Camping

Stay right in the heart of SUN ’n FUN!

Whether you’re camping in an RV, pitching a tent or looking for the convenience of water and electric hookups, onsite camping puts you close to the action throughout the week.

All camping options require a separate General Admission ticket. General Admission is not included with any camping purchase.

Why Camp with Us?

Whether you’re staying for a night or making SUN ’n FUN home for the full week, camping puts you right in the middle of the Expo experience. Spend your days exploring everything happening across the grounds, then stick around as SUN ’n FUN continues into the evening with airshows, live entertainment, special events, and plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow aviation enthusiasts.
Campers can also head to The Swamp, located near Hangar E—a laid-back gathering spot featuring food, drinks, and live entertainment. It’s the perfect place to unwind after a full day at the Expo, meet up with friends, and enjoy the SUN ’n FUN community.
And when you’re ready to venture beyond the grounds, rideshare services make it easy to explore Lakeland’s local dining and entertainment.
