Lake County Fairgrounds

Lake County Fairgrounds operates as a no-frills overnight stop on gravel parking areas without trees or defined site boundaries. The campground sits on fairgrounds property in Lakeview, Oregon, accommodating RVs up to 55 feet with water and electric hookups available for $25 per night, while dry camping costs $15.

The gravel surface creates an uneven parking situation that requires leveling blocks, and the open layout offers little privacy between rigs. "Bathrooms were actually very nice and clean," notes Joseph, who also found the shower facilities well-maintained with good water pressure. Showers cost $3 and operate on quarters only, though a change machine provides convenience near the restroom building. A dump station serves campers for $5, and the facility includes a designated dog exercise area.

Wind exposure can create noisy conditions across the open parking lot, particularly during weather systems moving through the high desert region. The campground provides basic utilities and clean facilities but lacks the amenities and atmosphere of traditional RV parks. For travelers needing additional options, there are campsites around Lakeview within the broader area.

Book between April 15 and November 1 when the facility operates, and bring quarters for the shower system.

A basic fairgrounds offering good value for overnight stops with clean facilities and affordable rates. Sites are uneven gravel lots without trees, making it suitable for travelers needing simple hookups rather than a scenic camping experience.

1st night of our road trip

There really isn't anything here besides the fairgrounds. We were on our first leg of our cross country road trip, and this was a great place just to park and spend the night, up and out in the morning. The gravel parking lot is very uneven, so prepare accordingly. $15/night for dry camp. They have a great area for exercising your dogs, but beware, it is obvious that a lot of dog owners do not pick up after their dogs.

Convenient but stark

A good choice if all you want is a place to park for the night. $15 for dry camping, $20 for electric, $25 for water. Free WiFi $5 Dump station Good for dry weather, the parking lot will probably be muddy if wet.

For us, this was a nice overnight stop to beat the heat!

Although we had new solar, it was too hot to depend on that alone for the night, so my wife found this location. It was not a bad night's stay.

There are a few sites, all on dirt/gravel slots, no trees in the parking area. Nearest to the shower-bath house are double sites, a plug, 30-amp power and water for each side of the power box, and out towards the street are more like single sites, my wife was told those sites are for bigger rigs. The RV parking all looked like relatively new installations for the water and power.

Full hook up is water and electric with a dump station on site, no at site dumping available, for $25.00.

There is a pay station located at the shower-bath building with pay envelopes to fill out and drop in a lock box.

Bathrooms were actually very nice and clean. One side is the two bathrooms the other side two shower rooms.

The showers cost $3 or 5 dollars IN QUARTERS ONLY, and there is a change machine by the bathrooms if needed. As we were in our small Micro-Minnie Winnebago we opted to try the shower room. My wife and I paid the $3 for both of us and used the shower at the same time. Good water pressure, clean room, warm water.

We didn't need to dump, but it wasn't said well on any signage we saw, and we believed paying for full hook up was also to mean dumping was paid for. It costs $5.00 to dump if you don't pay for full or just need to stop and dump.

As there were no directions we were unsure how exactly you were supposed to park to be in "your site" so we just kinda went with it and parked to be able to stay connected to our truck without the truck sticking out too far in the driving lanes in case others came in to stay. There were only three RVs at the location that night, including ours, so it wasn't crowded.

It seemed like the back of the RV was supposed to be at the power water connection, but we never did find out for sure.

Since this visit was during the heatwave of July 2022, it was VERY nice to have power for the night, and we had our rig A/C on all night long.

It was a very quiet night, and if we were in in the region again, as long as the fair isn't going, we wouldn't have any problem staying there again. Overall a nice place, and we saved a lot of money from staying at a regular RV park. Nothing fancy but not bad either in our opinion.

Site6, we think, maybe 7?
