Interested in Camping?

The Washington County Fair grounds have 124 grass spots, 108 have full hook-ups (electricity, water & sewer).  Gravel driveways lead to level spots that need little to no blocking for quick & easy set up. The camp ground is available for spring, summer and fall but is shutdown for three weeks in July (county fair, set up and tear down). A bathhouse is close by and a small playground is available on the fairgrounds.  Plenty of space for the kids to ride bikes, play soccer & run around! Our fairgrounds shares a neighborhood with great restaurants, a meat/cheese market, a grocery store, farm store and gas stations. Camping is $25/night.  Just scan the QR Code at your spot and pay right there!  Please check with the grounds  manager about weekly or monthly rates.
