Missing Grange Fair already? You’ll still be able to visit Grange Park this year as a camper

The Centre County Grange Encampment and Fair is canceled, but campers can still call the grounds home this summer.

Beginning June 4, the Grange Park in Centre Hall will open as a campground. You can bring summer staples like fires, grills, bikes and lawn games, and pets will be permitted, according to a Facebook post announcing “Getaway at Grange Park.”

The cost is $40 per night if staying in an RV and $30 for tents. More information is expected to be released soon, but the fair said it expects to allow one campsite per every electric pole, as state guidelines require them to be at least 45-feet apart.

The Centre County Grange Fair Committee announced last week that the 146th annual Grange Fair held in August is canceled this year due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
