Boundary County Fairgrounds

It’s so nice of them to let travelers like myself stay for the night. Yeah it’s a parking lot in the county fair grounds but it’s well maintained. Like others said before the portable bathroom was the cleanest I’ve ever seen. It’s nice to be near supplies for outdoor adventures too. Highly recommend for a night.

The thought of camping in a fair parking lot was not interesting. I did a drive by and was so impressed! The parking is next to a grassy park. The place is well maintained. Several ports potties were clean and available. There’s potable water next to the tennis courts. Local police drive through and I felt safe. Lots of locals use the park. Local TV channels available along with strong Verizon signal. Perfect for an overnight stay!

Great spot close to town for overnight parking stays. Has portapotties but no water or electric. Fairgrounds allows 72 hrs parking limit.

Big parking lot, park with tables, trash cans etc. and it’s 72 hour parking. It is at the fairgrounds so you’d want to be mindful of events (we happened to stay on the night of the rodeo) which created a very busy parking lot. But we were able to see it from the grass field! Once it was over, all the cars left and it was just us and a couple others in the morning. We did have some train noise as well as someone who wanted to do some burnouts near us at 10pm, but otherwise it was great!

This place was a lifesaver in a busy summer when we found ourselves in the area with no reservations and full campgrounds everywhere. The county allows up to 72 hours of parking in this recreation complex. Just be aware the facility is heavily used and park with politeness in mind. We pulled in on a hot summer afternoon and a few kids were at the playground. Not being county Fair time I assumed nobody else, except maybe a stray RVer who found themselves way up here despite the Canadian border being closed, would be there. So, I pulled my class B van and tow car into the lot long-ways next to the fence at the soccer field so we could look out at grass rather than gravel. Wrong thing to do. After we got everything unpacked and set up 4:30 rolls around and cars start to show up. A few tennis players and skateboarders at first. Then more playground kids. I start thinking I'm parked obnoxiously when about 100 cars show up and start to block me in. I just barely get everything out away and move to the back of the lot when the place is overrun with soccer mom's and little league players. We stopped counting at 100 cars, but there must have been 150 at least and hundreds of people (no masks, no distancing). If I hadn't gotten moved I would have been terribly embarrassed to be taking up many car spaces - right where the mom's needed to park - in an RV with out if state tags. So, just keep in mind that even if it doesn't look busy this place really gets used and can fill up in minutes. We don't want them to ban us so park accordingly. There are water spigots and trash cans available, as well as a dump station. Very loud trains, which we love but others hate, come by every 2 hours or so.
