NORTHERN IOWA From I-35, take I-235 to Exit 10A then head east on E University Avenue approximately four miles to the Fairgrounds. SOUTHERN IOWA From I-35, take IA 5/US 65 to Exit 79 then head west on E University Avenue approximately four miles to the Fairgrounds. EASTERN IOWA From I-80 take Exit 141 (Hwy. 65 Bypass), travel south on Hwy. 65 to Exit 79 and head west on Hwy. 163 (E University Avenue) approximately three miles to the Fairgrounds. It is suggested that visitors enter the Fair parking lot at E 36th as a left-hand turn may not be allowed into the grounds at E 33rd at certain times. WESTERN IOWA From I-235, take Exit 10A then head east on E University Avenue approximately four miles to the Fairgrounds.
Again, how is it possible for a state run campground, with thousands of people using the facilities, to have only ONE two lane entrance and exit? If it was a private venue, possible emergency evacuation would dictate a much different entrance/exit road.
What a joke!!! Called ahead told no problem lots of sites. Arrived and paid 32.00, given a map and told to look for a spot. Drove around for an hour no spots we could fit in with hook-ups. Never so happy to get out of a place!!! Didn't even stop to get my money back. Missed my scheduled tour of the Capitol. NEVER AGAIN, WHAT A DISORGANIZED MESS!!
For 2 weeks every August, We get the pleasure of spending time with our Iowa State fair friends and family. It’s a great feeling, being surrounded by people who love the fair as much as you do.
Wow! The hosts are AWESOME! Sooo nice to find a live body this time of year! Kathy gave us specific directions which led us directly to the Cg. Without her guidance we would of been lost :/. So go University to 30th, to Dean turn left. Go alllll the way up the hill turn into the Cg and go to the top of hill by blue shack. It was $32 for the evening. We have a pull through on grass. LOTS of rain so hope we are ok. It’s off season and they close Oct 16. Just made it in time. I would do this again. Full hookup!
A little confusing finding our spot but all is good
