  1. Where can I park my bike while at the RCC?

Motorcycle parking is included and welcome right on the event's grounds.

  1. I'm not going to take my bike; can I park my cage (car/truck) on the RCC grounds?

Sorry, no.  In order to protect the motorcycles on the RCC grounds, cars & trucks are not allowed in.  However, parking is available at one of the neighbors' locations.  They will have signs as you enter the neighborhood; costs may vary.

ROADSIDE PARKING IS NOT ALLOWED FOR ANY VEHICLE.

YES!!!! The cost of admission includes tent camping on the Roscoe Chili Challenge grounds in designated areas (don't worry, there's plenty of camping areas).  There are limited showers, and plenty of portapottys.  As long as there is no Burn Ban in Polk County, RCC allows controlled fires at your campsite. 

Camping off the Roscoes Chili Challenge gournds may be arrainged with the neigbors (click HERE) but is not included in the RCC admission price.

No, but fret not!  Camper & RV parking for the event is provided by Roscoe's neighbors as close as next door!  They will have signs posted as you enter the neighborhood, but it is highly recommended to make advance arrangments with them.  No hookups are available unless specified by the neighbor.  Contact info for these neighbors is available HERE.  Transportation from these areas is provided however, transporters work for tips only. Please don't forget to tip your transportation provider.
