RV Rental for Washington County Fair in College Station, TX
Planning a trip to the Washington County Fair this September? An RV rental for Washington County Fair gives you a home base near the Washington County Fairgrounds in Brenham while keeping you outside the crowds and parking crush that come with one of the oldest continuously running county fairs in Texas. Fireside RV Rental serves the Brazos Valley out of the College Station, TX area, delivering travel trailers and motorhomes to campgrounds within easy reach of the fairgrounds along US-290 — so you can take in the livestock shows, carnival, and PRCA rodeo without driving back and forth to a hotel each night.
RV Camping Near the Washington County Fairgrounds
The Washington County Fairgrounds sit just off US-290 on the south side of Brenham, roughly 30 to 40 minutes from College Station via TX-6 and US-290. The fair itself has limited on-grounds RV space that goes to exhibitors and fills fast, so most visitors stay at a nearby state park or RV resort and make the short drive in. Because Fireside delivers and sets up the RV for you, you do not need to tow anything yourself or know how to back into a site — we level it and connect the hookups before you arrive.
Where RVs Park and Camp for the Fair
- Lake Somerville State Park – Birch Creek Unit — west of Brenham off TX-36 and Park Road, a popular full-hookup option about 30 minutes from the fairgrounds; book early since September weekends draw lake traffic.
- Lake Somerville State Park – Nails Creek Unit — on the southern shore near Ledbetter, a quieter alternative for fairgoers who don’t mind a slightly longer drive in.
- Stephen F. Austin State Park — near San Felipe off I-10, a reasonable base if you’re approaching from the Houston side via US-290.
- Texas Ranch RV Resort and Brazos Trace RV Resort — full-hookup private resorts in the Brazos Valley for travelers who prefer a developed park with longer pull-through sites.
- Lake Bryan — closer to the College Station and Bryan side, convenient if you’re combining the fair with a Texas A&M visit.

Can the RV Be Delivered to a Campground?
Yes. Delivery is how most fairgoers use our service. We bring the unit to your reserved site at Lake Somerville, a Brazos Valley RV resort, or another park within our delivery range, set it up, and return after the fair to haul it away. You skip the towing, the hitch, and the dump station. Learn more on our RV delivery page, or see our full service area on the Fireside Aggieland home page.
When to Book and What September Weather Is Like
The Washington County Fair runs in September, and that timing matters for two reasons. First, it overlaps with Texas A&M home football season in nearby College Station, which tightens RV availability across the Brazos Valley — booking four to six weeks out (or earlier for a fair weekend that coincides with a big game) is wise. Second, early-fall weather in Brenham stays hot: daytime highs commonly run in the upper 80s to low 90s with humidity, cooling into the 60s and low 70s overnight. A climate-controlled RV near the fairgrounds beats sitting in a tent through a Central Texas September afternoon, and the air conditioning makes a real difference after a day walking the midway.
September in Washington County can also bring afternoon thunderstorms and the tail end of hurricane-season moisture pushing up from the Gulf. Having a solid, dry, climate-controlled base at your campground means a passing storm won’t derail your fair plans.
Rental Options for Washington County Fair Visitors
Whether you’re bringing the family for the rodeo and livestock auction or coordinating lodging for a group showing animals at the fair, we have travel trailers and motorhomes suited to different group sizes. Travel trailers work well for families parked at Lake Somerville or a Brenham-area resort, while larger motorhomes suit groups that want more living space on a fair weekend.
Equipment, amenities, and package details vary by location and by unit, so we don’t list fixed inclusions here. Contact our College Station–area team for the current fleet, the full equipment list for each RV, and pricing for your fair dates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you deliver an RV to a campground near the Washington County Fairgrounds?
Yes. We regularly deliver to parks in the Brenham and Brazos Valley area, including the Birch Creek and Nails Creek units at Lake Somerville State Park and private resorts off US-290 and TX-6. Send us your campground reservation details and we’ll set the unit up before you arrive.
How far is the College Station area from the Brenham fairgrounds?
The Washington County Fairgrounds are roughly a 30 to 40 minute drive from College Station via TX-6 south to US-290 into Brenham. Because we deliver the RV to your campground, you only make the short hop to the fair and back.
When should I book an RV for the Washington County Fair?
Book as early as you can. The fair’s September dates fall during Texas A&M football season, which pulls RV inventory across the Brazos Valley. Four to six weeks ahead is a good target, and sooner if the fair weekend lines up with a home game in College Station.
What’s the weather like during the fair?
Expect a hot, humid Central Texas early fall — highs often in the upper 80s to low 90s, with cooler nights and the chance of afternoon thunderstorms. A climate-controlled RV at your campground keeps you comfortable between fair visits.
What’s included with the RV rental?
Inclusions, amenities, and packages vary by location and by unit, so we don’t publish a fixed list. Contact our College Station–area team at 979-353-1169 or [email protected] for the full equipment details and current pricing for your Washington County Fair dates.
