Evergreen State Fair

Evergreen State Fair offers overnight RV camping by advanced reservation. A few sights may be available last minute if campsites are still available. Electrical and water hookups are offered at some sites, and a dump station is available on site. Remember to check the length of your rig when booking a spot since some lots may have size limits. Online registration is not offered for fair dates. Reservation forms are available on the fair's website.

Looking to park your RV and enjoy the natural wonders of Washington State? Whether you are looking to camp en route to the fair or just want to be separated from the crowds, multiple suitable options reside in the area. RV camping opportunities can be found within twenty minutes of the fairground in and throughout the national forest lands that surround the City of Monroe. You will be able to park your RV, stay overnight, cook, and even do some fishing in the nearby lake. Hiking is an easy add-on excursion almost anywhere in the area.

To move around the fair more efficiently with little ones, consider renting a wagon or a stroller. Power scooters and wheelchairs are also offered. To rent a wheeled device, you will need a valid ID, which will be retained until you return the vehicle. If you don't have an ID, it will still be possible to rent, but you will be required to leave a security deposit. Rental stations are typically located near the Blue and Red Gate Information Booths.

While the fair takes place during late August and early September, that does not mean you want to pack exclusively lightweight, summer clothes. Washington does often have plenty of warm, sunny days at this time of year, but you may also get a little wet or chilly this far north. Remember to pack a hoodie, a raincoat, and a light jacket, along with your favorite t-shirts, lightweight shoes, skirts, dresses, and hats. Consider clothing that can easily be layered up or down if you play to stay at the fair after the sun begins to set.

Grilling equipment, tables, chairs, kitchen supplies, cozy blankets, and pillows are great for any campsite and are easily stowed in your rig during transport. Additionally, it would be wise to pack a flashlight, a first aid kit, and a bug spray. When exploring the fair, make sure to bring a pair of shades, plenty of water to stay hydrated, and something to keep you dry in case the clouds drip.

If you plan to explore the Evergreen State Fair daily attractions with young children, you may want to stop by the Lost Person's Booth in advance for ID bracelets. Also, keep in mind that smoking is prohibited throughout the entirety of the fairgrounds. Fair staff can help with basic first aid needs
on site. When spending your time in nature, make sure to have a first aid kit accessible or in your RV.

If you want to test your culinary skills, fill your RV kitchen with meat, produce, and eggs, or quinoa, fish, and pancakes. Pack your grilling equipment, kitchen supplies, and campsite favorites. The Evergreen State Fair does not allow campfires. If you forget something while packing, worry not, and head to one of the nearby grocery stores or supermarkets.

Not in the mood to cook every night on vacation? Most eating establishments are located east of the fair's location, in downtown Monroe. Here, you can look for Thai, Japanese, Mexican, and plenty of traditional and fast food restaurants. Other fair-goers may have the same idea, so leave a few extra minutes before your crew gets too hungry at mealtime.

Aside from offering endless fun and entertainment, the Evergreen State Fair is a true heaven for shopaholics. Hundreds of vendors will come to the fair to share the designs and talents. From traditional and exotic foods and drinks to electronic devices, livestock, and home supplies, you can find pretty much anything. Remember to have cash and maybe a major debit card with you.
