Buffalo County Fairgrounds

Free if not using electricity, with no time limit. In the northern part of town, just south of the junction of Avenue “N” and 39th St. There is plenty of room for camping, either on gravel or on grass; trees scattered around; easy to get level and good for all sized rigs. We parked at (N40.71014, W99.06435). Somewhat noisy because of traffic on neighboring roads, but very pleasant. There is a dump near the entrance to the fairgrounds. Stayed 2 nights. Oct 2020.

Stayed here one night as a pass through. $15 first come first served, no marked sites but you pull up to a light pole and there are 1-50 amp, 2 -30 amp, & 1-110 plug to use off the same panel. There is water nearby and a dump station. You pay on the honor system at a black box on the wall at the fair ground office. Lots of street noise and it’s very public in the middle of town. Lots of empty space.

Pulled in on 6/18 for a quick overnight - no power, but sign on office door requests $15 payment for parking regardless - no biggie, but wanted to post so others would be aware that there is not any power available.

It’s $15 whether you use electric or not but there’s nice boxes on all the poles the people are nice just a big gravel lot I was here April 2022 windy and cold
Dump station in potable water on site

Great location if you are passing through and need power hookup. Sewer dump is also easy access, but no hookup at each site.

This is our second time staying here, 3 nights in 2021 and 2 nights this year (2022). You can expect light traffic cutting through the fair grounds all throughout the night.

Note — there is a homeless shelter ministry “Crossroads Mission” across the street. Maybe 300-400 yards from the camp area. I’ve noticed people standing around outside, late into the night, but haven’t had any problems. Nor have I seen people wandering around the fairgrounds.

Power — during this stay (July 2022) I did have some issues with the 50A power hookup. I kept getting L1 excess voltage errors, but I was able to get voltage normalized.

We stayed for one night on the way to Colorado, clean gravel parking lot and used bathrooms in the fairground offices 8-5.

They were closed when we arrived but paid $20 in am at office. Friendly staff and dog😀 There is train noise as you’re close to a RR yard. But a great find.
