County-managed Jefferson County Fairgrounds RV Park operates exclusively during fairground events, providing temporary camping with full hookups for RVs up to 50 feet. The facility sits directly on the fairgrounds property in Madras, with gravel sites for RVs positioned in open areas without shade coverage.
Tent campers can set up on the grass areas, which feature approximately eight small trees providing scattered shade spots. The grounds include clean restroom and shower facilities, though J D. notes they are "clean but dated." WiFi access and a dump station add convenience for extended stays. The camp host provides assistance and easy site access according to recent visitors.
Since this campground operates only during events, availability depends entirely on the fairground's schedule. Reservations are available and pets are permitted throughout the property. Tent sites cost $15 with open grass setup, while RV rates vary by event. The location serves as a convenient base for exploring camping near Madras or accessing nearby dispersed camping areas.
Check the Jefferson County Fairgrounds event calendar before planning your stay, as camping is restricted to event periods only.
