Our Story

A Tradition of Warm Hospitality Beside the Track

Nestled along North Lincoln Street in the heart of Knoxville, Iowa, Knoxville Raceway Campground has been a trusted stop for racetrack enthusiasts and travelers seeking a quieter kind of adventure since our founding.

What began as a modest pull-off for weekend racers has grown into a thoughtfully maintained retreat — where spacious sites, clean facilities, and genuine Midwestern hospitality come together to make every stay memorable. We believe that after a day on the track, the best reward is a comfortable place to rest and a friendly face at check-in.

"We don't just host guests — we welcome them into our community."

The Raceway

Heartbeat of Knoxville Motorsports

Knoxville Raceway is one of the most storied short tracks in Midwest racing — a place where legends have been made and where the roar of engines is part of the local identity. Staying at our campground means you're just steps from the action, with the convenience of a full night's rest between heats.

What Our Visitors Say

Real words from real guests who made Knoxville Raceway Campground their home away from home.

"

We've been coming here for three race weekends in a row. The sites are clean, the staff is incredibly welcoming, and there's nothing quite like walking to the track after a good night's sleep.

The cabin was a delightful surprise — rustic but spotless, with everything we needed. Waking up to birdsong instead of engine noise was the perfect counterpoint to race day.

Best campground experience we've had in Iowa. Full hookups, great Wi-Fi, and the community fire pit brought everyone together. We'll be back next season for sure.
