Camping Guests should follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless, odorless gas from poisoning them and their family:

• Do not use portable heaters or lanterns while sleeping in enclosed areas such as tents, campers, and other vehicles. This is especially important at high altitudes, where the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning is increased.
• Vent RV generators and heater system exhaust away from or above their unit and their neighbors’ sites.
• Know the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning: headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, and confusion. Carbon monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in loss of consciousness and death.
• Seek medical attention if you or a member of your family develop cold or flu-like symptoms while camping. Carbon monoxide poisoning, which can easily be mistaken for a cold or flu, is often detected too late.
• Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to a mother and child during pregnancy, infants, the elderly, smokers, and people with blood or circulatory system problems, such as anemia, or heart disease.

Generally speaking, once infield camping guests enter the property through RV registration and Gate #1 they cannot leave and re-enter the Pocono Raceway property unless approved by a member of Raceway management. To allow guests to leave and re-enter, Pocono Raceway provides an opportunity to purchase a Dash Pass.
