Sailingfree and Mwowenby, where would you like to camp at? I am glad your in, but we need a little more input.
Campdad, sounds like you have the makings for an awesume campground in the works! Get us some power and a bath house and you would probably have some "frequent vistors"! LOL. On a serious note, I would like to know how far are you and Surgipat and the others from Alabama willing to travwl for the rally. We haven't set the location yet. I am hearing veterns state park, amenity, Mckinney has been suggested again. They all sound great! Lets get a majority. We need to hear from the former rally members and future rally members- yz10??? & Carolina Campers! Thanks for input Belchfire! Come on Florida members, need yours as well and anybody else who might want to attend! :baseballhat:
Our Zip is 35404. We would like to stay within a 5 hour drive from our place. But we had such a great time at the Fall Rally, we'd certainly be willing to extend that range.
Camp Dad, that is a super offer to rally on your land, but I just don't think I can get by without my microwave and Mr. Coffee. 🙂
Veteran's has a nice lake with a beach and kayaks/canoes for rent. Lots of walking trails with geocaching. And it's probably 2 hours or more south of Atlanta and right off the interstate.
But I'm not trying to "sell" you guys on Veteran's. Anything in that general vicinity would be equally amenable to all. For that matter, I've always wanted to visit Providence Canyon, but there's no lake there. It's not far from Andersonville Prison, for those history buffs who would like to see that.
edit: I just noticed that Providence doesn't actually offer RV camping. That's on a different site. Oh well; it sounded like a good idea.
I have been looking at travel distances and I came across Wind Creek State Park Alabama. It is on Lake Martin and looks like a nice place. I have never been there, so all I know about it is what I read. Looks like Mtnkube would be the furthest away (about 4.5 hours). Everyone else is 3.5 hours or less. I may have overlooked someone, if so sorry :-[ It's not really close to no one, but equally long distance for everyone. Lol.

I don't think we will find a full facility camp ground for under $20.00 per night. Last Rally at McKinney rates were $24-28.
I had forgotten the rates, probably because we got a good discount. Do you know if the America The Beautiful Senior Pass applies at Veteran's like it did at McKinney?

I believe the "America the Beautiful pass" only applies to federal facilities. Both Veterans memorial and Wind Creek are state parks. McKinney was federal.
