Camping is available and a great way

CAMPING WITH RENTAL EVENTS

The Delaware State Fairgrounds offers overnight accommodations in the Grove Camping area and the Central camping area with electric and water hook-ups during the fair’s off season (August – June)** for approved rental event participants.

Features:

  • 30 amp service with some 50 amp service available

  • Water hook-up**

  • Dump stations

  • Restroom and shower facilities**

  • Some shaded areas

Harrington Raceway and Casino is located on the Fairgrounds at the North end of the property.  Customers can enjoy over 1,600 slots, over 30 tables and pull up a seat in their 100-seat poker room. Other seasonal activities include live Harness Racing.  Harrington Raceway is one of the nation's oldest racetracks and has run a race meet every year since 1946. The lightning-quick half-mile oval was reconstructed prior to the 2003 spring meet by veteran trackmasters Dan and Greg Coon. The renovations resulted in wider turns, and ultimately a faster racetrack which has produced many track and national seasonal records over a half-mile racetrack. Some of the sport's top drivers and horses can be seen nightly during our racing season.
