For Central States Fairgrounds: Actual campground for fairgrounds is located near corner of Centre St and Cambell St - do not use fairgrounds address. Fairly level gravel sites with grass strips between. Each gravel strip is two sites - if you’re lucky and the whole strip is unoccupied, then it’s a long pull through site. Had central electric boxes & water spigots for 4 sites in alternating grassy areas.
Biggest problem is if you don’t call the fairgrounds M-F during business hours to make a reservation, you have to look up the camp host to unlock the electric box on an unoccupied site.
When I got there on a Late Saturday afternoon, found the host gone (on vacation). I checked around and found a couple of sites that had been reserved through the previous day and the electric boxes had not yet been relocked. Will probably end up staying free as there’s no self-pay option.

For Central States Fairgrounds: We stayed on the cement parking lot by the arena. The water and electric are not on the same side. We have a 30amp so cost was $30. There was a horse competition going on but they stopped at 8 pm and was no problem. The dump station was in a large area and well maintained, easy in and out. No excessive traffic. Trains nearby didn’t run at night. Good for overnight, would stay again.

For Central States Fairgrounds: Nice and level pull-throughs with water and electric. Great stop over place for the night. We will stay the next time we are through.

For Central States Fairgrounds: Really no grass for rig, big storm and the lot is all mud, used the horse stall to park the truck and avoid any hail damage so that is a big plus, no one here and no one checked for reservations, stayed 2 nights. Dump station, restrooms and shower.

For Central States Fairgrounds: Good overnite stop. Moderate road noise but no semi’s as this is a 4 lane feeder into south Rapid City. Power and water at sites. There is a shower house, ask for the code. Convenient to downtown and bike path starts here and heads downtown. $30 per nite, plus 2.5% fee when using credit card to pay. We would stay again, friendly staff.
