Designated Camping Areas: Camping is allowed only in designated areas. Each campsite will have specific rules regarding fire pits, noise levels, and waste disposal. Campsite Maintenance: Campsites must be kept clean and tidy. All trash must be disposed of in provided receptacles. Fire Safety: NO OPEN FIRES. You must also abide by the local fire restrictions. Quiet Hours: Quiet hours are from 10 PM to 6 AM. All noise must be kept to a minimum to respect the comfort of all campers. Wildlife and Environment: Do not feed wildlife. All flora and fauna within the camping area are protected. Avoid altering any site vegetation.

Yes. URide can be used as a transportation option for travelling to and from the IPE, subject to driver availability.

Guests can request a ride through the URide app. Because demand may be higher during major event periods, we recommend allowing extra time when arranging pickup.

No. The IPE does not currently provide a shuttle from Vernon, hotels, or surrounding communities to the fairgrounds.

Guests can use local taxi services or URide to arrange transportation.

There is a separate transporter service operating on the fairgrounds during peak periods, but this only helps guests travel between areas within the IPE grounds.

You can find the paid IPE parking lot off Wood Avenue. If you miss this parking lot, don’t worry there is a lot more paid parking all around the area! All vehicles must be parked in designated areas only. These areas will be clearly marked and include Main Parking Lot, Exhibitor Parking, and VIP Parking. No parking is permitted outside these designated areas. Armstrong does get busy during the fair. The downtown area does have parking but be aware of businesses that need their parking stalls for their own customers. If you are planning on coming to the fair all day, then consider paid parking through one of the many parking areas surrounding the fairgrounds. There are several groups including Girl Guides, Armstrong Elementary and Highland Park schools that also have parking during the fair.

Overnight parking is not generally allowed but if you need to leave your car overnight due to having so much fun at the beer gardens or the weekend dances the IPE agrees with your decision not to drive home and leave your vehicle overnight. IPE is not responsible for theft or damages. Please leave valuables left out of sight.

Whatever works for you! Whether you’re bringing a tent, trailer, motorhome, van, or even just your car, you’re welcome here. We’re all about making camping accessible, no matter how you roll in.
