Isabella County Fairground

How does a campground combine well-kept simplicity with an unexpected variety of attractions? The Isabella County Fairgrounds Campground in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, offers a straightforward camping experience with 73 grass RV sites, water and 30/50 amp electric hookups, and a dump station, all set within the dynamic setting of a bustling fairground.

The sites at this county-managed facility are mostly level, offering a mix of pull-through and back-in options that can accommodate even larger rigs. While the layout reflects a traditional fairground style—open and less secluded—the campground excels in functionality, making it ideal for short stays, event-focused visits, or those seeking a no-frills overnight spot. Seasonal highlights include live horse racing on weekends and a popular flea market every Wednesday from May to September, adding unique opportunities to any stay.

Just two miles from downtown Mount Pleasant, the campground offers convenient access to Central Michigan University, the Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort, and the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe’s cultural attractions. For a touch of the outdoors, nearby parks provide hiking, fishing, and boating opportunities within a 30-minute drive, enhancing the campground's appeal as a gateway to the region’s recreational offerings.
