I'm trying to find info on camping...do you have a direct link? When I click on the fairground website I can't find anything about reservations or what the sites are like or anything...

Anyone have a link to the camping information? I didn't see anything on the website and when I went to the Fairgrounds website I didn't see anything either. We are trying to decide whether or not to attend, but I'd like to check out the camping facilities first...thanks!

[+Pinewood]

There isn't a link for the camping. I personally am familiar with the camping area at the fairgrounds. There are electric hook ups if one desires or primitive sites without electric. There are restrooms and shower facilities. All reservations are done through www.gcinohiogeofest.org. You can basically camp anywhere on the south side of the fairgrounds. There are lots of trees for shade. There are reasonable hotels in the area as well.

 

 

If you have any more questions, please email me directly at pinewoodave@yahoo.com

 

 

Thanks,
