⛺ On-Venue Camping

On-venue camping is one of the best—and most affordable—ways to experience Midwest Geobash. With hundreds of campsites available, one flat price covers all four nights, making it an easy and budget-friendly option.

Camping at MWGB is a big part of the fun! Each year, hundreds of geocachers turn the fairgrounds into a lively tent city filled with laughter, late-night conversations, and new friends.

🎨 Decorate Your Campsite!
If you’re camping, don’t miss out on our Campsite Decoration Contest. Decorating to the event theme adds so much personality and atmosphere to the grounds—and prizes are awarded! You’re welcome to use MWGB mascots, logos, and branding as part of your decorations.


🚐 Need a Camper?

Tent camping not your thing, but you don’t own an RV? Renting one might be the perfect solution!

Several online platforms offer privately owned camper rentals (similar to Airbnb). These services are not affiliated with MWGB, but are provided here as helpful options:

For full details on camping, including rules and amenities, be sure to review the Camping & Venue Policies.


🏨 Hotels

Prefer a bed and a hot shower instead of a sleeping bag? No problem! There are multiple hotels less than a mile from the fairgrounds, making them an easy drive—or even a reasonable walk—back to your room.

The nearby hotels range from simple and budget-friendly to more upscale, so you’ll be able to find something that fits your style and budget. Additional options are also available in nearby village/city of Archbold and Napoleon.
