Camping information
The rally fee includes camping. RV's are $50 extra for sites with water & electric. Only 6 such sites are available and must be pre-reserved and pre-paid for by May 15th; be parked before noon Thursday; and stationary until Sunday morning. Small pop-up campers towed by your motorcycle are allowed with no restrictions or extra fees. Additional RV's and large campers towed by cars will have to camp in the alternate camping area next to the main pavilion and there will be no extra cost. Please e-mail for clarification if you are unsure. Vendors please call ahead to Sheila Kalahan.
A mobile camping service will be provided by Mayberry’s Sherpa Service. The service will save you time and energy by allowing them to do your work for you. They will provide a dome tent (single or double), air mattress, sleeping bag, pillow, chair and towel. In addition to supplying the campers with the camping basics, they will also set up and tear down your camp. Just ride up, find your tent, and then relax! www.sherpamayberry.com.
