Fairgrounds
The Chaffee County Fairgrounds are located on County Road 120 (just off Highway 50) one mile west of downtown Salida, Colorado. The Fairgrounds are not visible from the highway, sitting on the ridge that runs along the north side between Poncha Springs and Salida.
Salida is the crossroads for the three state highways: U.S. 24, 50 and 285. Driving distances to Salida are: from Denver - approximately 130 miles; from Colorado Springs and Pueblo - 100 miles; from Gunnison - 60 miles; and from Fairplay - 50 miles.

Camping
On-Site camping WITHOUT RV hookups is available at no charge on the Chaffe County Fairgrounds from Friday night through the following Thursday morning for REGISTERED PARTICIPANTS ONLY. A limited number of RV hookups are available at $10.00 per day on a first-come first-served basis. Because the camping area and hookups on-site are somewhat limited, you must obtain a Camping Permit tag from the Registration building by Friday afternoon for each tent, tow rig, RV or camper in your party.
