Why Attend
Why You Should Attend our Rally
Our annual RV campout allows you to find community on the road while RVing to, within and from Alaska. Join us for a week of fun, food and friendship with like-minded travelers who are also RVing around Alaska from all over the North America and beyond.
Unique Setting
Located inside Denali State Park this property is rich in heritage and beautiful to behold. Relax and recharge in peaceful surroundings as we take over this unique historic lodge's airstrip for 5 days and 5 nights of boondocking fun.
Great Activities
Lots of activities are planned throughout the week including daily happy hours and campfires, a game night, group hikes, coordinated excursions and so much more.
Meet New People
There is nothing better than making new friendships on the road. At our Rally we make it easy for you to connect with like-minded folks on the road to Alaska that will last a lifetime.
Have Fun
The most important goal of our Rally is to have fun! We purposely don't jam pack the schedule so you can enjoy your time in camp or you may explore the Denali State Park area on your own.

Rally FAQ's
Do I have to book all five nights during the Rally?
Yes. It’s a package deal and can’t broken up by how many days you can stay. You can leave early or come late but you will be paying for the entire event. No refunds for unused time.

TBA soon.
Can I book a Cabin instead of an RV Site?
Absolutely. We have a small limited number of cabins available to rent if you do not have an RV or need extra space due to extra guests with your party. The cost of a cabin is separate from an RV site but you would still have full access to all Rally activities and events.
Do we eat all meals together?
No. We share a total of three meals together as a group. The first night is our fully catered arrival dinner where you leave the cooking up to us. The other two meals we will be having together is a potluck breakfast on Thursday morning and a potluck dinner on Sunday. All other meals you are responsible for on your own. Note every evening we do hold a happy hour at 4pm and evening activities will reconvene at 7pm.
