Rooks County Fairgrounds
Overview
The Rooks County Fairgrounds in Stockton, Kansas, offers a practical and budget-friendly camping option for travelers exploring the rolling hills of North Central Kansas. Known primarily as the home of the Kansas Biggest Rodeo, the fairgrounds provide a reliable stopover for RVers during the off-season or those visiting for specific community events. It provides an authentic small-town Kansas atmosphere that is both welcoming and spacious, making it a functional choice for those passing through the Solomon Valley.
Location & Surroundings
Situated on the western edge of Stockton, the fairgrounds are easily accessible from Highway 24 and Highway 183. The surrounding area features scenic rural landscapes and is characterized by the quiet, slow-paced lifestyle of Rooks County. Its position allows for easy navigation for larger motorhomes, providing a peaceful retreat that feels far removed from the hustle of major interstate corridors while remaining close to local services, fueling stations, and grocery needs.
Amenities & Park Features
The RV facilities at the fairgrounds focus on the essentials for a comfortable and convenient stay. Visitors can expect sites equipped with electrical hookups and water access, with several spots designed to accommodate larger rigs and tow vehicles. A convenient on-site dump station is available for guests to maintain their tanks before hitting the road. While the park maintains a rustic, functional feel rather than a resort vibe, the open layout ensures that travelers have plenty of room to maneuver and set up.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do

This park offers exceptional opportunities for fishing, boating, and wildlife viewing around the reservoir. In the town of Stockton, visitors can enjoy local dining, explore the historic architecture, or visit the Rooks County Historical Museum to learn about the pioneer heritage of the region. The area is also highly regarded for its upland bird hunting and seasonal outdoor recreational activities.
Who This Park Is Best For

We’ve made the drive from Phoenix to Stockton Kansas a few times for their flat track motorcycle races at the fairgrounds. Nice facility and friendly people. We’re going back again this year.

I've grown up for 38 yrs around this Fair. It's had its ups and downs, but Fairboard has always done their best to bring in enjoyable things for the community. Everyone looks forward to the week of the fair!

I've shown livestock at the fair forever and I've went to this fair ever since I was born and I will continue to go for the rest of my life, this is one of if not the best fair in kansas and to anyone who sees this I strongly recommend that you go. From the fair rides to the the animals and the races its overall an amazing county fair that has lasted for over a century and a half and I'm sure it will continue to go on for another century and a half as well.
