Yuba Sutter Fairgrounds — Local services in Yuba City

This is my honest opinion of RV camping at the Yuba Sutter Fairgrounds. Important to keep in mind that this is not the usual RV campground scenario where the main goal is to acquire campers to stay on the grounds. This is a county fairground that is essentially offering its grounds to campers when the fairground is not in use, I assume primarily to keep money flowing into the coffer. I got the feeling that campers are mostly tolerated at best. The camping photos (and RV camping map) on the website show the beautiful grounds for the campers, however, that must be primarily for winter camping. After a few weeks of camping on the grounds and as the weather grew warmer, we were told to move to the smallest section of the fairgrounds not pictured on the website, abutting Garden Highway, a very busy road with traffic noise that runs all night. After some discussion with management about the nightly traffic noise in that section, we were allowed to stay at our original location, but at a higher fee than what we were previously paying. (The website now addresses the price difference between the two sections, where previously it did not.) The bathrooms/showers are adequate, not heated and not all that clean. There really aren’t many other options for camping in or near Yuba City. It’s a pretty spot and we mostly enjoyed our stay, however, I would not stay in the campground section next to...

Went to the Guides dinner last night and had the worst experience I’ve ever had entering any event. The security that is contracted through the fair grounds was so unprofessional, upon entering they were waving the metal detector on everyone, when one of the guards touched my hair ( like patted ) my hair and told me how soft and pretty it was! Umm ok 😦my husband asked him to not touch me again the guard started laughing and said “watch it sir, I can ruin your night by not letting you enter.” Whatever this guy is a punk who thinks he has power with pepper spray. We make it in a little while later I had to run back to my car to grab a check... I was told I had exactly 3 minutes or I wouldn’t be aloud back in. Umm I paid $100 for a ticket I’m getting back in.( wonder if they were going to time me). This has nothing to do with the Guides dinner and the people who put it on, we were told they had no control of security. I hope whom ever runs the fair see’s this and addresses this.I’ll definitely be calling first thing in the morning and hoping I’m able to speak to someone in person about these...

As a mother when i heard the commercial for the fair i got excited, it was presented to be more affordable this year. For adventure pack its 52.50 . My family being a family of 5 and havong 50 tickets which is what comes in the adventure pack we only got to ride 2 rides . It was hard to tell where any line began or ended a corn dog which was by no means tasty was 7.00$ . The new family rides were not big enough half the time for the whole family to participate in so the small child would have to go on their own and by no means was the staff helpful specially on the kid fun houses/slides one child got scarrd at the top of a bridge frozen in fear the line behind him started to get big kids were shaking this little rope bridge they were standing on while the worker watvhed untol parents started yelling. nothing at this place was truly affordable for a big family with limited income i will not be returning due to false advertising and lack of caring for the people...
