2024 East Coast Rally September 19-22, 2024

Hello East Coast ORVers!
The 2024 Rally will be held September 19-22 - this is the weekend after the Hershey show. The 2024 rally will be held in Chesterfield VA at Pocahontas State Park. We did recon at several state parks in the area and this one seemed best suited for our group. It is a large park - 7950 acres acres with 58 miles of hiking and biking trails. There are 3 lakes for fishing or boating (kayaking or canoeing). All sites have water and electric. and most are wooded. The park is about an hour Southeast from Richmond. There are Civil War Battlefields in the area for any history buffs.

We drove thru the entire park and have decided that sites 78-97 would be a great location for the rally. Sites in this loop (the loops are not named) are flat. If we fill up all of those sites there are many others in the area and in the park. In some areas of the park many of the sites have significant up or down slope. In addition, to the numbered sites there is a large area B3 which are buddy sites - 3 pads 3 electric and 3 waters. This area is a little more out in the open but has a large area where we could have the evening campfire. It is reserved a little differently. 1 person reserves the site B3 for $99/night and 3 trailers can stay on that site -all with their own pad and hook-ups. If someone wants to rent it and others want to be near them and share the cost it would be a good central spot. The pavilions can be accessed via a hiking trail or by car - there is a lot of parking available at the pavilions. I am planning to reserve pavilion 3 for the Saturday night potluck.
Reservations can be made 11 months in advance - October 19th is the first day to reserve sites.

I will be posting rally information on the ORV Facebook page/events and would like to also post them and this page but will need a little tutorial on how to use that site. If someone would email my personal email address: Sharoncrowe623@gmail.com with tips and basic instructions on how to use the IRV site I would appreciate it!

To reserve a site (beginning 10/19/23) : https://reservevaparks.com/web/ enter Pocahontas State Park and go from there.

If you have any questions, comments (or help with the IRV page) feel free to contact me via my personal email: Sharoncrowe623@gmail.com

Hope to see everyone there,

Sharon (milmomx2) and Dave Crowe

We missed the 2023 ECR because we already had plans from earlier in the year. Since we live in the Charlottesville, VA area we are relatively close and will get it on the calendar.

Reservation Reminder

Just a reminder that tomorrow is the 1st day to make your reservation for the 2024 east coast rally if you are arriving on the 19th. Reservations can be made 11 months in advance for those arriving on a different date.
We (Dave and Sharon Crowe) will be arriving on the 18th and have reserved Site #92 (a central location). I am suggesting Sites #78-97 and Buddy site 3 (B3) as these sites are near each other but there are many sites in the park.
Reservations can be cancelled (minus the $5 online fee) if your plans change after you have made a reservation. Once you make your reservation please send me your name(s) and site location. You can send to my personal email address sharoncrowe623@gmail.com. I will be setting up a grid on IRV2 as has been done in previous years.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Outdoors RV has a large factory sponsored Rally every year in Joseph, OR, down the road from the factory. Since there is only one dealer East of the Mississippi, ORV trailers are fairly rare in the East. So a few years ago, someone decided those of us in the East should have our own ORV rally. Its usually the one camping trip during the season when most of us aren't the only ORV in the campground.
