This is a good stop for RVers traveling through. The bathroom and shower facilities are old but clean. It's in the middle of a rural area and very quiet, so there's no traffic noise. I visited in January and there was no trouble getting a spot.

Nice quiet campground at a reasonable cost. Only downside is the RV dump which could use some updating

The fair is still on for this year and mostly the same as it has always been. There are different carnival rides on the midway and some of our favorites are missing. No bumper cars, Tsunami, Gravitron, Swirling Swings, Jumanji, or Merry-Go-Round this year (2021), but there are other rides like the Zipper, the giant slides, Dizzy Dragons, Blackbeard, Mardi Gras (a house of mirrors!), and a Ferris Wheel. There are also the farm animals, live shows, arts and crafts, and flower exhibits. And of course carnival games and vendors. Be sure to bring cash this year. The only ATM is out of order and while most vendors take cards, there are still some cash only sellers. The fair is enforcing a masking policy, but many people just ignore it and go without masks. They ask people to keep 6 feet apart, but let's get real. This is the fair and there are crowds of people of all ages milling about. Even if they are wearing masks, they will take them off to snack on cotton candy and corn dogs while pushing past you in their excitement to get to the next cool thing.

The host is great! Campground price is just right. Bathrooms could use an update but it's usable and they are ADA compliant. Thank you.

This place does not look like much and is VERY casually run. The place was only 25% occupied when we were there and we were told to take any site. There is a plethora of signage near the entrance with some very confusing signs and some that are downright inconstant. There is an office to the left near the second entrance to the park which is along the right side of a several acre parking lot. The sign "office" is not obvious but I suppose the building should be self explanatory. It wasn't for us, we read the signs and looked for a camp host. We did find a grouch that told us to go to the office. The sites have just water and electricity. The dump station is well hidden behind some fairground buildings. Talk to somebody in the office and have them draw you a map so you find it going in the right direction. The dump station is a mess so don't wear good shoes or clothing. One bit of good news, the area is mostly grass. It is not smooth so step carefully but at least it's grass. Alas, this fairgrounds RV Park is just mile from Ferndale and so is very handy. The next closest RV park is east of an unbelievably old narrow two-lane bridge that you must cross to get to Ferndale. If you are squeamish about taking your RV across long narrow bridges, stay at a Park on 101 and drive your toad or tow vehicle into Ferndale (it's only a few miles from 101 into Ferndale). The price was not bad at $28 in July 2016.
