Fellow campers the time has come to finalize your reservation with Ozarkoutdoors. If you have requested a specific site, please let them know which site you have “reserved.” Their number again is 15732456837 or you may visit their web page at https://ozarkoutdoorsresort.com/.

I’m truly excited to camp, meet new friends, and reconnect with old friends!

Fellow Campers, below is a list of everyone who has registered to date. If you are planning to attend and your name is not on this list, I urge you to contact Ozark Outdoors as soon as possible while there are still a few sites available for our group. If you have a friend who is looking for a fun rally, encourage them to attend. Campers should be pre 1980 (or based on a pre 1980 design). Exceptions will be considered on a case-by-case basis. We have a great rally planned. Stacy Drane has volunteered to plan a variety of fun activities for all who choose to participate. As always, there will be river floating, cave tours, hiking and other fun activities available at the Resort as well. We will provide donuts and coffee Friday and Saturday morning as well as campfires at the group site in the evenings. Saturday we will have an open house mid-day (hours to be announced). Be prepared to show off your pride and joy camper to your camper friends. There will also be a potluck dinner Saturday night. We look forward to camping with all of you in June.

As a reminder, there will be a rally fee of $20 per camper to help defray the costs of the group site and group activities. This needs to be paid on or before your arrival. Cash, check or Venmo will be fine.

8th Annual Audrey's Jingle in July 2023
2023-07-13 13:00 - 2023-07-16 11:00 | BC
Vintage Trailer Rallies of the Southeast is pleased to announce after a one year hiatus to North Carolina Audrey’s Jingle in July is returning to Sun Outdoors, formerly River Plantation in Sevierville / Pigeon Forge Tennessee! This event will be bigger and better than ever before with great entertainment, fun and games! Bigger and better prizes, raffles and auction items! Updates will be posted in the discussion section on this event page!
DO NOT CALL THE CAMPGROUND DIRECTLY FOR RESERVATIONS OR RESERVE ONLINE! THEY MUST BE DONE BY CALLING THE NUMBER LISTED BELOW!
Why is our event named Audrey’s Jingle in July one might ask. Well here is a snippet of her story:
Audrey was diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma when she was 11 months old. After a strong two year battle with the disease, she went into remission and has remained there for over 12 years now! At our first event Audrey was asked by Children’s Hospital to stop by the event and check it out. It turned out that she was leaving for the camp we supported at the time the next day. It was also her first year to attend and she was very excited. Audrey’s smile made all of us who met her, truly realize what a difference we make with our Charity Open Houses. Audrey’s mother told us that the charity we were supporting would be helping over 50 sick children attend camp for a week. After touring the vintage trailers and meeting Santa and Mrs. Claus Audrey left the campground but she left with us a desire to strive to help others as well as the most genuine smile one has ever seen! Audrey now has a vintage Shasta in her possession of her very own that she named Jingle and joins us at our Jingle rally each year. She has also become quite the celebrity as she has met and sang with Dolly, got a shout out from Marie Osmond, does local commercials, is an Ambassador for East Tennessee Children’s Hospital and 2019 National Champion for The Children’s Miracle Network!
Our open house funds now support Evergreen Elves of Sevier County. This group founded by Brooke Ownby and Audrey’s Mom Krista supply Christmas trees to be decorated by volunteers to be given out to the sick and needy children in Sevier County as well as Santa Buckets to homebound seniors and those in the nursing home.
We have raised nearly $15,000 at this event for charity in the past 7 years. and are hoping to break $18,000 in 2023.
We will be expanding the event to include more activities and events. We will have an open house on Saturday. We will have a breakfast on Saturday morning provided by a local scouting group as a fund raiser for them at your cost (around $5 per person) and a on site food truck on Saturday evening (your cost). There will be entertainment, campfires and games as well as prize giveaways, raffles and an auction. We will also do a Dirty Santa gift exchange for those wanting to participate as well. The campground as well will be tying in Christmas related events for the entire event including a Christmas Parade. Please respond on this event page by clicking the going button if you plan to attend. They are holding 40 sites for us at this time. You will call Lisa at number listed below to make your reservations. Reservations open Thursday July 21st 2022 at 9:00 am.There will be a $20.00 per person rally fee for all participants over the age of 16 and $10 per child 16 and under. Children 7 and under free.

7th Annual Shadow of the Bear Rally
2023-09-14 08:00 - 2023-09-17 17:00 | Orchard Beach State Park, 2064 Lakeshore Rd, Manistee, MI, 49660, United States
We are very excited for TCT’s 2023 Shadow Of The Bear Rally at Orchard Beach State Park. The park and Tin Can Tourists have been friends for over a century. Last year was wonderful, we had such a good time! Many of our campsites have a view of Lake Michigan. As we sat at our campsites, enjoying each others company, we watched the eagles soar, riding on the thermals over the lake. It was so cool! We enjoyed taking our meals in the moved and refreshed Pavilion. The size of the Pavilion will accommodate all of us – as many of us as are in attendance can enjoy our meals together. Because the local area is so beautiful, our agenda allows for lots of “touristing” time. The park’s rangers have recommended a block of sites for our gathering. They are highlighted in white on the site map at the end of this letter. Please note: The sites highlighted offer the best view of the lake and mature trees providing ample shade.

We will use “The Pavilion” for Fun, Food, & Fellowship. The building is an easy walk from our campsites. You can also drive to it. In the event of rain or gale force winds, “The Pavilion” will be our go to for fires and conversations.

Open House: NO Open House this year.
