Cleveland County Fairgrounds RV Park — Local services in Norman

Updated January 2023 This so-called “park" was, for a long time, the perimeter of the empty parking lot of the Cleveland County Fairgrounds. Consequently many of these reviews and photos are taken of and written for the County Fair which occurs in the fall. The rest of the year offers various markets or events The actual RV park has always been an off-season use of the empty parking lot. They have now upgraded some of the gravel slots and created about 20 actual concrete RV slots which will make it easier to keep your unit clean. These 20 new slabs are nicely lit and all seem to have individual 50 Amp connections, water, electric and sewer. The park is convenient to most things in Norman, and is the only RV facility in town other than Walmart and Sam's. There are alternative RV parks but they are further up or down the highway. Scheduling is first come first serve. They do not accept reservations and even seem reluctant to let you know if slots are available. Just show up and take your chances. When I pointed out that their prices seemed high in comparison to parks that also offer picnic tables, showers, bathrooms, a pool, laundry and even a workout room (the short list of shortcomings of this “park”) they informed me that there was a state park about 17 miles down the road that I could use. But I have found the people in the office to be quite nice. If you cannot find a developed spot for your RV check the empty parking lot. There are power and water hook-ups but no sewage. The Wifi is terribly weak and not able to be used from most slots. On the new, developed, slots you may notice that the car/truck park is on the back side of your RV. Odd but not hard to live with. Overall the 20 new slots make this a much more comfortable stay. There are two entrances. The one on Robinson has a light but is pretty tight. If it is busy you may find this one to be difficult. Also, they have been working on the Robinson Gate and it is sometimes closed. The entrance on Porter is wider and less used but it has a bit of a hill. You may scrape pavement if your rig is close to the ground. Payment for your stay can be made in the Fairground office which is in the brick addition at the South end of the large metal exposition building. There is also a small kiosk near the Robinson St gate that has envelopes and a lock box for late arrivals. The park is considered a short stay park and long stays are discouraged and require permission in advance. Again, many of the photos and evaluations here are for the annual County Fair and should not be part of this RV park...

Stayed for about a week (weekly rate) and was great. They are adding some new sites on the North side of property with concrete pads and full hookups! Ours was still on the gravel site.

It is fairly quiet with some traffic noise but what d'ya expect being in town?!!

"Holly" in the office is very polite, friendly and helpful with tons of info about the area!

Hiking Trails near by.. Sutton Wilderness Trail Park.

Mountain Biking, Hiking, Boating, and Fishing at the nearby Lake Thunderbird.

Golf Course is near I-35 and Robinson St.

There are several grocery stores, hardware stores very close by as well..

Propane can be purchased at "OLG" Propane on 12th Ave NE & Main St about 1.5 miles away.

And if need, the Hospital is just across the street!!

Come on in and stay awhile and enjoy this wonderful...

If you stay in their RV Park be prepared for the following: theft of property, children of RV dwellers running amuck until after midnight 7 days a week without regard of others, loud parties (music) permitted after midnight (it's 2:33am) in their rental facility, people driving like crazy fools through the grounds. Sheriffs Dept was notified about all above complaints but to no avail. Norman PD says they can do nothing because it's county property inside the city limits. Just be aware that you're more than likely to get a better rest & respect boondocking it at the Walmart next to the interstate or if you want FHU for an affordable price go to Roadrunner RV Park...
