RV parking at Kroger Field: questions
Where can an RV park without a permit at Kroger Field?
In the free visitor RV lot at the corner of Virginia and Press Avenue, or in the overflow lot near Press and Transcript Avenue. Neither takes reservations: both fill first come, first served. ukathletics.com
When can an RV arrive on campus?
Not before 6 p.m. on the Friday before game day, when both visitor RV lots open; RV parking anywhere on campus waits until then. The athletics department points earlier arrivals to its printed list of RV alternatives in Lexington. ukathletics.com
Are there hookups or restrooms?
Neither visitor lot has RV hookups. Tailgaters may not bring pop-up or portable restrooms onto campus grounds; the portable restrooms set out around the stadium complex are the ones to use. ukathletics.com
How do the permit RV lots work?
Main RV and Gluck RV permits are numbered to assigned stalls rather than first come, and the stall number shows on the mobile permit as the seat location. Permit holders may enter from 8 p.m. Friday, stay in their lot through game day, and must be gone by noon Sunday. ukathletics.com
Can I bring a car or run a generator?
Cars must be unhitched before entering the permit RV lots, except trucks pulling a fifth wheel or trailer. Portable generators need approval from UK Athletics and a rating of 60 decibels or less, and golf carts are not allowed anywhere around the stadium complex. ukathletics.com
