2026 F-Class Nationals Info

[gmr4]

I am scoping out the 2026 F Class Nationals.. how long is the drive (24 hours) etc and trying to estimate hotel costs for me and my buddies. Where do people stay near Ben Avery? It appears that it can be expensive. There are 4-5 of us going to make the trip. Any hotel information or areas to look much appreciated.. other info would be awesome. Thanks

Is there a certain area recommended.

Is there a certain area recommended.

Anthem or Cave Creek is one of the most convenient, otherwise you’ll just have to search via the map for the northern part of Phoenix. North of 101 hwy.

There’s a lot of people stay at the Hampton at Anthem. They give a Ben Avery discount that you get with calling. However, it still adds up quickly. If you have a group, it’s definitely cheaper to rent a house.

Deer Valley had a lot of VRBO's at great prices about 5-6 years back. If deals still exists in that area, it is convenient to the range.

I was tracking the western game dates. Same as last year dates not excited about that it was cooking ass hot last year. So this might be an easy decision .
