County staff say fairgrounds campsites are available outside reserved events; QR-payment option proposed
Summary
Commissioners clarified that fairgrounds campsites are open to the public when not reserved, and staff proposed QR-code payment stations for RV camping to streamline fee collection.
A commissioner raised a constituent question about whether fairgrounds campsites were closed until Thursday; staff clarified the sites are open when not reserved for special events and that seasonal water shutoffs limit winter availability.
Staff proposed a low-friction payment option for transient RV campers, such as QR codes posted at camp spots to allow payment without a staffed booth. "They can absolutely [camp]," a staff member said, and added that water shutoffs and winter conditions are the practical constraints.
Next steps: staff will explore QR-code payment options and maintain standard procedures for reservations and facility access; no policy change was adopted during the work session.
