Nationals Parking

I have checked with two nearby hotels and I was told there was no parking available for shuttle service to the nationals show. Is there a shuttle service schedule with pick up locations available? Will there be any local parking available? Thanks

I suspect the problem is that all the nearby hotels are also sold out and are holding parking for their registered guests. Of course, some of us will be driving from our hotel parking to the swap meet area, so the hotel parking won't be completely full.

I think I read somewhere that those bringing vehicles via trailer are required to park their tow vehicle in the trailer parking area. It seems like that scenario could get a little crazy.

Just got here today. There appears to be a shuttle service that is going between the overflow hotels, trailer parking area and the show. I know parking at the Hampton was ok today but will be crowded starting tomorrow because I think the H/O Nationals start Thursday and this is the Host Hotel. There are a few fast food places next to the Hampton, that may be an option.

The trailer parking is about a mile away in a cow pasture! (not really, just a really rough grass/gravel lot). There is off duty police security there. I told them I had to drive my truck & parked here at the host hotel. No problem, but there are not a lot of open spaces!

The YMCA is about a 10 minute walk from the show. You can walk on the golf cart path (sidewalk too but cart path has shade) as the driving range is next to the Y. There's a bridge over the creek. I couldn't find parking for the Jeep and this worked out ok, aside from the fact I could only spend the day
