Situated on 160 beautifully wooded acres, the Fair’s Campgrounds boast more than 1800 campsites with water and electricity, including nearly 600 sites with sewers. There are several hundred more without utilities, plus two large bathouses with showers, toilets and sinks, security, and more than 20 dumping stations. A small grocery store and police station complete the “temporary town.” Thousands of Fairgoers descend on the Campgrounds for the 11-day Fair; some sites have been occupied by the same families for over 50 years.
