The campground is within walking distance of the Launch Field. However, it is a mighty big campground that held several thousand RVs at this 2012 fiesta. The two RV Gypsies were parked in one of the furthest back rows, and it took them 45 minutes to walk to the Launch Field. Later they found out that there was a free bus shuttle from the front of the campground to the field. This event was wonderful, but everyone had to do a lot of walking once they reach the Launch Field, so the two RV Gypsies say - take the free shuttle to the Launch Field so you have enough energy to enjoy all the amazing events.

No amenities here, yet it cost more than any other campground the two RV Gypsies have ever been at. And eventually, the RV's were packed in really really close to each other.

NOTE: The two RV Gypsies had booked a hot air balloon ride, but it got canceled due to weather. Luckily they have been in a hot air balloon years ago, but they were still quite disappointed. Especially since the weather cleared up and the ride was canceled by the company prematurely.

Please return to the Albuquerque Hot Air Balloon Fiesta MAIN MENU to see the other six portions of this experience: the twilight twinkle glow, the mass ascension, the balloon glow, flying competition, the museum.
