Overview
2022 State Fair Information
The Empire RV Park lies within the New York State Fairgrounds, home of the nation’s first and oldest state fair. The Empire RV Park will be available to those renting a space for a 17-night stay - this includes the four nights before, and then the entire 13 nights of the Fair. The 2022 New York State Fair runs from Wednesday, August 24 ending on Labor Day, Monday, September 5.
The Empire RV Park reservation includes a single parking site for one RV for up to a 17-night stay (includes water, electric, sewer and locations for garbage disposal), one vehicle parking permit, and two 13-day admission wristband passes to the Fair (see details about Fairtime hours below). Rental price is $600 plus a $7.25 reservation fee per site. Upon arrival, one additional Yellow Parking Lot permit may be purchased at a cost of $210. Any vehicle parked without the proper credentials in the Empire RV Park will be removed.
Campsites are supplied with water, electric (120 volt/30amp or 240 volt/50amp), sewer, and locations for garbage disposal. Bathroom and shower facilities are located at the west and east ends of the park. Campers must bring/supply their own water hose, sewer pipe, and electrical cord to reach sewer drop and water/electric hook-ups. For health reasons, all RV’s must have their own holding tanks. Hose stations are provided exclusively for filling holding tanks and other temporary service needs.
Your RV and vehicle should be parked either pulled-in or backed-in, centered on the designated camping site number. RV vehicles, tow vehicles, and other items must fit within the assigned RV site and not impose upon neighboring sites or fire lanes - site sizes vary. You must not encroach on the assigned site of another guest with your RV, slide-outs, pop-ups, awnings, grills, furniture, etc. You may not extend beyond the site allotted in any direction. State Fair management are the sole arbiters of whether a vehicle extends beyond the site. Any vehicle causing a disturbance to neighboring sites, roadways, fire lanes, etc. may be relocated or removed from the property.
