Temporary RV Parking
As part of our continuous improvement effort to bring you a better experience at the New York State Fair, we have implemented 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 2, 2009 and the deadline for submitting them was Friday, March 20, 2009. 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 ($400/site) and Belle Isle Lot ($440/site). These credentials will allow you access to your site anytime after Sunday, August 23, 2009 and you must vacate the site by Wednesday, September 9, 2009. These locations will be available for sale in-person only (no telephone or online sales) beginning Monday, August 10, 2009 at 10:00am at the Parking Office trailer (enter Gate 2, make an immediate right and proceed down Tonawanda Street – office located just beyond the Indian Village on the right, behind the Maintenance Office). Parking Office hours are 10:00am to 3:00pm, 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.
If there are any further questions, please call the Parking Office at (315) 487-7711 ext. 1303 Monday though Friday, 9am-2pm.
