RV Parking and Camping at this track?

You can't camp in the infield at Bristol. There's just enough room for the haulers and team campers but there's camping (both speedway and privately owned) as close as across the street from the racetrack. But the nearer it is, the more you'll pay. Often RV Camping Passes are available on my premium tickets search. Take a quick look here for Bristol NASCAR Tickets
