lot marked, so you can see what you are driving into.
The faire’s camping FAQ is clear on this much:
Come early on the Friday if you can — the lots nearest the camping end of the park are the small ones, and they go first.
The faire has not published its 2026 parking — their Parking & Rideshare page still says “Information Coming Soon”, and the arrangement changed last year, so nothing from previous years can be trusted. That means general parking, overflow lots and shuttles are all unknown for now.
Read it from them directly: Parking & Rideshare and the Camping FAQs. This page will be updated as soon as they say more.
The camp is ours to run. The gates are not — these are the festival’s, and they are the ones that decide whether you get through the door.
Sunday finishes five hours earlier than the other two. Worth knowing before you plan the last day.
It opens an hour before the gates and shuts an hour before them.
If you have a bunk with the House you have a wristband, and the wristband is your way in from the camping area. None of the ticket business above applies to you — do not go and buy one.
The festival allows no pets, no animals and no emotional support animals anywhere on the grounds. Any animal that is not a service animal will be turned away at the gate.
Only service animals as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act are admitted. They must stay under their handler’s control at all times, and the festival may ask the questions the law allows in order to verify.
This one is theirs, not ours, and they do enforce it — please do not arrive with a dog expecting to talk your way in.
These are the rules that touch camping and the gates. For everything else the festival asks and answers — what you may carry in, parking, accessibility, weather — read theirs:
Opens lvrenfair.com in a new tab. If they and we ever disagree, they are right — it is their gate.
Quests, trading, tales, and a seat by the campfire await. Send your pigeon and claim your place in the House of Card and Coin.
