Overnight Parking is located on the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in the Livestock Lots A, B or D (located to the west of the livestock and horse barns). Livestock and horse exhibitors who wish to park their camping and RV units on the fairgrounds during the State Fair must complete an overnight livestock parking reservation request.
The overnight livestock parking reservation request system will open May 27, 2025 at 8 a.m.
All requests made between 8 a.m. and 11:59 a.m. on the registration date, will be put into a computer-generated lottery and filled in that order. Anyone who successfully completes a request in the first four hours has an equal chance of securing a camping spot. Requests made at noon or later will be filled or wait-listed in the order in which they are date- and time-stamped by the online process.
The overnight parking online form is now part of the overall Minnesota State Fair competition registration system. You must login or create a user account before you can access the form. If you have entered livestock, horses or paid for overnight parking in previous years, you have a user account tied to your email address. You should login using that email address.
This short video will walk you through the new process and help you know what to expect when making your reservation request. Prefer written instructions? This document provides similar information.
Email notification of the status of all requests will be sent after June 12, 2025. Full payment is due for confirmed requests by July 11, 2025. Any confirmed spaces not paid for by July 11 will be reallocated to the next appropriate request. This document provides step-by-step instructions on how to submit your payment.
