Island Park Campground

With sites positioned directly across from the Dallas County Fairgrounds, Island Park Campground provides budget-friendly camping along the Raccoon River. Campers access fishing spots right from the campground, with the river running adjacent to the property. The location stays quiet outside of fair week, according to recent visitors who found the rates reasonable for short stays. Road access appears straightforward, though campers should confirm availability since the campground operates with limited infrastructure. For regional exploration, campgrounds near Dallas Center offer additional options within the area. Book ahead during Dallas County Fair events when demand peaks.

Nice NO FRILLS camp across the street from fair grounds

This is a nice quit camp ground right across the street from the Dallas County Fairgrounds. Only stayed 3 nights and not on fair week but was nice, quiet, and inexpensive. It’s right on the river and lots of fishing.
