Frankenmuth city ordinances prohibit overnight camping except in commercial campgrounds. As a result, we are unable to offer overnight camping at the show site. Overnight camping is available at the following nearby campgrounds, which accept reservations up to a year in advance:
• Frankenmuth Jellystone Park (approximately ½ mile from the show site) • 15% discount for NCA National Specialty guests; 20% discount for a 7-stay day • (989) 652-6668

• Pineridge RV Campground (approximately 5 miles from the show site) • (989) 624-9029
• Krystal Lake Campground (approximately 15 miles from the show site) • (989) 843-0591

A paved hotel parking lot, south of the main Lodge entrance and in view of the covered bridge, will be reserved for daytime RV parking. The distance from the RV parking lot to the show ring is about .3 miles. Those who utilize this option may wish to consider renting a golf cart. To help us plan the amount of space needed, please return the Daytime RV Parking Form to Chuck Ialungo by April 1.

The hotel parking lots have space to accommodate 1,800 vehicles, so there will be ample parking available for exhibitors and spectators. Exhibitors may drive to the grooming building to unload before parking their vehicles.

Not wanting anyone to be left out of the fun planned for the 2010 National, we are ready with a helping hand and a ride. For those who have difficulty walking the distance from the Bavarian Inn Lodge to the day’s events at Heritage Park and back, golf cart shuttle service will be offered. Other special needs? Please let us know, and we will try to help. Complete the request form send it to Ron and Beth Sell by April 1.

We know that some of our attendees will have trained service dogs, and we want to be sure that those dogs have full access to all areas of the hotel. In order to avoid inconvenience to you, we respectfully request that your service dog(s) wear a vest or other easily seen badge or garment in the hotel so staff can quickly identify your dog. We understand that Federal ADA law does not require identification; however, it would help to increase efficiency and convenience if hotel staff were able to quickly identify working service dogs.
