RV rentals for Neshoba County Fair - MS

The Neshoba County Fair is a weeklong summer celebration that runs Friday to Friday, traditionally in late July, though recent editions have moved to the second half of June. Set on historic fairgrounds off Highway 21 southwest of Philadelphia, Mississippi, the fair is famous for its rows of colorful family cabins, harness and running races on the half-mile clay track, nightly country concerts, a midway, livestock shows and the political speeches at shady Founders Square. The atmosphere feels like a giant family reunion, with neighbors visiting from porch to porch long after dark. Expect hot, humid Mississippi summer weather with highs often in the 90s and the chance of a pop-up afternoon thunderstorm. Few events capture small-town Southern tradition like this one, and the town of Philadelphia, the nearby Pearl River Resort and a handful of local hotels fill up quickly during fair week. That is where an RV really shines, because you can bring your lodging with you and stay close to the action instead of commuting from a distant hotel. The fair itself has a long-standing camper tradition, with RV sites wrapping around the grounds, and RV parks such as Frog Level RV Park, Burnside Lake Park and Neshoba County Lake sit just a short drive away. After a long, steamy day at the races, you can retreat to air conditioning, a cold drink from your own fridge and a private shower. Sharing one rig also helps groups and families split costs on lodging and transportation. Best of all, an RV lets you join the fair's true spirit, setting up camp chairs outside your door and swapping stories with neighbors just like the cabin crowd does.
