Red River Valley Fairgrounds

Red River Valley Fairgrounds operates year-round with full hookups for RVs up to 50 feet, though Interstate 94 runs adjacent to the property with freight trains passing through the night. The main campground features concrete pads and full water, electric, and sewer connections, while an overflow area provides electric-only sites when the primary section fills with contract workers who occupy roughly 80 percent of spaces long-term. During major events, the facility can accommodate thousands of vehicles despite the high occupancy rate.

The campground sits along 13th Avenue, providing direct access to camping spots near West Fargo and Fargo shopping centers. Management maintains clean facilities with adequate restroom conditions, though campers should expect ongoing road and rail noise throughout their stay.

A convenient fairgrounds campground serving as a practical overnight stop with level sites and full hookups. Noise from nearby I-94 and trains affects some areas, though experiences vary by location and events.

Big iron show

Big event, we're lucky to find his space open. campground completely full , thousands of pickups and cars. Level sites with cement pad. Some pull through most back in. Amazingly, very quiet at night.

Sleepless Night

This is a convenient stop-over when traveling. However, interstate 94 runs by it and nearby trains run all night with horns blaring. There was also someone setting off fireworks in the area where I was camping, and the debris was hitting my camper. Really annoying. I was parked in the overflow area because the main campground was full(80% are contract workers living there). The main campground has full hookups. The overflow area only electric. The main campground was clean and well maintained. I would rate the bathrooms a B. The manager was very friendly and helpful. There is easy access down 13th avenue to shopping centers in Fargo.

Good place for newbie

I would have giving this place a 3 star as there isn't much to see here except the fair grounds when there is something going on, however this is a good place to do a practice run for newbies. It is only a few miles from Outlet Recreation also which can be handy if you need something from an RV dealer.
