Antelope Valley Fair Rv Park

An excellent place to stage your trip the night before you drive south through Los Angeles. We have been stopping by here for overnight stays for several years and it can be ever so unnerving (for my navigator) to drive your rig through L.A. traffic. Leaving this campground at 0’dark thirty gets you through the majority of L.A. without the white knuckle traffic that can challenge even the most seasoned RV’er. Especially Sunday mornings. Level 50 amp pull thrus make it easy for even the most gi-​normus rig and 30 amp back in spots along the perimeter of the campground. Very clean restrooms and showers with very hot water. While not a destination resort type campground, this is a very good good place to set up if you are coming from the the north or the Sierras and just need to get off the road for a night.
One last suggestion… we make sure we have our food provisions stocked up an evening meal as local eats are just a little out of the way from this campground.

Nice RV park. No Trees, no pool, no cable. It is far from the city, so you don’t see any traffic coming in and out of the park. Pat the office manager is nice and helped us get a good rv spot.

I am a snowbird. I use this park as a stop over when traveling north in the summer and south in the winter. Good 50 amp service. Easy pull-​throughs. Lancaster and Palmdale have most of the big box stores.

Went to see the most awesome composer ever: Espinoza Paz! I am a fan of his songs. Although I like him better as a composer than an actual singer he is so down to Earth, so amazing. He put on a good show. I don’t really like the seating arrangement this place has. We weren’t down on the pit or sitting on the chairs in the pit, we went up to the bleachers and it doesn’t seem like we are part of the show. We are too far away. If there were some sound on the bleachers maybe it would have been a different experience. I just didn’t wanna put up with the paisas on the ground, if we had arrived earlier and got first row I would have been just fine. They also need some more vendors up and down those bleachers I was getting hungry and thirsty.lol. Not too fond of their venue. Get some speakers up there.

Though not a resort or anything, this spacious and well-​run RV park will handle the largest vehicles without fuss. It is arrayed with back in spaces around the perimeter of the park offering 30A full hookups while the center row of spaces are all pull-​thru style with 50A plugs. There is no advance registration at the park: self-​registration only at the sign-​in station as you pull in. We just spent a year in the park, leaving our RV there as we traveled back and forth from our house for working stretches during the week in the AV, and during that time there was never an instance where there were no spaces available. So do not worry about finding a space, the park is big and there are always lots of open spots, so long as the AV Fair is not going on. **SEE NOTE BELOW
Though you can pay by credit card if you prefer, you will need to stop into the office the next morning to do so if you are a late-​arrival. As of this writing, the 30A back-​ins are $ 20/​night and the pull-​thrus run $ 25/​night. There is no better rate for pull-​thru RV spots anywhere near the Antelope Valley that I could find.
The restroom and shower facilities are absolutely spotless. Though there are cypherlocks on the doors, you do not need a code or key to use them so long as you are a guest. Wifi is provided: the password is posted at the office when you sign in.
About the only drawbacks are the fact that the park is utilitarian with very little landscaping. There are small, curbed, islands of xeriscaped dirt on what is otherwise blacktop from end to end, but no significant shade except for a couple spots that are generally occupied. The other is weather, wind in particular. The AV is pretty famous for its winds and the Antelope Valley Fairgrounds RV Park is no exception. While staying there, use caution in deploying your awnings. You can get away with it in the AM but always be prepared to trim the sails in the afternoon as you will likely have to.
We never encountered one instance of crime out there. It is rather off the beaten path, well-​fenced, and there is no real way for criminals to get to your stuff without really exposing themselves to being caught.
Tips: About the biggest one I can think of is telling you how to get there. Although the address shows up on H street, that is not how you get to the RV Park. The park entrance is off G-​8. G-​8 can only be reached from 30^th St. West for this particular stretch of the street. Coming from the North off CA-​14, exit Ave. G, travel west to 30^th St. W, turn Left, travel .5 miles to G-​8, turn left yet again and follow the street down to the park entrance.
Coming from the South, exit Ave. H, drive west to 30^th St. West, turn right, and stay in the right lane. You will turn right at G-​8. Follow the signs to the park.
Our year spent at the AV Fairgrounds was a real bargain for us. We were treated well by the excellent manager, Pat Rush, who really cares that the park is run well and that stuff works for the guests. If they had a little grass and a swimming pool the place would be a resort, but for a staging area in the AV for RV travel there is no better alternative anywhere close by.
NOTE: The park Closes for two weeks during the Antelope Valley Fair every year. The Fair is held in August so check the web to make sure they are open if you plan on staying in August.
