What a fun way to spend a family vacation!  With so much to do and see, there will surely be something for everyone to enjoy!

Many state fairs offer on-site RV camping.  Please be sure to check the event's website for information.  Otherwise, please check our camping reservation portal for area camping information.

We hope you’ll plan at least one State Fair visit as you travel the nation in an El Monte RV. Take a spin on a Ferris wheel and join the excitement of blue ribbon winners. Watch stock car racing, horse shows and livestock judging. Indulge in regional foods, walk the midway under the stars, and celebrate the very best each State has to offer. State Fairs are a fantastic way to learn what makes every State in the Union great.

To help prepare for your State Fair RV trip, we’ve put together some State Fair trivia to ponder:
