Johnson County Fairgrounds Campground

We stayed here twice this year, for two weeks both in May and in October. Mostly 30A FHU sites with some 50As available. Sites are kind of small-ish and close together but if you get one of the end ones it's much nicer. For the most part it's very quiet during the week with some fulltime construction workers as neighbors. Usually busier on the weekends as there is something going on every weekend like a car show, horse show, craft fair, etc. Plenty of stores nearby and Franklin is a great small town for the DW to spend a few days.

There was a hard-to-find host in May and no host in October. Call the office ahead of time and make arrangements to let them know when you're arriving.

Don't just blindly follow GPS here unless you want to encounter some small secondary roads and/or nasty railroad crossings. If you're coming from the north with a big rig, take the Worthsville Road exit off of I65. Continue south on US31, turn right on Jefferson St and enter the main gates at 39.479797, -86.071503.

Large field behind fair ground buildings with narrow sites defined by small amount gravel on dirt. Host was friendly and helpful when the electric service at our first site didn’t work. We moved and it was fine. The campground was not crowded and served its purpose for a one night stop on our way. Franklin is a cute town, shops and restaurants.
