RVING AT THE EVENT
Although RV camping is available at the fairgrounds during the off-season (Aug.-June), they have very limited spaces available during the fair itself. You can call 302-398-3269 ext. 203 to inquire about camping during the fair.
Fortunately, there are plenty of other campgrounds nearby as well. You can enjoy a full day at the fair and then return to a comfy bed and your favorite food, right in an RV nearby. Renting an RV with RVshare means even if you don’t own an RV, you can enjoy the ease of being home with only a very short drive.
