Local Area Guide

Campbell County Fairgrounds Travel Guide

We built this guide so your team doesn't have to figure it all out from a Google search. Neighborhoods, restaurants, game day logistics, local tips — it's all here.

Welcome to the Campbell County Fairgrounds, a central hub for community events and a frequent host for various sporting tournaments and agricultural showcases. This guide is designed for teams, families, and participants planning their visit, providing essential information to navigate the grounds and make the most of your time in Gillette, Wyoming. We'll cover arrival logistics, essential amenities, local dining, and area attractions to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

Section 01

Neighborhood Overview

The Campbell County Fairgrounds are situated on the northern edge of Gillette, Wyoming, a city known for its energy industry and its role as a gateway to the Bighorn Mountains. Access to the fairgrounds is primarily from Reata Drive, which connects to East Boxelder Road and then to US-14/US-16, the main east-west arteries through Gillette. The nearest major airport is Gillette-Campbell County Airport (GCC), located just a few miles southwest of the fairgrounds, offering limited commercial flights. Driving times from the airport to the fairgrounds are typically around 10-15 minutes, depending on traffic. For those arriving from further afield, Casper/Natrona County International Airport (CPR) is about a 2.5-hour drive south. Public transportation within Gillette is limited, making a personal vehicle or rideshare services the most practical options for getting around. To avoid congestion, especially during large events like the CAM-PLEX events or the County Fair, plan to arrive at least 30-45 minutes prior to your scheduled activity.

Section 02

Where to Stay

Lodging options in Gillette are concentrated primarily along the main east-west corridors (US-14/US-16) and near the CAM-PLEX convention center, which is adjacent to the fairgrounds. You'll find a range of hotels and motels catering to various budgets. The immediate area around the fairgrounds offers convenient access for participants, with many hotels within a 5-15 minute drive. While not a bustling urban center, the area immediately surrounding the fairgrounds is more focused on the exhibition and event facilities rather than extensive walkable amenities. For those seeking dining and entertainment, the main commercial areas of Gillette are a short drive away. Booking accommodations well in advance is highly recommended, especially during peak event seasons, which often coincide with summer holidays and major fair dates. Utilize map filters to locate hotels closest to the fairgrounds to minimize travel time on event days.

Festival Day Flow

Check-In & Warm-Up

As your team arrives, navigate to the designated parking areas, often clearly marked for specific events or zones within the fairgrounds. Allow ample time to find a spot, unload equipment, and make your way to the event check-in or registration area. Once checked in, proceed to your designated field, arena, or exhibition space for warm-ups. Familiarize yourself with the layout of your specific competition area, noting proximity to restrooms and water sources, which is crucial for efficient team preparation and comfort before the event begins.

Mid-Day Regroup

Between games or during breaks in your schedule, find a comfortable spot to regroup and refuel. The CAM-PLEX Plaza, adjacent to the fairgrounds, offers seating and often some shade, making it an ideal location for teams to gather, review strategies, or simply rest. Alternatively, utilize picnic areas if available or find a shady spot near your competition area. Hydration is key, especially during warmer months, so ensure easy access to water. This downtime is essential for maintaining energy levels and team morale throughout a busy day of competition or participation.

Wrap-Up & Departure

After your event concludes, allow for a buffer as other teams finish their activities. This is a good time for post-event discussions, collecting your gear, and making your way back to your vehicles. Be patient with traffic flow as attendees depart; adhering to any directional signage or event staff instructions will help ensure a safe and orderly exit. Consider a brief stop at a nearby restaurant or convenience store for a post-event snack or meal before heading to your accommodation, allowing the immediate crowd to disperse.
