On-site dry camping is in a group area, in or near the main Expo area. It will not be a spectacular scenic campground - we are emphasizing the education and social times. You won’t spend much time at camp anyway.

We will also have areas for more remote camping identified, away from the Expo area but within 5 - 25 minutes driving, on Forest Service or private land.

GET TRAINED, GET INSPIRED ~ GET GOING!

Classes & seminars will be held under shade ramadas, in a classroom, or out on Forest Service roads.

Overland Experience registrants will be able to sign up for individual classes starting in February (by email notification).

Classes and demos open to everyone are first-come with open seating.
