What you need to know
North Dakota State Fair 2027 runs Jul 23–31, 2027, in Minot, North Dakota. Watch the fair's winter announcement: its 2025 camping went on sale at midnight in January, with every site assigned and reserved in advance.
The North Dakota State Fair has set its 2027 run for July 23 through 31 in Minot.
Its camping works on assigned sites that must be reserved ahead: the fair sells a stay for the full run, lets campers add extra days, and books through its website or its camping office. RVs, campers and tents are all accepted. The calendar to watch is the winter one. For the 2025 fair, camping reservations opened at midnight on January 22, and the fair told campers to expect the spots to sell out quickly, which makes a January reminder the most useful part of planning a 2027 visit. The fair pitches its campground as steps from the heart of the grounds, the rides, the concerts and the food, so the rig can stay parked for the week.
Safety rules and an insider tip
Safety + legal. Late-July storms on the northern plains can bring wind and hail; stow awnings when you leave the site, and know where the fair sends campers in severe weather.
