Dallas County Fair Campgrounds

We have stayed here three times. The last two times we were greeted, without reservations, by Victoria who found a great 50 amp site for us on grass. Victoria is a real compliment to this campground. This campground is about 5 miles from I-80 with easy access. Well manicured and clean.

NO ONE ANSWERS THE PHONE OR EMAILS. It is run by volunteers no Host or staff. It is not for big Rigs, most sites are small and if you want to open your awning you would hit the neighbors door. We found it impossible to park our 42 ft. Finally gave up and left, no one to request a refund from as No one answers the phone. So we lost $210.00. Be aware that the sites are buddy sites so door to door.

We stayed here for 2 weeks, and let me tell you. We had the most entertaining time at this park. We were in spot #19 - Right next to the bathrooms, and on the end. Most sites have hook ups on the wrong side of the spot. We pulled through and drove on the grass. It would have been impossible for us to back in our trailer with how tight it is when everyone is home and a ton of horse trailers and other trucks parked. When we arrived, the park was nasty. Full of full-timers who had their personal garbage spread throughout. But after a few days. They all packed up and left - it was so odd. However, there is one set of campers who just moved to another spot and like to go to the bathroom for 1 minutes and 10 seconds exactly every 20-35min. It is the strangest thing. So if you're parked in 19, be prepared for a lot of foot traffic. All in all, it was a beautiful park to walk around in. It was cool to see the fairgrounds empty and open. You're able to just walk through and see things. Park is very quiet during the week. Restrooms were "clean". They are old and could use a good paint job to freshen up and or a good pressure wash to get out the spider webs and what not. A little attention can go a long way to make things feel better even if a paint job couldn't happen. The water pressure here is out of this world. We have never been to a park with amazing water pressure.

We camped in site 35. It was supposed to have water and electric but we only had electric. (if it is there it is well hidden). Also it is right by an awesome fun pillow bounce trampoline. The campground kids liked the trampoline so much they kept going way after quiet hour. Also the position of the entrance of the fence for the bounce pad meant the kids had to walk over our power cord in the dark.

This campground was disappointing. They have no grills and the sites are very small. You are basically expected to share a site with the person next to you. They have fire pits and tables, but not enough for every site.

Grumpy old man as the camp host was incredibly rude!! You really should not have someone in that position that clearly can't communicate with the public. Our site we originally reserved online we would never of fit in, both RVs on opposite sides and they had all their chairs and picnic tables where our site was suppose to go. Luckily there was other open spots and we were able to move. Sites very small and close together!
