Polk County Fairgrounds

We came after hours and there is a caretaker available who will unlock your power after you fill out a form. You can pay him with cash or check. We were staying two days so we paid the next morning with a credit card.
Get the sites with a number 4 since these are at the edge and have trees. Other sites are just in a large lot.
Great park aside of it you can walk to with lots of shade and access to a running stream. Our puppies loves it.
Museum on the grounds and different events on weekends so make sure you call for reservations.
Playground in the grounds.
E4 our site

While it is a gravel lot near somewhat busy Hwy 99. It is inexpensive, roomy spots, pull thru and back in. 30 amp only plus water. Dump station on site. Back in sites look out over fields. Weekends and after hours you have to call the on-site caretaker to unlock power/water and check in. Cash/check only after hours.

Polk County museum is in the SW corner of the fairgrounds. Some weekends have a flea market at the main exhibition hall. There is a playground on the north side of the main exhibition hall. Restaurant around the corner from the museum. Fairgrounds shares an entrance with a local park that has trails and picnic spots near the river.

We stayed here while participating in an art event in the Willamette valley lavender farms. Very level with no shade or tables. We arrived after 4:30 pm so we had to find the caretaker to get set up even though we had a reservation. I would recommend calling ahead to make sure someone is available if you are arriving after fairground hours.

Quiet, no frills, and level. Water and 50 amp electric. There is some highway noise but we parked at the far end from the road and it wasn’t bad. No shade or picnic tables. Pretty views of farm fields and a nearby park for walking, swimming or fishing, on Rickreall Creek. Good for any size rig. There are bathrooms and showers but we didn’t try them. In the beautiful Willamette valley where there are over 700 wineries. Just a few miles from the cute town of Independence.

It is a fairground, on a quiet, rural Rt 99 about 10 miles from Salem, the state capital. The sites are large, back in and pull thru, mostly gravel, level, with partial hook ups of water and electricity. It is a parking lot, but feels more like a field with farmland all around. The dump station is onsite and included in the daily rate. We stayed 2 nites on our way to Columbia Gorge. Would stay again.
