Nevada County Fairgrounds RV Park, Grass Valley, CA

To be fair, I have only attended music festivals there. Beautiful setting for live music. The camping area is clean and level until you get into the trees but that is to be expected. All in all a nice venue. Always curious why the local organizations that have permanent booths don't try to open for festivals though.

I went to the Celtic Festival yesterday and had a great time. The setting of this fairground is unique because it feels an areas like you're in a forest. And yet the venue is great for having a stage with band that you can hear all around the grounds. It's just a great vibe.

I love Nevada County Fairgrounds. It's the most gorgeous fairgrounds in the USA 🇺🇸.  We have many wonderful events like the Drafthorse Classic , our legendary Fair, many music festivals and the Celtic Fair. Plenty of clean bathrooms.
Everything is mostly handicapp accessible with only a few areas that could use improvements.

Beautiful well kept fair grounds, lots of shade available under towering pines. Well maintained walking paths all over the park. Some paths are lined with beautiful flower beds bursting with bright yellow marigolds.  all buildings are painted nicely. The arena has a very nice grandstand that offers bench seating with backrests.. restrooms are always close by and easy to find.

Best fairgrounds and RV park hands down. Always enjoy our week there. Staff are wonderful. Grounds are well maintained. Very peaceful with the pond.

This is the most beautiful fairgrounds I have ever been to. There is shade everywhere. Tall trees, the weather was perfect and mild. Plenty to do and see. The food options were amazing. Something for everyone and the lines were not long for food. I plan to come back next year!

Beautiful setting for a county fair!  Lots of shade, grass, food booths and communityspirit.  What's lacking?  Working drinking fountains~  the one watering station isn't enough.

We attended the KVMR Celtic Festival and had a great time

Ponderosa studded shaded walkways, make this fairgrounds one of our favorite!
Whether you’re there for the fair, to walk your dog around the miles of paved pathways, enjoying a run through the sprinklers on the acres of flat grass areas with the kids, bringing your toddler to the tall pines nursery school or just appreciating this northern California gem you will be pleasantly surprised!

When traveling with tent or RV don’t forget about the Nevada county fairgrounds RV Park nestled right next-door complete with a pond for fishing and plenty of ducks and geese wildlife galore!

Parking is free and very spacious grounds allows for a great walk on a sunny day amongst the ponderosas.

We stayed at the Nevada County Fairgrounds RV campground for a couple days when there were no events on the property. The level gravel space gave enough room for our 5th wheel, tow vehicle, and any tables, chairs, etc. we could have wanted. There's a nice pond next to the camping area with a gravel path around it that we walked the dogs around. A few campers and community members were fishing and walking dogs too. There is a small flock of geese on site that weren't a problem, though they did leave "treats" around that dogs seemed drawn to... We had full hookups with a choice of 50, 30, or 20 Amp plugs, good water and an easy access sewer connection. We did not go into the bathrooms since we had full hookups. The staff who answered the phone and checked us in were very friendly. We would definitely stay here again!

It was great to be back at a fair. I love Grass Valley. But it sure does get hot.

My family liked the moto cross. Good food. People are having a great time 👍
