Southwest Washington Fairgrounds Park

Rules

Maximum Length of Stay

We have a maximum stay of 10 nights within a 30 day period

Slide Outs

DURING FAIR: We know that slide outs are becoming a standard feature on RV's. However, in order to accommodate the large number of RV's camping during the week of fair, due to space constraints you may not be able to utilize your slide out. As an alternative, you may purchase an additional space under the same name. If you and a friend would both like to use slide outs, you can purchase one additional space in-between the two of you to allow for the extra room for slide outs. Please make sure that all spaces purchased are under the same name.

Drug Use

Illegal Drugs are not allowed on the property.

Noise Restrictions

Please be considerate of your neighbors and keep noise to a minimum.

Gas Portable Fire Pits Only

Please note, gas fire pits only are permitted. During fair, fires of any kind are prohibited.

Quiet Hours

Thoroughly enjoy yourself but we ask that you observe our quiet hours between 10pm and 7am.

Electrical Cords

No electrical cords will be allowed beyond campsite.

No Dump Station on Grounds

Although we do not have a Dump Station on the grounds, there are several nearby rest areas with dump stations. Please contact Goebel's Septic Service for dumping arrangements at (360)-736-2167.

Pet Policy

Four legged friends are an important part of your lives, and we know they love to stretch out those legs. We do ask that your pet be leashed, kenneled, or contained within your campsite. Please clean up after your pet.

Overpriced, had to set up right next to a very active train track, like a station track 24hrs 3 trains an hour 😳. But being the only one there made me want to stay. Office didn’t know where to place me. The new area as they recommended didn’t have water or power. So after they closed I had to fend for myself in finding a spot and resulted in BA11 - less than 25 feet from the tracks 🙄🤦‍♀️. Recommendations having the site marked as they stated, if put in a different location make sure the hookups work as paid for. I hope they figure this out before next time.

Showers weren't hot, but they weren't cold, either. Tepid water was nice on a hot day, anyway. If there's a way to get hot water, instructions in the shower room would be most welcomed! Bathrooms were clean and heated, and although no camping spots were marked with numbers as our reservation promised, it was still easy to car camp. Will definitely use this spot again next year when we vend at the Centralia Fantasy Festival again.

I had read some of the reviews going back about a year. I was a bit concerned but I checked with the trial secretary and she said it was a decent place to stay for the dogshow. Here are my thoughts- 1. This is a county property, counties don't have tons of money. For a county facility, it was quite nice. 2. It seemed that the power and water setups in Oak Grove are newer, we had no issues with either. 3. Negative on the spaces, is that they are quite tight together. However the Oak Grove area was pretty empty, so we only had a couple of folks at the other end. 4. Not the fault of the property, but we did have a strange man and unleashed dog walk through our camp. We told him to leave or we would call police and he moved on. Just something to be aware of, campground is accessible from the street. 5. Someone complained about the train. We had no issues with the train noise. Barely noticed it. 6. Maybe I am just more mellow, but we enjoyed our time there, maybe when the facility is busier the experience is different. On the flip side, you can look online and see what's happening to decide if you want to stay there. 7.I would stay here again.

When we arrived, the office was closed. Multiple trailers were parked in reserved spots for my group. I believe the gentleman’s name was BJ who came to the rescue and helped solve majority of the problems. having camp spots marked with reserved and peoples names might be helpful in the future a big thank you to BJ for helping out. He also was able to find splitters for the water. One water source for two campsites will not work.. also, campsite seven is having issues with power.

Many sites not level. One 50 amp power plug for four RV's (one leg of the plug dead so power not useable), The fair grounds did refund me $10 because of the problems.

The Trains kept me up all night.. most of them didn’t honk but a few did. Maybe they saw the RVs sitting there and thought it would be funny. Either way 1/10 for train tracks being less than 100 yards away.

Great Fairgrounds RV parking with electric and water. Close to events. Fair pricing and easy reservations. Train provides some white noise 😊

The fair grounds spot was great. We felt safe and even with freezing weather, they turned the water on during the day so we could fill our water tank. The only small issue was we were woken up at 7 AM Monday morning by the police pounding on our door. Turns our they were setting up an obstacle course for their officer's to text their driving and my car was in the way😁.

I was upset how far away i was from the show building. I asked to move so I can use my handicapped scooter. The fairgrounds found me another place closer in the carnival lot.

My event scheduled at this fairgrounds moved to another state. I attempted to contact them to cancel and get a refund, but received no response. Another time, the office overbooked spots and I was moved to an overgrown field. Never again.

Way to expensive for what you get! Fair manager connie says we cant use air conditioner. You have to mow the area yourself before taking camper there. You could camp at a resort with full amenities any where in the US for cheaper than swwf.

The prices have gone up but no updates to the sites have been done. The sites are still the same size as they were back in the 80's & 90's when trailers had no tip outs. The fair office just tells you that if you have tip outs you have to reserve two spots, even though prices have gone up and they do not give any type of discount for having to reserve two sites so you can use your tip outs. The power is only 110 so you are constantly popping breakers and unable to run anything if you are running your AC at the same time. In addition they do not offer any ADA campsites with power and water. The least they could do is add some ADA sites, even if just to the infield area for those of us who need ADA so we have a chance at getting a site closer up rather then leaving them open for vendors only, update the size of the sites to accommodate trailers with tip outs, and update the power hookups. With the price increase for sites this is the least they could do to make the price worth it.

Campground grass area was cut and the grass was not picked up. Area is rough and you need more electrical and water in the Oak Grove camping area.

Would be nice to have a garbage barrel to put the doggy poop bags in and maybe a restroom for the two legged people.
