During our journey from Washington to Southern California, we decided to take a pit stop here. Sacramento didn't appear to have many quality accommodations, but we were pleased with our choice. The place was a bit tricky to locate, but we managed to find it by following the signs around the fairground's edges. We did a quick drive-through to ensure it was secure before deciding to stay. The staff at the front desk were amicable and supportive. They assigned us to site 407, a concrete back-in with full hook-ups and a level surface. If you have a motorhome up to 35 feet and can handle back-in parking, sites 402-414 are recommended as they are secluded, quiet, and surrounded by trees. We visited during the off-season when no events were taking place, so there was ample space between the sites. However, it might feel a bit cramped if fully occupied. The remaining 400s and 500s sites are gravel-based, primarily pull-throughs. Sites 100-300 are paved but not as level, offering both pull-through and back-in options. They also have a decent-sized dog park for off-leash fun, which was a nice touch! The place is quite basic and not particularly scenic, but it covers the necessities and feels secure. We'll certainly consider staying here again during our travels!

Three months ago my wife and I had booked July 9-12, 2022 at Cal Expo RV while visiting our grandchildren in nearby Roseville. I received a voice mail on Friday, May 6th asking me to call their office. I called only to be informed that they were cancelling my reservation because a large group was coming in for the California State Fair and they needed my site. No apology, no "were sorry", no "how can we make it up to you", just zip. Talk about low class. Apparently I am not the only one, while speaking with another RV park staff member he mentioned he had already had several people call seeking space for the same reason. Here's a tip, stay elsewhere because Cal Exp does not honor reservations people make months in advance. .

This would be a great stop for a few days. We were there for a work week and then some. It is accessible to downtown, but it is just a parking lot with no frills. We got lucky and parked under one of the only trees in the park which made it feel more welcoming. We were by the dumpsters but it was never an issue. They have a laundry room but close at 4pm so make sure to make the deadline because they lock it before they head home for the day! ha. There is a night guard that patrols. There is direct access to the bike path which goes for miles and miles and connects to other trails which made our stay really great. FHU and pretty level. Easy pull thru site. Would stay again, but for a shorter time.

We stayed here for one night while making our way down California. We called ahead the morning of our arrival to see if we could make a reservation. They took our name and told us they had sites available, and that when arrived we should pick a spot based on the length of our rig and pay in the morning, so that’s what we did. When I went to pay, they asked for additional information like the make, model, and license numbers of both our truck and RV so that they could put us in their computer system (in case we ever stayed there again). Although it didn’t come up in my conversation with them, I noticed a note on their whiteboard that any RVs older than 10 years were subject to approval: whether that was a new rule or a temporary rule was unclear. It’s a fairly typical RV park for a property that serves as a state fairground. The section near the office has shorter, paved spots, while the section we stayed in was all gravel (streets and sites). Most of the sites are fully exposed to the sun, and there are street lights on tall poles at intervals typical of a regular parking lot. According to the campground map, there is a laundry facility and showers (presumably bathrooms?) attached to the office building. Both sections of campground have access to the fenced-in dog park. We were also able to walk our dogs along the border of the campground along a line of tall evergreen trees. Given our one-night stay, I only did two speed tests with my Verizon Jetpack with MIMO antenna and the best reading I got was about 20bps down and 20Mbps up, and other than the occasional buffering we had no trouble steaming video that evening. The one speed test I did with my AT&T phone showed 38Mbps down and 14 up. We would stay here again for an overnight stay.

They run a pretty tight ship at Cal Expo and staying there put us ten mins from our friend's house in East Sac. Excellent accountability with front office, who checked with us about arrival twice and someone was even there for our late arrival to make sure we got parked OK. Sights are just asphalt of course with hook ups, but the dog park is grassy and nice and security seems good. We were there M Tu W and never crowded. You have to give a cash deposit for a key to the shower, FYI. Husb reports they were "clean enough"--older but well kept. No complaints and great urban cell and OATV.
