Boundary County Fairgrounds

This is a great place for a quick stop to rest or just an overnight. It’s not really a place for camping. This area is the town park and the county fairgrounds… there are no camping signs posted along the fence line, but there is plenty of parking lot space to not block the parking spots by the fencing. There are porta-potties available for use. Down by the tennis courts there is an RV dump station and water available. We were able to get about 50 gallons of potable water for 25 cents!

Please do your due diligence in this area. This is the ONLY park for the whole county as well as the parks and recreation (soccer, baseball, tennis, etc). Being mindful to local families by not parking sideways along the fence line and do not block the business in the log cabin. I think train noise is the least of your worries as the summer this area is where ALL of the events take place. This is not an area where locals want free camping as it has caused lots of issues. Let me say it again, there are many campsites in the area including North Haven Campground up the road ($35 a night for full hookups) that welcome you. This area does not welcome you. Please stay away.

Pulled in for the night and we were impressed with the wide parking area and facilities, however, a train engine was going back and forth on the tracks at 1:00 am, then idling with air pressure releases for about an hour waiting for another train to pass. It was so loud it vibrated the trailer. When the other train finally came, they must have been crossing the road back because it blew its whistle many times right beside us. We parked close to the road out of the way, but it was about 50’ from the tracks, so it kept us up all night. We don’t mind the sound of trains, but this was ridiculous!

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!
