| importantInformation |
Reservation limits/subleasing Each person may make no more than two (2) site reservations. Reservations are for the individual who placed the reservation and their associated camper/vehicle only for the length of time necessary. “Subleased” spots, in which the individual making the reservation allows a third party to later occupy his or her spot after he or she exits the Ohio State Fair, are strictly prohibited. This means that individuals cannot make a reservation, stay for a portion of the leased time, pull out and then let his or her friend pull in. Violators may be towed and prohibited from booking future camping reservations at the Ohio State Fair. Hours and check-in/check-out Campground is open from July 18, 2016 to August 7, 2016.

If their site is not booked, additional nights may be able to be added at the original rate of $50 per day. The campgrounds will be patrolled. If a purchased spot is found to be vacant or being leased to another camper fraudulently using another owner’s permit and reservation, both violators may be prohibited from booking future camping reservations at the Ohio State Fair.
