Falluminum is getting closer

With school starting up in a few weeks our thoughts turn to cooler temperatures, Fall colors, and camping in the mountains.
Our Fall get together is coming up Oct 22 weekend...see more here and please like and watch our Facebook page


It looks to be another great weekend though maybe a smaller crowd with lots of  activities already planned at the campground this year.

How to Host a Rally

to host a Rally;

You need a campground or park that you can host the approximate number of camper you expect.
Contact the management and check to see if they will hold some number of sites for your rally.
This will make sure no one that wants to attend is left out. Agree with the park manager on  a date when they can release the untaken sites. This way everyone is happy and part of the process.

Find one that has facilities that will attract the campers. Full hookups for electric, water and maybe sewage would be great. Many can deal with lack of sewage but the electric and water are a must.
WiFi is a great and desirable option, as is cable TV. Sure this is camping, but folks want their creature comforts.
If you decide to go without these options, your group may enjoy the serenity. Just sayin'...

I prefer parks with a pool or lake. Water is a draw and will make the event even more fun.

Our North Georgia Vintage Trailer Rallys

(I started putting together rallys for Vintage Trailer Enthusiasts (and Motorhomes, and newer units too) in 2001. I had just recently purchased a Classic Airstream Motorhome and helped put together an online group of similar owners to chat about how to maintain and improve our prized classics.


 We came up with the idea of having a meet-up at an " \Airstream only" park in the Florida panhandle. Most of us had never seen another classic motorhome and were anxious and excited.


We had 7 units show up with dogs and kids and lots of food. This was a whole lot of fun and a great learning experience as well.
Being a bit or an organizer, this led to rallys in Georgia at a number of different campgrounds and state parks over the next few years. Attendance increased as time went on and we sought a spot where we could host more attendees, and hopefully one that was scenic as well as comfortable in that it would have hook ups for us who did not boon dock.
We found this and more in the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds, Campground. Located on Lake Chatuge and surrounded by the blue Ridge Mountains, this spot was perfect for us. Full hook ups available and most all sites with lake view or waterfront locations. Fine pavilion facilities and bath houses.
In the 9 (or is it 10?)years since the first rally at this park, we have hosted twice a year get togethers, one in October a week before Halloween, and one in April not to conflict with Easter, and Passover.


This blog will focus on being a spot for photos, and information about past and upcoming Rallys.
Hopefully it will help you to know what is going to happen, when and where.
