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:

Hope to see everyone there,
Sharon (milmomx2) and Dave Crowe
