Jerome County Fairgrounds

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Paved parking lot camping in the middle of Jerome, Idaho, this county fairgrounds setup trades scenery for convenience. Sites are open and exposed with no shade, but the pavement means level, easy pull-through access for big rigs and longer trailers. Water and 30-amp electrical hookups are available at many sites, and the cost runs $20 per night. Payment is handled at the fairgrounds office during staffed hours, which means late arrivals should plan carefully: at least one reviewer arrived after closing and found the gate locked.

No on-site restrooms are available. A convenience store is within walking distance, and a gas station a block away covers bathroom needs. Showers are not included in the nightly rate. Reviewers consistently describe the grounds as well-maintained and clean, and the office staff as approachable. The grounds sit in a commercial district, so the setting is urban rather than rural.

The fairgrounds functions best as a short-term base rather than a destination in itself. Shoshone Falls and Twin Falls are within day-trip range, and Tara B. notes "a killer sunset from the bleachers" as an unexpected perk. Checking the fairgrounds event calendar before booking is worth the effort, as events can fill the parking lot and limit site availability. Nearby, Elk Ridge RV Park provides an alternative if the fairgrounds are booked out. Campers who want a no-frills overnight stop with hookups and easy highway access will find this setup fits the bill.

Closed gate

We tried to stay at this place but we arrived at 11 pm and there was a closed gate. We had to turn around. Quite a commercial district as well

Barebones but adequate

This is a county fairgrounds the camping is simply in the parking lot with electrical and water hook ups for many sites.You will want to check the calendar of events to evaluate availability. For example: the first night we were here we were lucky to get a site because there was an event and the parking lot was nearly full. This makes a great one night stop or homebase for sightseeing in the area.

Just what I needed...

If you are looking for peace and quiet and clean this is the place. None of the fancy amenities, but impeccably kept grounds. My dog loved the grass, he was rolling in it and running through sprinklers on hot evening. Convince store within walking distance. And yes a great sunset from the bleachers!

Perfect overnight stop

Clean and quiet. All paved. Water and electrical hook ups. Pull through spots. Such a great place to stop and a killer sunset from the bleachers.
