New York State Fair offers inexpensive recreational vehicle campsites
for those who do not require utility services. The Fair has 75 temporary
parking spots for such RVs in the Black parking lot. These locations do
not offer electric, water, or sewer service. They are for RVs only; tent
camping is prohibited on the State Fairgrounds.
These campsites will be available
beginning Wednesday, August 21, the day before the Fair opens. They are
purchased in person upon arrival at the Fairgrounds. Anyone wishing to
rent a spot for a given day or set of days should call the Fair at 315-487-7711
extension 1474 to check the availability of these non-utility spaces. Purchases
can only be made with cash or a credit card. Checks are not accepted.
Sites can be rented for $15
per night. Site rental does not include admission to the Fair, which is
$10 per person at the gate or $6 per person when purchased in advance of
opening day. Children 12 or under are free.
No-service RV camping will
not be offered on the Fair�s infield this year. Full-service RV camping
is available in the infield for $450 for all 12 days of the Fair.
Details on how to purchase
daily camping, rules for check-in and check-out, and a list of campgrounds

horse and livestock shows.
