The RV Park at the Pima County Fairgrounds

Teresa Marrufo

This year's Thurber Hall was a little skimpy in new or interesting things. They really didn't need two aggressive Verizon people, scooter vendors or the same imported stuff we see at the gem show. Pima & Pueblo Halls didn't disappoint. A shout out to Haury's locally made BBQ sauce for winning 1st & second place. BTW you can find this delicious BBQ sauce at Rustic Roots Farmers Market 9848 E Old Vail Rd in Tucson.

We had such a good time there. They had some problems with Electric and water at times but cleared it up immediately. Nice simple sites. Little shade. Clean and good security. Easy to set sites. Flat, gravel, easy to reach outlets. Nice people working there.

The park was easy to find. It is located south of Tucson just off of I 10. There is pavement all the way. Signage is adequate. Check in was efficient and friendly and we were escorted to our site.. The rules are fairly basic. The interior roads are graveled and in good condition Our site, 162, was a back in that was just long enough for our Coach with our towed beside. Services (30 amp, water and sewer only) were to the left side. Distancing is poor for a rural park. Had it been busy we would have been slide to awning and tail to tail. There was NO table or fire pit. Our site was flat and even. Overall the park was just a gravel parking lot but it fit our needs for an overnight space. There is NO park included wifi or cable TV. We did not find any OTA channels. Satellite would not be difficult. There are no restaurants or stores within easy walking distance but just a short drive away you can find food, shopping and convenience stores. We found this park to be an okay overnighter. We paid $40.50 per night and we feel we received fair value. We will be back if in the area again.

They only had 50 amp service available when we got to the RV campground at Pima County Fair Grounds, they did offer to sell us a 30 amp converter but we choose to dry camp for $30 in a dirt lot that was very dusty. The only saving grace is that on our evening walk around we got to enjoy a couple of beautiful owls.

This is a nice place to stay especially if you find it difficult to get a reservation in southern AZ in the winter. They have daily and weekly rates and have Good Sam and Escapees discounts. We paid $30/ night for full hookups with our Escapees discount. The Fairgrounds does not take reservations, although there are events that may limit camping options. Call ahead to be sure they can accomodate you. There's not much atmosphere in the actual camping areas, which is mostly gravel, but there are some really nice areas with grass and trees spread throughtout the grounds. The fairgrounds are pretty extensive and there is a nice exercise trail, with signs identifying the local flora, that goes around part of the perimeter. They have also added a paved trail that parallels the entrance road. There are two laundry facilities with a total of five washers and eight driers. Each machine is $1.50, which is pretty reasonable for laundry. You just need to time your washing around others. There is a cantina, which is only open for special occasions, when they may also have additional food trucks. Don't expect these amenities all the time, but it's fun when a special event brings them in. In addition to having lots of walking space, there are bike trails easily accessible. The office has a map of them available. It's reasonably close to Saguaro National Park on the east side and shopping is close across the interstate. We've stayed here three times and would stay again.

Friendly and helpful staff. There were 2 of us traveling together. They worked and worked to get us sites together. Lots of gathered stickers though. Good price.

My father in law frequents this RV lark during our hunts. The location is convenient to freeway and has a bar/restaurant available as well as a quick store for propane and smaller necessities. The staff is always nice and friendly no matter time of day! Will keep using this park for hunting!

Very friendly staff. Reasonable rates. When a big event occurs n the back camping area is closed, it limits access to grassy areas to walk. Also - no recycling? There are mammoth amounts of garbage but no recycling. They need to come into the current century.

We stayed here 2 years ago and were gently pushed back home due to Covid. Park is the same, maybe the staff are a little nicer, showers are still hot, but poorly equipped (shelf, hooks, bench) and need better quality shower curtains and rings. 4H lot is full of sand burrs, take notice

The people running it are all fantastic. Its not a full time place. They move you around as events come and go. It is a fairground after all. In March everyone has to leave for 6 to 8 weeks for big events. They tell you all of this up front, so no surprise. $30 a night or $180 a week. No monthly rate. When it gets full it's really tight. I mean really tight. MOST people are quiet and decent in my experience. Goat heads everywhere. Watch your dogs paws and bike tires ... 6 flats in 3 weeks. We had the better tires with puncture guards too. I'd go back when it's less busy for sure.
