How to Make Camping Reservations
We’re excited to make the 2025 Pageant of Steam camping experience as seamless as possible! Our Social Committee is actively working with our website provider to enable online reservations directly through our website at nysteamengineassociation.com. Once this feature is live, we’ll make an announcement on our social media channels, so stay tuned!
In the meantime, here’s how you can make your reservation:
Important: You must have an active 2025 membership to camp on the grounds. If you haven’t renewed your membership yet, you can download the membership form from our website or get assistance during your reservation phone call. Proof of membership will also be required during check-in.

Camping Gates will open on Saturday August 2, 2025 at 8am. All Campers must check in at the Champing Shed.
Sites are 30 X 30 ft. The fee for camping is $60.00 per site. (Note: Larger Campers may be required to have more than one site depending on camper size. The camping fee is per site.)
The flat rate camping fee of $60 is applicable for all campers including exhibitors on the grounds during the show. The only exception to this camping fee is if you are a Lifetime Member for your 1 designated camping spot of if you are a vendor who has paid the vendor fee for a site and the camper fits on that site.
Reservations will be taken up to August 1, 2025. As long as we have not hit our maximum camper limit, you can still come and camp with us, our Camping Committee will be sure to find you a spot to enjoy. Watch on our website and Facebook page for notice if we have reached our max.
Reservations for the 2025 show will require an upfront payment of $60 to reserve a spot. Any campers wishing to reserve a camping site for the 2026 year may do so during the 2025 show at the Camping Shed.
