You can check with the tent company for tent rentals. The Arizona State Fair encourages vendors to place their tent rental orders early.

Organizers are limited in the number of RV spaces they can provide. RV permits, reserved parking spaces, and ground vehicle vouchers are available for online purchase by contracted vendors only. If you wish to apply for an RV space, please do so as soon as possible.
The Arizona State Fair does not guarantee RV spaces for every applicant. If the organizer is unable to accommodate your request, your payment will be refunded.
