Rules listed below:

RESERVATION LIMITS/SUBLEASING

Each person may make no more than one (1) site reservation. Reservations are for the individual who

placed the reservation and their associated camper/vehicle only for the length of time necessary.

“Subleased” spots, in which the individual making the reservation allows a third party to later occupy his

or her spot after he or she exits the Ohio State Fair, are strictly prohibited. This means that individuals

cannot make a reservation, stay for a portion of the leased time, pull out and then let his or her

friend pull in. Violators may be towed and prohibited from booking future camping reservations.

HOURS AND CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT

Campground is open from July 18 – Aug. 9, 2026.

All campers must vacate campground no later than MIDNIGHT on Aug. 9, 2026.

Check-in time begins at 3 p.m. for all days EXCEPT July 18th. Campers may begin camping July 18th

after 9 a.m.

If RV/camper will be late on arrival, they must notify the camping office at 614-644-4191 no later

than 6 p.m. on the day of check-in. Otherwise, the reservation will be forfeited the following day

and an automatic one-night charge of $60 will apply. The remaining reservation amount will be

refunded to the original form of payment. Check-out time is no later than noon. All campers must

exit the campgrounds no later than noon on their scheduled departure date. Check-in and check-out times will be strictly enforced. Guests who do not move their camper by the required check-out

time will automatically be assessed a $100 penalty. Violators will be towed. Please see below for

information on extended stays.

The campgrounds will be patrolled. If a purchased spot is found to be vacant or being leased to

another camper fraudulently using another owner’s permit and reservation, both violators may be

prohibited from booking future camping reservations.

Campers may not be removed from the premises and returned during the reserved stay. If a

camper is removed prior to the reservation end date, the campsite will be forfeited and no

refund will be issued.

Draft Ponies / Haflingers

Draft Ponies – General Rules

1. For dress code and special hitch rules refer to general rules and regulations at the beginning of the Draft Horse Division.
2. A Draft Pony, as advised by the HHPCS director, is a scaled-down version of the established Draft Horse breeds, such as, but not limited to, Belgian, Percheron, Clydesdale, Shire, Suffolk, American Cream, and Spotted Draft. While maintaining the key confirmation characteristics of a draft horse, the primary distinguishing feature of a Draft Pony is its smaller size. Notably, color is not a determining factor in breed standards and should not be a point of discrimination.
3. Any grievances in the Draft Pony classes based on Draft Pony characteristics will be deferred to the HHPCS if show management deems necessary.
