A message to our SD State Fair Campers:
❗️Update as of Friday, August 22 morning❗️
Gate 13 is currently closed temporarily as we work to address the most problematic areas. We received well over 2 inches of rain early this morning. Site conditions will vary, but the majority of Gate 13 is inaccessible. Please call ahead before coming.
We strongly advise campers in Pasque Park and Gate 13 to delay moving in for a day or two. We are working to address the most problematic areas as able. We will update here as conditions change.
❗️Update as of Saturday, August 16 morning❗️
We received 1.5 inches plus early this morning with the storm that rolled through. Site conditions will vary and will continue to vary based on if more moisture is recieved. See below message from Thursday regarding conditions.
Thursday, August 14:
As you make plans to bring your campers to the State Fairgrounds, please be aware that the campgrounds are extremely muddy due to recent heavy rains in Huron, and more rain is predicted for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Some areas still have standing water, and some areas where new hookups were installed this summer have not yet re-established a substantial grass bed. We are working to address the most problematic areas as we can.
To help protect the grounds and ensure the best possible and safest conditions for everyone, we strongly advise campers to delay moving in as long as possible to avoid getting stuck and causing significant damage to the grounds. We understand that some campers must arrive in a specific order, but waiting as long as you can will help minimize damage to the grounds.
We also strongly encourage you to plan accordingly by bringing outdoor rugs, mats, etc. for those sites that don’t have an established grass bed (To be transparent, there are several sites that are very wet and muddy).
Thank you for your patience and cooperation. Questions, comments or concerns can be sent via direct message to this page.
We look forward to seeing you at the fair.
