RV Rental for Arkansas State Fair in Alexander, AR
If you’re planning to spend a few days at the Arkansas State Fair this October, an RV rental for the Arkansas State Fair gives you a home base just minutes from the Arkansas State Fairgrounds on Roosevelt Road in Little Rock. Fireside RV Rental delivers travel trailers and motorhomes throughout Central Arkansas from our base in Alexander, so you can skip the fair-week hotel scramble along Interstate 30 and stay close to the midway, the livestock barns, and the nightly concerts at Barton Coliseum.
Camping Near the Arkansas State Fairgrounds
The fairgrounds sit just off Interstate 30 in south Little Rock, but there is no full-hookup RV campground on the property itself. That means most fairgoers who want to camp head to one of the state and Corps of Engineers parks ringing the metro. The good news: every one of them is a reasonable drive from the gates, and we can deliver your unit straight to the site so you never tow a thing.
- Maumelle Park (Corps of Engineers) — riverside sites on the Arkansas River off I-430 in west Little Rock, roughly 25 minutes from the fairgrounds with electric and water hookups.
- Pinnacle Mountain State Park — northwest of town near Highway 300, a quiet option about 30 minutes out if you want hiking between fair days.
- Two Rivers Park area and Burns Park in North Little Rock — close-in green space across the river via I-30 and I-40, handy for families staying near the city.
- Willow Beach Park — another Corps site along the river east of town, a calm spot away from fair-week traffic.
- Lake Catherine State Park and DeGray Lake Resort State Park — toward Hot Springs on U.S. 70, about an hour southwest if you want to pair the fair with a lake weekend.
Because campsite inventory near Little Rock tightens during fair season, we recommend reserving your campground spot first, then booking your RV rental to match those dates.
RV Delivery to Your Fair Campsite
We Set Up, You Enjoy the Fair
Our delivery service runs from Alexander out across Saline and Pulaski counties, so reaching Maumelle Park, Burns Park, or a private spot near Bryant or Benton is a short hop down I-30 or I-430. We tow the unit in, level it, connect water and power, and walk you through the controls before you ever drive to the fairgrounds. After the last corn dog and the final ride on the Ferris wheel, we come back and haul it out. Learn more on our RV delivery page.
Coming In From Out of Town
Flying into Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport (LIT)? It’s only a few miles from the fairgrounds, and you don’t need to rent a tow vehicle — we’ll have the RV waiting at your campground when you arrive. Visitors driving up from Hot Springs, Sheridan, or Maumelle can leave the towing to us and meet the unit on-site.
October Weather at the Arkansas State Fair
The fair lands in mid-October, one of the most comfortable stretches of the year in Central Arkansas. Expect daytime highs in the low 70s and crisp evenings dropping into the upper 40s and low 50s — pleasant for walking the midway but cool enough that you’ll want the RV’s heat on overnight at a riverside site like Maumelle Park. Early-fall rain is possible, so a delivered camper gives you a dry, climate-controlled place to retreat when an afternoon shower rolls through.
When to Book
Fair week draws families from all over Arkansas, and both campground reservations and our delivery calendar fill up well ahead of opening day. For the best site selection at the riverside Corps parks and to lock in your dates, reach out a couple of months in advance. Last-minute requests are worth a call too — we’ll tell you honestly what’s still open.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you camp at the Arkansas State Fairgrounds?
The fairgrounds off Roosevelt Road don’t offer full-hookup RV camping during the event, so most visitors camp at nearby parks like Maumelle Park, Burns Park, or Pinnacle Mountain State Park and drive in via I-30 or I-430. We deliver your rental directly to whichever site you reserve.
Can the RV be delivered to a campground near the Little Rock fair?
Yes. We deliver throughout Pulaski and Saline counties from Alexander, including Corps of Engineers sites along the Arkansas River and state parks within roughly 30 minutes of the fairgrounds. We handle setup, leveling, and hookups before you arrive.
How far in advance should I book for the Arkansas State Fair?
Because October campgrounds around Little Rock book up during fair week, reserve your campsite first and then contact us a month or two ahead to secure your unit and delivery slot. We’ll still try to help with shorter-notice requests when units are free.
Do I need a truck to tow the rental myself?
No. With our delivery service you never tow or back in a thing — ideal if you’re flying into Clinton National Airport (LIT) or coming from Benton, Bryant, or Hot Springs. We bring the RV to your fairgrounds-area campsite and pick it up when the fair ends.
