RVING AT THE EVENT

Although RV camping is available at the fairgrounds during the off-season (Aug.-June), they have very limited spaces available during the fair itself. You can call 302-398-3269 ext. 203 to inquire about camping during the fair. 

Fortunately, there are plenty of other campgrounds nearby as well. You can enjoy a full day at the fair and then return to a comfy bed and your favorite food, right in an RV nearby. Renting an RV with RVshare means even if you don’t own an RV, you can enjoy the ease of being home with only a very short drive. 

Here are a few other places to camp:

• G&R Campground - has shaded and open sites, and sites that offer water, electric and sewer, just water and electric, or primitive sites with no utilities. They also have a pool, rec hall, play area, picnic area with a pavilion, horseshoe pits, hot showers, and a general store. 

• Homestead Campground - offers campsites with electric, water, and sewer along with more primitive sites that only offer water and electric. They have 30 and 50-amp service. They are pet-friendly and also have two Olympic--sized pools, a kids’ splash pad, horseshoe pits, and a game room. 

• Treasure Beach RV Park & Campground - has water, electric, sewer, and cable TV hookups. There are hot showers and a dump station. The campground is on the shores of Assawoman Bay.
