Tips for RVers attending the Wisconsin State Fair: • If you are staying at the fairgrounds, fully stock your RV with food and beverages before you arrive to avoid the hassle of leaving and reentering the campground. Those new to RVing can check out our guide for other packing tips. • Pets are not permitted at the fair itself. The campgrounds at the fairgrounds and several others in the area are pet-friendly, but you will have to make arrangements for when you are away. Ask your campground host about pet sitters or local doggie daycare options. • Wisconsin weather in early August is typically warm and humid, with daytime temperatures averaging in the low 80s and occasional afternoon thunderstorms. Evenings are cooler, dropping into the 60s. Be sure to bring comfortable, breathable clothing and sturdy footwear, as you'll be walking a lot throughout the fairgrounds. It's also a good idea to have a light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings, a hat and sunglasses for sun protection, and rain gear in case of unexpected showers.
