For NC State Fairgrounds: 29 ft motor home pulling a toad. A no frills campground but not expensive ($30/night), safe, and water, sewer, & 50amp power all worked for us. We stayed in the back of the campground in site 97 which was level and fit rig & toad. Site was gravel, grass & packed earth. Nice grassy area for walking our dogs. The check in process is different. No reservations but you can call ahead to check if sites are open. On arrival, you pick your own spot (so check power & water before deciding ) and call to have attendant come and complete the process. All sites are back in … but pretty wide. As noted in other reviews, there are few amenities other than hook ups and the road in is dusty and bumpy. Still , this is a gem if you want a modestly priced campground with great access to Raleigh/Durham.

For NC State Fairgrounds: Surprisingly nice place to stay - essentially a parking lot with hook ups on grassy sites. Our electric didn't work, but used the one next door since we only need 20 amps. Friendly security. Just choose a spot and call them to pay. Bathrooms and showers are available down the hill at the fairgrounds, but might be closed if there isn't anything going on there. No picnic table. Good for 1 night, friendly people.
Stayed March 2022 in 18' campervan

For NC State Fairgrounds: A very safe place to camp when visiting family in Raleigh. Full hookups but no bathhouse if you are not self-contained. Gravel, clay roads can be dusty and rough. Worked great for us.

For NC State Fairgrounds: The check in process has changed a bit. My suggestion is to cruise the campground selecting an open site. Careful to select a site that is not out of order. Since they are open year round they have a lot of frozen water connections. There were 20 ot of order in early April. I recommend you walk to the hookups and check for yellow tape, it can be easily missed from your vehicle. Once selected return to the checkin booth you passed on entering and call the number posted. Security will quickly arrive to complete the process.
I would say on this my fourth visit the sites are showing a need for some work. New gravel and perhaps fill in the low spots. Still an excellent location and a good choice. Remember there are no bathrooms or showers and picnic tables are not provided. Filled with large Class A and large trailers. At 21 feet I was by far the smallest unit here.

For NC State Fairgrounds: Positives: Friendly and helpful staff, convenience to the city of Raleigh, big park roads for backing in the camper
Negatives: no weekly or monthly rates, constant TRAIN traffic with whistles blowing with a railroad near the grounds, poor internet
Full hookups with 50 amp electricity are frequent.

For NC State Fairgrounds: Pleasant surprise!! Nice shade trees, well maintained grassy sights, level - full hookup. Super friendly security staff for checkin. Bigger sites than any KOA I have been to, other than the lack of bathhouse- rivals many state parks

For NC State Fairgrounds: Use gate H7 and bear left (behind the road that goes into the amhirse arena).
I'm always concerned about rv parks that are in town, but this one is tucked away to where the only traffic is Rv park traffic and there were a lot of rv people around all the time - it feel very secure.
This is a WONDERFUL place to be - I lived right down the road for 10 years. Everything from the triangle is convenient as well as the many events at the fairgrounds. Much excellent food is nearby, including my favorite sushi restaurant in the whole country, Waraji.
DO check out the arena/stadium schedule, just a block away, or you might duck out for a quick meals and end up with an hour drive back!
