For Sell-Presidential Campground Spot-Albuquerque international balloon fiesta
Greetings,
I have a friend who reserved an RV spot to the Albuquerque international balloon festival 2018 for Oct 10-15th - ends on the 14th. But has the spot an extra day to leave on a leisure schedule to avoid crowds. A cool event if you have never been - over 400 balloons launch!
They are now not able to attend.
This campground has water and electricity(usually 50amp)(which is rare for this event) - $800 Sewage is truck pumped.
This overlooks the launch field. Awesome convenient spot.

Umm, yeah... sounds awesome, but... $800 for 5 days? For an RV site???
I don’t know, maybe I’m missing something. I’m an aviation nut, but I don’t think I need to see balloons that bad.

I thought the $800 was just for the pump truck! Now that would be expensive!
Yep it is not cheap during this event. Think of it like going to Formula 1 or Nascar - those sites are the premium sites. I am headed to Formula 1 in Austin TX the weekend after this and the premium sites there are 8K for the race along the track. - Nope - I am not paying that for my spot.
Balloon Festival is mostly a dry camping event. But nice to have water and full electric when you have 8 people piled into your camper.
On canceling the reservation they will only get 50% back of their deposit.
No worries - it has already sold. Thank goodness these spots are in demand.
