RV Rentals at Nevada State Fair

ACTIVITIES & ENTERTAINMENT

One of the big draws of the event is the Home and Garden Show, which takes place in the Pavilion at Mills Park. There, exhibitors bring their best products and ideas to transform the area into one big home improvement site. Visitors will enjoy all manner of home and garden solution exhibits that impart great ideas regarding closet organization, solar panel installations, kitchen remodeling projects, wall treatments, patios and sunrooms, and a whole lot more.  Plenty of food and beverages will be available at the fair, so bring a big appetite. If you love all things Americana, then you'll enjoy the eats that the various vendors will cook up. Barbecue dishes will scent the air of the fair thanks to the many vendors using grills, pits, and smokers for their meats. Deep-fried everything is also on the menu from Oreo burgers and grilled cheese sandwiches to zucchini. There are also lots of vegetarian dishes, street food, and options from well-known Reno food trucks. 

Take part in rides and games at the Brass Ring Amusements Midway of Fun carnival. Note that some rides have minimum height requirements, and there are also no refunds.

RVING AT THE EVENT

There's no RV camping or parking directly at the event. However, there are RV campground options near Carson City as well as the Lake Tahoe and Reno areas.

The Silver City RV Resort is in Minden, about 15 miles south of Carson City. Here, you'll have over 200 RV sites to choose from, and there are both back-in and pull-through spots. The campground has free Wi-Fi and internet cable, a 1,500-square-foot gym, a large clubhouse and activity room, and laundry.

In Reno is the Shamrock RV Park. This campground has a number of discount options like Good Sam and AAA. Shamrock has 30- and 50-amp sites, cell reception, showers, and a pool.

While you're in this part of the Silver State, check out sections of Scenic U.S. Highway 395. Parts of it run through Nevada down to Lake Tahoe, straddling the state line with California. RVshare's guide to RV camping in Nevada has a wealth of information on various attractions, trails, and historical sites found in this fascinating state.

WHERE TO STAY

Carson City has a number of affordable lodging options. One place just east of Mills Park is the Gold Dust West. Amenities include a lounge and bar, internet access, a 24-hour casino, and free self-parking.

Check out the Hardman House Inn & Suites, just west of Mills Park. There's free RV parking on-site, and amenities include a continental breakfast, free Wi-Fi, a picnic area, and a 24-hour front desk.

HOW TO GET THERE

U.S. Highway 50 is the main route cutting through the center of Carson City, coming from the east. If you're arriving on Route 50 from the east, you'll get taken straight to Mills Park after the highway crosses Interstate 580 and turns into E. Williams Street. 

If you're coming in on Route 50 from the west at the intersection with U.S. Highway 395, then just remain on it eastward as it will take you right to the fairgrounds. 

If you're coming in from the north, such as from Reno, simply get on Interstate 580, take Exit 39, and head west on East Williams Street.

Note that Carson City is about a seven-hour drive of over 400 miles from Las Vegas. It's a long, winding trip using mostly U.S. Route 95; there are no interstates connecting Las Vegas and Carson City.

PARKING

There's free general public parking at the Mills Park lot. Free parking is also available at Carson High School, just across N. Saliman Road from Mills Park.

TICKETS & PRICING

Since the Nevada State Fair is free, there's no need to purchase tickets. There is a cost for food and drinks as well as for the carnival rides.

WRAP UP
