Poach Camping / Poverty Rider Campground – 1/2 block from Aerostich World Headquarters/VBR
Michigan Street
Duluth, MN 55806
A half block southwest of the Aerostich building is a small grassy lot, next to our neighboring business Dinehery Fence, that will be part of the VBR4 grounds. There will be a very limited number of spaces available first-come, first-served for riders to pitch a small tent. This in not an officially sanctioned camping area, and riders should be aware camping in this location is at their own risk. But, for those who are up for the adventure and want to be as close as possible to the event activities, this will be an option until the space is filled with campers.
