If you are arriving on Friday, you will not be able to drive your car to your campsite to drop off your camping gear.

Prairie Electric RV – Sold Out
- If you were the original purchaser of an Electric “wooded” Reserved or Prairie Electric site for Blue Ox 2023 then you will have the first opportunity to reserve and pay for the same site for Blue Ox 2024.
- Any original purchaser (someone who bought directly from Blue Ox) who requests to move from their Prairie Electric or Electric Reserved site will be given the first opportunity to move to a site that is NOT renewed before the waitlist. Or they can choose to release their current site if they don’t like anything that is available.
- Any Electric Reserved or Prairie Electric site that is NOT renewed/purchased after this process is done will be offered to individuals on our waitlist in the order they reached out to us. (This is a running list that carries over from each year).
- In most cases, we will ONLY have Prairie Electric sites available for our waitlist to purchase and you will have to work your way up to a “wooded” site by requesting to move the following year.
