Reminder

If you pay for and reserve a campsite and it goes unused during the Fair you will not be grandfathered in for the following year.

General Rules

Each person may purchase only one campsite. Reservations will be canceled and payment refunded if it is determined that an individual has purchased more than one campsite.
Each campsite includes four (4) season passes, valid for the entire week of the Fair. These passes are valid for children, adults, and exhibitors.
If more than four (4) people are staying at a campsite, a pass must be purchased for each additional person. Entrance passes are required for anyone over the age of 7 staying at the campsite.
All trailers must have at least one authorized adult present overnight. If complaints are received for a campsite where no adult is present, those campers will be required to leave and will forfeit their campsite for the following year.
Once all campsites are reserved, Fairgrounds staff will create a waiting list on a first-come, first-served basis. If a reserved and paid campsite is released prior to the Fair, it will be offered to the next person on the waiting list.
No refunds will be issued for campers who cancel their reservation.
Campers who reserve and pay for a campsite that goes unused during the Fair will not be grandfathered in for the following year.
Any campsites that are open and unattended after camper check-in concludes are not available for resale under any circumstances.
