There are multiple options for attending the Ballon Fiesta. My choice is the Presidential Campground but it’s about $250/night. W/E and sewer service available.
Most of the other options are dry camping but water and sewer trucks are available everyday for a price. I don’t think you need a tour group as you close enough to all the action that you can walk to the balloon field or watch then fly over your head from your RV. The events take place from dawn to early afternoon and are then over for the day. There are some nights with balloon glows as well as weekend nights with fireworks. I suppose if a tour group has some facillities to get you to and from your RV and provided special access to those kind of events that might be worthwhile. Some folks just stay at local campgrounds (book NOW if you still can) and commute to the grounds. Plan on an extended commute in as the traffic is TERRIBLE and I believe the parking is fairly expensive.
We plan to go in 2023 as there will also be a “nearly” total eclipse of the Sun during the event.

Last time I was there was the year before Covid hit, You have to stay on site, traffic is a standstill getting in and out.
