Colusa County Fairgrounds
Overview
The Colusa County Fairgrounds offers a practical and peaceful camping experience in the heart of Northern California's agricultural valley. Unlike high-traffic commercial resorts, this venue provides a spacious and relaxed environment for travelers exploring the Sacramento River region. Whether you are visiting for a specific event or simply passing through the area, the grounds provide a reliable, no-frills base with easy access for various vehicle sizes and styles.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in the charming town of Colusa, the fairgrounds are surrounded by fertile orchards and farmland typical of this productive region. The location is just a short distance from the banks of the Sacramento River, offering a refreshing natural backdrop to the rural landscape. Its position away from major interstate noise ensures a quiet night's sleep while remaining easily accessible from Highway 20, making it a convenient stop for those traveling through the valley.
Amenities & Park Features
The RV facilities at the fairgrounds include sites equipped with water and electrical hookups, supporting both 30 and 50-amp service for modern rigs. Guests have access to an on-site dump station and basic restroom and shower facilities which are maintained for seasonal use. The sites are generally level and offer wide-open spaces, making it a stress-free option for those maneuvering larger motorhomes or fifth-wheels that require significant clearance and extra room to settle in.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to the Colusa-Sacramento River State Recreation Area, which is perfect for fishing, boating, or scenic walks along the water. The region is a key part of the Pacific Flyway, making the area a premier destination for world-class bird watching during the migration seasons. Additionally, the historic downtown area of Colusa features well-preserved architecture and local dining options that offer a glimpse into the town's rich heritage.
Who This Park Is Best For
This location is ideal for budget-conscious RVers who prefer utility and open space over resort-style luxuries. It is a fantastic choice for bird watchers and anglers looking for a functional home base near the river's edge. Because of the expansive, open layout and easy navigation, it is also one of the best spots for big rigs and travelers seeking a quiet, uncomplicated stopover in the Northern Sacramento Valley.

We pulled in at around 10pm and spent the night with our being rousted. Good quick stop and sleep. A little busy road noise. But just so happens, clean porta potties and wash station. A blessing to weary travellers.

We spent the night in the parking lot. No one rousted us! We got up, used the porta potty and headed over to Caffeinated, a local coffee place dntn.

Great parking. Lots of facilities for events and the annual county fair.

Was really excited to go to the fair last night after 20 years but sadly to say it was a huge disappointment. Do better or dont do it at all. The admission at $10 was reasonable. The food was over priced. $13.00 for a slice of pizza! One ticket for a ride is $2.50 and each ride takes 5-6 tickets so your paying $12.50 to $15 to go on ONE ride! That is robbery! Shame on you! The prizes for the games are like the ones you see in the claw machines at a grocery store or Denny's. The cost to play one round at any game is a minimum of $10. Even the prizes in the claw machine games are decent. These look like they could be .50 cents at best but want you to pay $10 to play the game. The overall fair is much smaller. The exhibit halls were mostly empty with a few vendors in one and no vendors/exhibits in another and some flower arrangements in the last one. Its like they didn't have any participants. The county didn't even try to put on a worth while fair but are glad to pocket the money!! The crowds were huge as expected so at least make an effort to impress the people coming to enjoy a good time. I will not return to the fair in Colusa. What a sham/scam! This is embaressing for out little town. I'd give no stars if it was an option so I dont know how there are 4.3 stars? Perhaps paid reviews....
