Parking Information

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.

Reserved handler parking will be available to any exhibitor with three (3) or more Newfoundlands entered. Parking will be in paved parking lots, across from the show ring, approximately 125 ft. away. Each spot will be 18' X 18'. The cost is $35. There will be a limited number of larger spots, 18'X 36', to accommodate larger handler rigs over 18' at a cost of $65. No RVs are permitted to park in the Handler Parking Area. Generators may not run during the quiet hours, 10:00 PM —6:00 AM. Reservations will be accepted beginning with a January 10, 2011 postmark. To reserve a spot, send the form to Kathy Whitney. The deadline is April 1.

For your convenience, golf carts will be available for rent. The cost will be $250 for a regular 2-passenger cart or $325 for a 4-passenger cart for the week. The golf carts will be available beginning Sunday, May 2. They can be picked up by the tennis courts and may be returned there at the end of the week. To order a golf cart, please complete the reservation form and return to Mike Lovett. The ordering deadline is April 1.

Not wanting anyone to be left out of the fun planned for the 2011 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.

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.
