Once a year opportunity and grand adventure!!

Reservations for camping at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta must be made in January. You must check their website for the exact date. Sites sell out within an hour! Reservations are made online only. This event takes place for 9 days beginning the first full weekend in October and running through the next Sunday. It's a bucket list must see!

A bit of a challenge to get a camp site but SO worth it! We dry camped on the South Lot in a "Box space". This allowed us to back up to the big open field where we saw balloons landing if the winds were right and even some launching when the competition required they fly back to the Fiesta field.

If you love hot air balloons and have never been to this amazing Albuquerque event, camping on site is the way to go!
