Plan your stay at COTA Lot N camping
Your base is included. Choose the food and outings you want, then save them together. Adjust visit days and times in your itinerary; bookings are arranged separately.
Lot N is on the Turn 3 side. Ask staff for the permitted pedestrian route to your ticketed area. The operator advertises free shuttles at Turns 3 and 6; confirm boarding points, accessibility and hours at check-in. They are not the Waterloo Park city shuttle.
Agree the route back to Lot N before leaving camp. After a concert, follow the open pedestrian route or confirmed local shuttle. Its final service is not published; arrange a return you can manage without relying on it. Carry a torch and keep campsite credentials with you.
Lot N accommodates tents and RVs in designated areas. Premium is an RV stay, not a ready-pitched tent. Bring or hire your equipment separately; confirm delivery, collection, dimensions and vehicle passes before paying.
Accessible camping
Contact the RV office on 512-655-6226 about an ADA site and required credentials. Agree the pitch surface, bathroom access, reliable power and the full route to your viewing area. Circuit accessibility does not guarantee every campsite service.
Showers, servicing and cooking
Lot N shower tickets are USD 10 each or USD 30 for a weekend pass. Pump-outs are USD 55 and freshwater fills USD 60 per service. Two weekend shower passes cost USD 60; one pump-out plus one fill costs USD 115. These are separate from the pitch; confirm taxes, fees and booking procedures. Use only permitted cooking equipment under current fire rules, and keep fuel-burning equipment outside sleeping spaces.
A city evening from camp
Choose a city outing instead of the COTA concert that night. Book the permitted pickup and return, confirm campsite re-entry and leave room for traffic. Do not assume rideshare can collect you from your pitch.
Confirm camping, admission and equipment separately.
Check arrival hours, dimensions, occupancy and cancellation terms.
