CAMPER SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Polk County Fairgrounds, near Rickreall, Oregon, is a straightforward spot for those looking to park their RV or pitch a tent while visiting the area. It’s not fancy, but it’s got the basics covered, making it a practical choice for travelers needing a place to stay.

Location + Affordability

Huge gravel lot with RV hookups, no sewer connection but there is an on-site dump station so that’s covered.

Very good stop

Stayed 3 nights. Worked out great for our purpose of just visiting family in Dallas. $25 per night a good nightly rate. So much better than those CGs next to highways and RRs

That’ll do!

We stayed here for seven nights and we do it again! Electricity 30 amp and water at the post. Dump station nearby. We were visiting relatives in this area, so really only need a safe place to park the rig. This worked out fine. I noticed in the office that they have four cameras covering the entire fairgrounds parking lot. In general there is no tree coverage, but we were assigned to spot F4, Which had a pretty big maple tree that we were able to park the toad under. There were only four other bags in the lot so nice and roomy. We had a sense of safety the whole time we were here. One drawback was the farm next-door. We could smell common or no one then, but not too bad. And once we were in the rig, no smell at all.

A pretty good deal at $25 a night.
