This will be an unstructured gathering, so you will be free to do whatever you like or get together with your neighbors and organize a gathering if you like. I am sure this will be a great time. Folks will gather around if someone needs to repair something and help or just watch and give advice.

Come join us, I am sure you will have a great time!

So here are the details:
Dates:
May 10th to the 16th, 2026
Location:
Big Meadow Family Campground
Townsend, Tennessee
https://bigmeadowcampground.com/

I have booked May 10th to the 16th on site 64. The sites along this row are the longest pull through sites so if you are towing a trailer etc I would recommend one of these sites.
If other participants want to list their site numbers feel free to as you book your site.

The campground is right at the foot of the Smokey Mountain National Park, so there is lots to do and see. I would recommend bringing a toad to get around and see the sights.]]>

I will be the wagon master for this event if you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me through fb messenger.

The park is located on the Mississippi River
Dates:

We have 30 stone sites and 15 concrete sites
Price:
$40 for stone sites per night
$50 for concrete sites per night
payment is due upfront for the Rally as that is only way we can get and keep the group pricing.
I need to know your coach number and which type of site you would like. If all concrete sites are full you will be reserved under a stone site for the event
The Facebook group: Newell Coach Owners group is your best way of communicating on the event and keeping up to date on it.
Also the easiest way for me to keep track of everything for it as well is if rally members post on there, so I am not having to continue checking various platforms.
Pre coach numbers: please give me a the vin number that you give newell when you contact them instead, so i can have a way of listing you on my running spreadsheet for organization purposes which you can email or PM to me on here along with Year model as well.
