Flite Fest Camping 2026

Flite Fest 2026 is heading to Dayton, Ohio, for the largest collaboration in Flite Test history.

Hosted at the National Museum of the United States Air Force alongside the DARPA Lift Challenge, a $6.5 million heavy-lift drone competition that pushes the limits of UAV design, aerospace engineering, and vertical-lift innovation.

Join us for Build Tents. Open Flying. Crazy Builds. RC Air Combat. STEM. Community. Now combined with one of the most ambitious drone innovation challenges in the world.

Finally, take advantage of FREE admission every day, 9 a.m.- 5 p.m., to the NMUSAF - the world's largest and oldest military aviation museum, featuring over 360 aircraft across 19 acres of indoor space.

The camping area is on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, an active U.S. Air Force installation (which is pretty cool, and also means this is not a traditional campground)

• Camping sites are dry. There are no water hookups, electrical hookups, or dump stations available for RVs or campers.
• Generators and propane grills are permitted in designated camping areas.
• A mobile RV pump-out service is being coordinated. Details, scheduling information, and contact instructions will be posted once finalized. Any pump-out services will be arranged directly between campers and the service provider.
• Campers should plan accordingly. Additional camping information is available in the FAQ section.
• Camp site locations may change due to field conditions, operational requirements, or event needs.
