Twin Falls County Fair RV Park

We camped here in June 2021 in the dry camping field with a 40’ Motorhome.

The “system” for getting a spot here is a bit clunky, but it’s worth it. You have to call a guy when you’re nearby and he’ll come meet you and guide you to a spot. No problem getting a big rig into the fairgrounds.

When we arrived it was pretty empty/quiet. We stayed 7 days and about half way through the whole place came to life. They asked us to move so they could irrigate the grass (which was a bit annoying). But by the weekend the place was FULL for a Junior livestock show and the Filer Days parade. We had a front row seat to everything and it was amazing!

Showers were clean and had lots of hot water.
Dump station is setup for use on the way IN not on the way out, so just keep that in mind. You may need to go out and circle around to come back in and dump/fill if needed during your stay.

Easy access to Twin Falls and Buhl.
Highly recommend a stop at Cloverleaf Creamery. And there’s an Amazon locker in Buhl too if you need a package delivered.

Be sure to visit Blue Heart Springs and Banbury Hot Springs if you’re in the area.

Because we'd usually rather be boondocking, we're all about cheap when we actually have to pay for a campsite. And if we're actually going to have to pay, we want the whole shebang -- 50A electric, water and sewer hookups -- because why pay for what we otherwise get for free? The Twin Falls County Fairgrounds delivers on both counts.

The RV Park is located on the east side of the fairgrounds and has 80 spaces with full hook-ups (water, sewer & 50 amp power); and 100 hook-up with (water & 30 amp power). Spaces with amenities cost $21.20, tax included per night, or $106 for a week (buy 5 nights/get 2 free). Dry camping with no amenities is available for $10.60, tax included per night. Maximum stay is 2 weeks. No reservations, everything is first-come, first-served.

Sites are located on grass, with dirt roads throughout the campground. Hookups for water, electric and sewer are located behind your RV. While the site itself is level, that makes it uphill for the sewer run so we wish that they had chosen a more traditional layout. Still, for this price I'm not complaining. Also, if the place actually filled up these sites would be crazy tight; however, during our visit July 2021 they're not even close to 50% capacity, so folks are leaving at least one site between themselves and their neighbors.

Cell signal strength and data speeds are solid on both Verizon and AT&T. We've been both working and streaming with no issues whatsoever.

There's a separate dump station on site with potable water. The bathrooms are individual units with showers, and are immaculate. If you arrive after hours you have to call the after-hours number on the sign, and James will come out and determine your site and collect your money (cash or check only). The campground occasionally closes for events held at the Fairgrounds, and in 2021 that's for two events. Check their website for details. There was a lot of activity during our stay including equestrian events and even a monster truck rally, so there's lots to keep you entertained while you're in the campground and not out exploring the Twin Falls area.

Filer is a tiny ranching community just west of Twin Falls. Campers will find the surprisingly complete M&W Market just down the street, along with a True Value Hardware. And all of the chains and big box stores are nearby in Twin Falls, only 7 miles away.

No livestock are allowed in RV area, but boarding is available in stables adjacent to the campground for $10 inside/$5 outside. Dogs are not allowed to roam freely and must be under supervision of their owner, either on a leash or kennel.

So when everything else was booked solid in July 2021, we found dirt cheap FHU sites aplenty at the Twin Falls County Fairgrounds!
