Camping lots will accommodate campers between ages 18-26 sleeping in their own tents. The campground will include: solar showers, porta-potties, wash stations, security, bike racks, charge-up stations, and wireless internet.
A bus pass ($5 for the week) will provide transportation directly between Cobo and the campground.
The site is on the NW corner of Woodward and Temple in Detroit and can be found here. USSF site locations can be found here.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at ussftentcity@gmail.com. If you would like to talk on the phone, send us an email with times/dates that work for you and we can set it up.
If you want to rent a bike for the week, click here. There is no guarantee that we will have a bike for you, because they will be arriving during the USSF. The bikes will be assigned at a first come first serve basis and someone will be in touch with you after you fill out your reservation.
