Napa Valley Expo RV Park

I really wanted to love it because it’s got full hookups, nice concrete pads and a fantastic location. However there are two big negatives—The bathrooms are always dirty. We stayed 4 nights and they were never cleaned and no toilet paper one full day. Also our site was infested with ants. If we would have been warned about this at check in and told to spray around our camper we could have prevented the infestation inside our camper. They got into all our food cabinets and we had to throw out a lot of food. The food was somewhat sealed for normal camping but not for camping on an ant farm. It took two days to finally eliminate the ants by using sprays inside and out, and traps inside. The same thing happened on a site two sites away to two different reservations. Obviously it’s a problem on certain sites.

For those reasons we would never camp there again.

Great park! Walking distance to downtown and to Oxbow market (both are about a 14 minute walk).
You can easily walk to wine tasting and great restaurants! Also an easy walk to the farmers market on Saturdays.
The place is clean and neat, lots of attention to up keep. Most sites are pull through and were easy in and out. Full hookups at every site with 30 and 50 amps.
I was very happy with the spacing, there is a nice amount of space between sites, and you get a strip of grass in your front yard with a picnic table.
Also, there were apple trees with apples all over the park!
The staff was welcoming and knowledgeable about the area.
You should note that this is located in the town of Napa, it is not out in the country. We had no issues with noise and slept very soundly. I do want to note that there will be the rare train that goes by and a very small amount of vehicle sounds. We were in #8 which is on the entry road, and it seemed very calm and quiet to us.
You should also note that the wifi did not reach to most of the park and can only be used for email, no video.
The camp host said that upgrades should be coming in the future.

If you are looking for a park to stay in while you are enjoying Napa, this is the one!

This is a clean, efficient RV Park whose sites are large (long, concrete pad) and well-equipped (full hook-ups, some with sewer, and garbage cans shared between 2 sites) but with no trees and very little green. The location is great for visiting Napa and all it has to offer.

The adjacent road is heavily trafficked and very noisy in the early morning, You will not sleep without ear plugs. Still, this would be a good place for a safe over-night, nothing long-term, except for one major thing. The camp host (very nice, friendly guy) has no control over site selection. There is a system that assigns spaces based on an algorithm. This is something I've never experienced and not only is it a bad sign of things to come, it results in a very frustrating experience.

With approximately 36 sites, 8 occupied when we arrived, it left plenty of sites that had no one on either side, yet we were placed between two larger RVs. At check-in we asked how to request a second night if we wanted to stay over and were told we would have to unhook and drive around to the office so the "algorithm" could reassign a site.

Hard to believe we've reached this point with all the other problems that burdens the industry. I encourage you not to support this system. When we reach the day of automation with no people involved in the process, it will be a bad thing, not a good one. This is not COVID driven as the camp host still greets you, takes your credit card and gives you the WiFi password and your site, assigned by the algorithm. Feels like a dress rehearsal for having all things done online with no need for the camp host and no opportunity to change things that are not a good fit for your individual needs.

This is a great facility. The sites are large and most are 75-foot long pull throughs. Full hookups in all sites. The pads are concrete and over twelve feet wide. Easy to get into and to level. Large grass areas between the sites. The facility is quiet, well lighted, clean and well maintained. Great location close to a number of tasting rooms (including our favorite, Gabrielle). You wouldn't know you were in town. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Our thanks to Kenny (camp host) for making it such a great place to stay. Reservations can only be made on-line (on-site staff are not allowed to make reservations). We were camping in a 35 ft. 5th wheel with 3 pop-outs. The give a discount for Good Sam and AARP, maybe others.

The park is centrally located with easy access to a lot of different activities. It is clean and well maintained. On the last day of our stay we left for a few hours and when we came back our bikes had been stolen off the rack on the back of our rig. The cable was cut and our new Specialized Rock Hopper’s we’re gone. We notified management who stated that he saw two guys walking around with a duffle bag that looked out of place and that maybe he should have asked them what they were doing. That probably would have been a good idea. Hard lesson for us to learn so just be aware so that you can put your bikes inside your rigs when you leave for the day.

The staff are friendly but You literally are camping next to animal stalls, no animals were there but the aftermath was. The bathroom was fairly clean. There were so many cats roaming around that our poor dogs were losing it! Nice level spots with grass patches in between. We booked two nights and left after one because it was just ok. We won’t be back

As people who typically camp in public parks we had some sticker shock at the price to stay at the Napa fairgrounds, but overall felt it was a fair price for the location and amenities. The park is superbly maintained, with spotless concrete pads, small grassy areas between sites, and new-looking picnic tables. Most sites are pull-throughs and very long. We had 20+ feet to spare in our pull-through site. The bathrooms were also spotless, and shower water temps were nice and hot. There is no real privacy between the sites, but no one is coming to Napa to hang out in the campground.

The real reason to stay at this park is the excellent location. It is within easy walking distance of downtown Napa and the Oxbow Public Market, and being in the town of Napa puts the Napa Valley wineries within very easy driving distance. The town of Napa has plenty of shopping (Wal-Mart, numerous grocery stores, all the chain big boxes, etc.) and a gas station on every corner. Overall, we found Napa to be very pricey (even as compared to nearby Sonoma Valley) but we would probably stay at this park on a future visit to the area even if we chose not to visit the costly Napa wineries. Our price reflects a Good Sam discount of 10% ($60 - $6).

As noted by a prior reviewer, access to the park is from Silverado and only from the southbound lane. It's sort of a blind turn so pay attention when arriving. The signs directing campers to the camphost are small and obscure, especially in low light, so be aware that new arrivals need to drive all the way to the end of the campground and around the back of the office/shower/laundry building to get to the registration area.

Internet service in town on AT&T was blazing fast.
