2024 Update

Next year's rally dates are June 19-23, 2024 and we will be hosting the event at Normandy Farms Campground once again.

We have secured 130 sites for the event.
The event IS NOT OPEN YET!
DO NOT TRY AND CALL THE CAMPGROUND YET.


So, that means you cannot go and book a site ahead of time and sneak in.
We have specific sites held for us and if you book outside of that or early you will not be able to be in the rally event.
We want to keep it fair.

This year registration will be a lot different.
We are working out the details and will let you all know how, when and were to book.

I can tell you it will not be until November, but we have a lot to work on before we can provide more info on the process.
We will be updating you sometime in September on everything.
 
My wife and I plan to go. We'll keep watching for registration details. Thanks Doug and Gail,
 
Mr. Chatman and I are excited to participate! However, I have a question which I will send privately
 
We are new to Grand Design also. 2500RL. Looking forward to the New England rally. Hope to see you there.
 
Any updates? Really excited to make one!

Who are you asking? Here are a few forum tips:

1) If you use "Reply With Quote" (to the right of "Reply") as I have here, folks will know to whom you are responding and that person will get a notification.

2) You can also tag folks using the "@" symbol and their user name (as I have done yours) - they'll also get a notification that way.

Sorry for the confusion, [MENTION=870]Second Chance[/MENTION]. I assumed the one that started the post would get the notification...
[MENTION=26900]THE Jodester[/MENTION], we're super excited about this rally (even more now that we're in Vermont!)... Did I miss the opportunity to register?

Thanks,

Obie

Link to understand ticket purchase is at bottom

We have now secured 158 sites at Normandy Farms Campground for our 2024 event. Registration will open on December 9th at 2pm EST. You will be purchasing a rally ticket on tickebud for a site, not calling the campground. After tickets are sold, you will be contact by Normandy Farms as to your actual site number and to pay them for the site fee which is seperate from the rally ticket price. PLEASE DO NOT CALL NORMANDY FARMS.

The fee for a rally ticket this year will be $100, plus fees, which includes 2 adults and all children under 5. Each additional person and all children over 5 will be $50, plus fees, per person. The cost for Normandy Farms for for 4 nights for FHU site for 2 people is $387. The no sewer, water, elec and cable only are $358.

Please note, ALL cancellations need to go through us and NOT Normandy Farms. If you call the campground to cancel you will not receive a refund for the site and we will lose the site for the rally. This happened several times last year and the people on our wait list lost out! Please make sure if you need to cancel for any reason you contact Jody and Heidi at [email protected]. The rally ticket fee is non-refundable.

We will be posting the link to purchase your tickets as we get closer. If you book a site outside of the block we have held, you will not be part of the rally!

Once the rally is sold out, we will be posting a notification option on the webpage. We will send an email out on Saturdays at 2pm EST if sites become available. It will be a first come, first serve basis. If no email is received on Saturday, that means there are no sites.

We are very excited for next year and have some great things planned. We look forward ot seeing you in 2024!
