Camping Rules for the Harford Fair

Please read carefully

  1. “Preferred camping” – Camping reservation forms must be received by July 1st, 2023 for preferred camping. All preferred camping reservations will be placed in or near the same spot as last year, if possible. Payment in full must accompany the form. Any reservations received after July 1st, up to August 1st, will be placed on a first come, first serve basis.
  2. All reservations must be received by August 1st, 2023. There is no guarantee of getting a camping space after August 1st. Any reservations made after August 1st will be placed wherever there is space left and at the price of that space.
  3. Camping areas – on the form, some camping areas have slightly different names – West side is the same side as the fairgrounds. East side is the parking lot side of the grounds. Camping area letters are the same A, B, C, D, G and H. Section G and Section H will have all 30-amp service.
  4. If you would like to run your air conditioner, please request this by filling out the form and paying to be placed in Section G or Section H, with 30 amp service. No air conditioners will be allowed to be run in Sections B, C or D – there are no exceptions to this rule. If you try to run your air conditioner in these areas, your camper will be unplugged.
  5. Measure the overall length of your camper including your hitch. Measure accurately - if you do not fit in the assigned space, you will be placed in the next available space that best fits your camper. Any camper over 38’ will be placed on the East Side. No exceptions.
  6. Incomplete camper forms will be returned, as well as forms received without payment
  7. Campers must enter at Gate 3.
  8. Camper space assignments and parking arrival times will be emailed with your camping confirmation.
  9. All campers must be on grounds by 6:00pm, Sunday, August 13, 2023.
  10. Campers are responsible for all blocking and extension cords. All electrical cords must have a ground (3 prong plug). If they do not, you will not be allowed to plug in until you get one. Please bring a long enough extension cord - a 100 foot cord is recommended.
