Campground rules

These are the rules every camper agrees to when they register. Most of them come down to looking after the place and being a good neighbour.

You sign these when you fill out the campsite registration form. If anything here is unclear, call the Fair Office before you book rather than after you arrive.

All twenty six, in the order they appear on the registration form. The headings are ours, added to make the list easier to scan. The rules themselves are unchanged.

Fair week

  1. Campers may have to vacate the premises or be moved the week before and the week of Fair.

During the Fair, everyone camping on the grounds is also required to purchase a Fair admission wristband. See tickets and admission.

One thing we are checking. These rules count adults, two per tent or car space and four per RV space. The 2026 pricing sheet counts campers, with additional campers at $10 each. Those two documents word it differently, and we would rather tell you that than guess. If you are travelling with children, call the office at (530) 628-5223 and we will give you a straight answer for your group.

Release of liability

This paragraph appears on the registration form directly above the signature line. By signing the form you agree to it.

I release and hold harmless the State of California, the California Fair Services Authority, Trinity County Fair Association, County of Trinity, their directors, officers, agents, servants, and employees in any way connected with my activities on the fairground's campground for any loss, damage or injury. Further, I assume and accept the full risk and danger for any injury or damage to myself or my property which may occur through or by reason of any matter, thing, condition or any person or persons whatsoever in any way connected with my activities on the fairground's campground.

The registration form also states: if you or your guests do not abide by the rules, you agree to vacate the premises.
