What you need to know
The Georgia National Fair is the state's official fair — eleven days of livestock and horse shows, a midway, concerts, agriculture and food at the sprawling Georgia National Fairgrounds & Agricenter in Perry, October 8-18, 2026. For RV travelers it's about as easy as a fair gets: the fairgrounds run their own on-site RV campground with 30/50-amp sites (some water/sewer), bookable directly through GNFA — you camp on the property and walk to the gates. Perry sits right on I-75 midway down Georgia, so the fair also makes a purpose-built overnight for snowbirds heading south for the winter.

Insider tip — what you won't find elsewhere
Book the on-site RV campground directly at gnfa.com — 30/50-amp sites let you camp on the fairgrounds and skip parking. Perry is on I-75, so it doubles as a snowbird overnight.
