    We went three years ago. I guess we got lucky. We were travelling back from Vegas, got to Albuquerque 10 PM. Camped in Coronado Mall parking lot. Got up at 4 AM to ride shuttle in to Balloon launch area. It was cold! Watched almost 700 balloons liftoff. Amazing and beautiful!! We were back to our truck by lunch time and travelled on to Amarillo, TX.
    It would be nice to be able to stay several days, and to explore the area around there too.

    Need to book pretty soon

    Kris and I are still planning to go next October. We're thinking we might book a few nights prior and maybe 3-4 nights of the festival. I assume if we were to come in on Wed or Thur, we could beat the last minute rush which sounds like it gets pretty backed up. I want to do that pretty soon, as I have read that it sells out the RV sites quite early. I'd like to book by the end of this month.

    Kris retired last summer and I'm in a phased retirement program that lets me cut back my hours over time. I should be completely done by the end of Jume, at least that's our current plan. I'll post back when have booked a site.

    Good news and bad news. The bad news is, all of the Premium(electric & water) RV sites are booked on some of the most popular days. The good news is, the Standard dry sites are still available. We booked 5 nights, checking in early on Wednesday Sept 30th, staying through the first weekend and checking out on Monday Oct 5th. Jennifer Garcia also added us to the Premium site wait list for this same 5 nights. Let us know if you go and we can meet you for a cold one.

    Would be so fun. I've been there a few years ago, but stayed in hotel. Will watch this thread and see what our schedule allows.

    If anyone is still thinking about going next October, you should think seriously about booking a site as soon as possible. All of the sites with water and electric are sold out the first weekend. They still have dry sites available, which is what we have reserved, but these will also sell out very soon. Like I mentioned we are checking in early on Wed Sept 29th and staying 5 nights, through the first weekend. Let us know if you make a reservation and we'll see you there.

    Thanks all,

    We were on a waiting list for a upgrade to a premium site and found out in July that we could upgrade, so we took it. We booked a balloon flight on the opening day of the event, not cheap..... Looking forward to it. We will post some pics in early October. If anyone will be there, let us know, happy hour at our rig. P & K
