About
Empire RV Park is a full-hookup RV campground located on the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse. All 313 back-in sites offer water, electric (30-amp or 50-amp), and sewer hookups, with bathroom and shower facilities at both ends of the park. This campground only opens for the roughly two-and-a-half week New York State Fair period each year (typically mid-to-late August through early September) - it is not available for general camping the rest of the year.
Fees
This full-hookup RV park only operates during the New York State Fair each year, and reservations cover the entire fair period as a single stay rather than a nightly rate - the 2026 package was $628 plus a $7.25 reservation fee per site, including two Fair admission passes. Confirm the current year's package price and dates before booking. This park's current pet policy could not be confirmed with confidence; check directly with the park before bringing pets.
