Tips from campers about Iowa State Fairgrounds
- Brian4166 Navigation: Take 163/ University Avenue to E 30th to Dean Avenue. Go past gates 7, 8, and 9, up the steep hill to the entrance of the campground. This is the ONLY way to get to the campground. All other entrances say, Go to Dean Avenue like youre supposed to know where that is.2 years ago Iowa State Fairgrounds
- Merikay MacKenna Trader Joe's about 12 miles away. Papa Johns Sculpture garden was charming. Go on Sunday for free street parking. Be sure to check State Fair dates.6 years ago Iowa State Fairgrounds

“Quiet during off season”
Nightly Rate: $30 USD
We were the only ones in section 5. It was very peaceful and quiet except for passenger jets flying over. I guess we were in the flight path of planes. We camped at Iowa State Fairgrounds in a Fifth...
