Temporary RV Parking
As part of our continuous improvement effort to bring you a better experience at the New York State Fair, we have an advanced registration process for Full Fair Temporary RV Parking during the New York State Fair. Applications for reserving Temporary RV Parking locations were made available on Monday, March 1, 2010 and the deadline for submitting them was Wednesday, March 31, 2010.
At this time, we are no longer accepting advanced registration applications. There are several locations remaining for Full Fair Temporary RV Parking with services (electric, water, septic) in both the Infield and Belle Isle Lots. These locations will be available for sale in-person only (no telephone or online sales) beginning Monday, August 9, 2010 at 10:00 am at the Parking Office trailer (enter Gate 2, make an immediate right and proceed down Tonawanda Street - office located just beyond Indian Village on the right, behind Maintenance). Parking Office hours are 10:00 am to 3:00 pm, Monday through Friday.
Daily Temporary RV Parking locations with no services are available in the Black Lot for $15/overnight. These locations will only be available for purchase upon arrival once the Fair begins.
