New York State has announced that some camping spots in Watkins Glen State Park will open early next year for NASCAR week at Watkins Glen International.
Two of the state park’s camping loops will be available for NASCAR campers on race weekend, which is set for May 8 through May 10 next year.
NASCAR moved the race weekend at The Glen from its normal August date to Mother’s Day weekend in 2026.
