2024 Sponsoring Accommodations


Tent, camper and small RV camping is available

The University has set aside an area of campus to accommodate riders who want to reduce their costs by camping. 

We have arranged to provide a communal port-a-jon and basic hand washing facilities for campers.  To cover this cost there will be a $10 per person charge.  In order to make sure we adequately accommodate those who want to camp, you must notify us by noon on Friday July 12.  While we will accept payment at registration, we will facilitate pre-payment by sending you an invoice in advance that you can pay by credit card.

Contact Rick (828 450 8040) or Connie (828 450 8456) to let us know if you want to camp.  Location information will be provided at Friday registration/packet pick-up between 3 pm and 6 pm.
