Sedalia is the longest run we make, and the question that follows is whether we can meet you there on opening morning. We would rather not. The first-come campground issues permits in arrival order from a queue that forms before dawn, and a delivery truck sitting in it helps nobody. We bring the unit up the day before, or we wait until you hold a permit and a numbered space. Eleven nights is a long hold, so tell us early and the unit is yours for the run.
Eleven days in August
Travel Trailer Rentals for the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia, MO
The Only Confirmed Date We Can Give You
The fair publishes August 12 to 22, 2027 on its own site, and repeats it inside the camping pages. That makes this the one page on this site carrying a confirmed forward date rather than a pattern. It runs eleven days, which the fair confirms by selling an eleven-day exhibitor season wristband. The 2026 gate was $15 adult, $10 senior over 60, $4 youth 6 to 12 and free under 5, with grandstand tickets separate; 2027 prices are not yet posted. The fairgrounds is at 2503 W. 16th Street, Sedalia, MO 65301.
Getting a Trailer 112 Miles North
Sedalia is 112.5 miles from Marshfield, about 2 hours 25 minutes. That is far enough that towing your own would eat half a day, so we bring the trailer up, level it on your site, connect water and power and run you through the systems. Call +1 417-241-1006 once you have a campground spot and we will quote the haul with it.
Eleven nights changes the maths
Which Trailer Earns Its Keep Over a Long Fair?
A full eleven-day run is the longest booking anything on this site is built around, and it changes which unit makes sense. The Hideaway sleeps eight at $130 a day, so the whole fair comes to $1,430. The Freedom Finder sleeps nine at $140, the only unit in the fleet that takes a ninth body. The 2025 Campfire Cottage is the newest at $145 and sleeps seven. For a stay this long, counter space and fridge capacity matter more than maximum berth count, because you will be cooking rather than eating fair food for eleven straight days.
Nine Marshfield units, all towed. Seven travel trailers, the Carbon Cruiser toy hauler and the Whimsical Wheelhouse fifth-wheel. No motorhomes, which for a 112-mile haul to Sedalia is the reason delivery is the default rather than an upsell. You are not driving a rig up US 65 and you are not towing one either.
Layouts are on the large bunkhouse travel trailer page and the small travel trailer page. Start a request on the Wild RV Ventures booking page.
Two campgrounds, one of them shut
Where Do You Camp for the State Fair?
This is the part most pages get wrong, so read it before you plan anything. The fair runs roughly 730 reserved full and partial hookup sites with 50-amp service at $495 for the eleven days. Those are sold to returning customers first, and new customers do not book them. You email campgrounds@mda.mo.gov, join a waitlist, and get contacted in waitlist order if something opens. Telling you to reserve your spot would be misleading, so we are not going to.
The realistic path is the first-come campground, and it is a good one. Roughly 95 spaces with 50-amp service, water and sewer, on 60 acres west of the grounds on Clarendon Road, with dump stations, restrooms, showers and wifi. It runs $45 per day per unit, paid in full, no refunds, with a 2 percent card surcharge. Once the hookup sites fill, dry camping opens behind them.
The timing is the whole game. For the 2026 cycle the campground opened at 9am on the Friday before the fair, and from 7am that morning campers lined up through the Centennial Gate, Gate 12 on Highway 65, with permits issued in arrival order. Expect the same shape in 2027 and plan to be in that line early. Quiet hours run 11pm to 7am, the campground speed limit is 5 mph, pets must stay in your paid area on a leash, and golf carts carry a $100 fee. One genuinely useful detail: general public day parking at the fair is free, so the campsite is the only thing you actually pay the fairgrounds for.
Booking the August 2027 fair
Four steps when the good sites are spoken for
Step 01
Join the waitlist anyway
Email campgrounds@mda.mo.gov to get on the reserved list. Waitlist order is oldest first, so joining now costs nothing and may pay off in a later year.
Step 02
Plan for the first-come lot
Budget $45 a night for a 50-amp site on Clarendon Road and plan to be in the Gate 12 line early on opening morning. Permits are issued in arrival order.
Step 03
Book the trailer for the run
Ring +1 417-241-1006 with your dates. Eleven nights in the Hideaway is $1,430, so this is the one booking where the per-night difference between units really adds up.
Step 04
We haul it to Sedalia
We tow it the 112 miles, level it on your site, connect water and power and walk you through everything. Day parking at the fair is free, so you drive in and out as you like.

"Our weekend at Moonshine Beach was amazing thanks to this rig. It had plenty of storage for our floaties and grill. Easy to drive on Hwy 65, even with the weekend traffic."

"Rented a Class C for a family trip to Silver Dollar City. The RV climbed the Ozark hills with no problem. The kids loved the bunk beds, and the pickup in Springfield was super quick."
