The FairPark RV

Stayed here for one night as it was close to the RV rental company.

Hook-up and not expensive.

It's just a parking lot basically. Don't expect anything more.

Friendly staff.

First review January 2022 Scroll down for October 2023

The park was easy to find. It is located in the Pleasanton Alameda Count Fair Grounds. . There is pavement all the way including in the park. Signage is adequate. Check in was efficient and friendly. The rules are fairly basic.

Our site, 187, was a back in that was just barely long enough for our Coach and Towed. Services (30 amp only) was a long way back to the right side. I am glad that I had an extension cable!. The water and sewer were to the left rear. Distancing is very, very close. Typical for an urban park. There is no barrier between sites. There are no tables or fire pits. Our site was flat and even gravel/dirt pad.

There is no included wifi. We did find a number OTA TV. Satellite should not be difficult. We did not use the washrooms or pay showers but they were open.

There is a large green space that is used for dogs just outside of the RV Park gate. Users appear to be very good at cleaning up after their pets and there are poop bags and a garbage near by. There is a very small store on site that I suspect is stocked during the warmer months. It’s shelves were bare during our stay. It appears there may be propane sales on site.

Within a short drive you can find good food, shopping and any other amenity you may need.. We found this park to be a well run urban RV park that delivers just the bare basics.. We paid $42.00 a night and we feel we received poor value. This is more like a $30 - $35.park. It is just too basic to be worth more. We would look at other alternatives if in the area again. Be advised, this is a very busy park It was pretty much full during our two day stay during off season.

October 2023

There was construction taking place expanding the park so no store or office. Just a construction trailer at the entrance.

Our site, 168 was a gravel based back in that was just long enough for our Coach and Towed. Services (30 50 amp, water and sewer only) were to the left side. Distancing is super close even for an urban park. There is no room for table or a fire pit. Our site was flat and even. Overall the park was a place to set up in order to rest your body at night. There is absolutely nothing to do in the park

There is NO park included wifi or cable TV. We did not find any OTA channels. Satellite would not be difficult. We did not use the washrooms, showers or laundromat but we checked and found them clean.

There are no restaurants or stores within easy walking distance but just a short drive away you can find food, shopping and convenience stores. We found this park to be the only game in town thus we persevered. We paid $43.00 per night (inc tax) and we feel we received very poor value. Sadly, we will be back as we use it as a base to visit friends.

This park is perfect if you need convenient access to fairground events. It is an RV parking lot with hookups. The spaces are very tight. Recommend booking an end space.

The surface is a combination of broken up asphalt, rocks and dirt. It is very dusty and the dirt sticks to everything.

For us, the worst was the constant sewer smell. I imagine this is a symptom of close proximity to the sewer hookups although there could be a venting problem.

When we visited (09/2023), there was construction to add new spaces. The general store and RV parts store were not open. Registration was at a trailer at the front gate.

The laundry room, restrooms and showers were in great condition and clean.

There is a large green space right outside the gate that is good for dogs.

Grocery store and restaurants within a mile.

Good RV park for travel nurses. Rates are reasonable with no add on costs. I always felt safe and it's the people there that make it a fun stay!!

They refuse to book us because, despite spending hundreds of dollars for items to keep the outdoor space clean, organized, and presentable as possible for a service-connected, PTSD recovering veteran, who also contacted the police for the park when I discovered the dead body of a neighbor on June 5th, and took custody of the neighbors brother when he arrived to help him settle affairs. Hot even a ‘thank you’ from the employees or manager, and told, despite available space, they had no room for storage of anything I might want to store there. Avoid this seemingly nice place if possible. They are arbitrary and dishonest. There is a general and RV store. Access to a dog park, and all the shopping needs you could want within walking or short driving distance. Wifi signal is weak here, and you might suffer a plague of flies, or buttheads for an associated event they are hosting without giving you any kind of heads up.
