Elkhart County Fairgrounds in Goshen, Indiana, offers established campsites primarily for RVs, with full hookups (electric, water, sewer) and some limited tent camping.


Summary

Reservations are recommended, especially during events; call ahead to confirm availability. Fees apply and vary by site type. Amenities include flush toilets, showers, potable water, picnic tables, and dump stations. No fire rings or grills are provided. The grounds are flat and open, with a casual, community feel—ideal during the bustling Elkhart County 4-H Fair. While not a wilderness experience, it’s a convenient base near Amish country, downtown Goshen, and Pumpkinvine Nature Trail. Best visited spring through fall.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
