Mandy,

Thanks for posting the link. It brings back memories of visiting the event many years ago. I have always wanted to make my way back again. Can you comment on the event accommodations for trailer parking/camping.

Edit add:
I found the RV accomodation description:
Avoid the traffic. Bring your RV to the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta® and park in our RV Facilities within walking distance of the Launch Field (shuttle also available). Enjoy the convenience. Hurry and make your reservations now to assure the type of site you prefer. Our four site types include STANDARD (dry camping), PREMIUM (low pressure water and electricity with 20 Amps minimum), VIP (dry camping adjacent to the Launch Field with entry passes included) and PRESIDENT'S COMPOUND (premier sites on a bluff overlooking the Launch Field with city water pressure and 30 Amp minimum electricity).

They have RV parking next to the Baloon Fiesta. You have to get there at least a week early it fills up quick. I don't know how much it costs but can be sure that it is way expensive.
