Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta VIP Lot

The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta VIP Lot is one of the premier camping options for the festival. Located directly on the festival grounds, it offers the unique experience of waking up to hundreds of balloons flying directly overhead. The prime location means you can simply walk to all balloon festival events without dealing with traffic or parking. While this is a dry camping situation arranged rally-style, the convenience of being on-site makes it highly desirable for balloon enthusiasts.

Book your spot at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta VIP Lot as soon as reservations open, typically many months in advance. These spots are extremely limited and fill up almost immediately due to the premium location and included festival benefits. The VIP spots are considered some of the most sought-after accommodations for the event, and many attendees book a year ahead when possible. If you're interested in staying here, set calendar reminders for when reservations open and be prepared to act quickly.

No shuttle service is needed from the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta VIP Lot as it's located directly on the festival grounds. You can simply walk from your RV to all balloon festival events. This is one of the major advantages of staying at the VIP Lot - immediate access to the festivities without needing transportation. Each VIP West spot includes two tickets to every festival session, allowing you to easily come and go throughout the event without transportation concerns.
