FAQ:
Is The Rally limited to only BMW motorcycles?
Not at all. All makes are very welcome as long as they are QUIET! Please be careful and courteous when riding in the area-- let's be good guests! There are some seasonal campers and community residents who will be using other areas of the park.
Are there RV spots?
Yes, anywhere you can fit for primitive or some electric. For full hookups, contact the park to reserve ahead.
Is there anything I should know about riding in the area?
Yes, watch for DEER and very SLOW MOVING Amish buggies!
How many attend the Rally?
For the last few years, attendance has been right around 200.
Can I arrive early or extend my stay?
Yes, the park manager is normally very accommodating. Thursday early birds are welcome, but we'll be setting up.
I just want to stop by for a couple hours to check out the bikes and vendors,
why do I have to register and pay?
Events like our Rally take a lot of money to put on. Many thousands of dollars actually. Not to mention, respecting the hudreds of volunteer work hours.
Also there is the concern about security. We need to know that the people who are there belong there.
They will check for wristbands and anyone without one will be asked to register or leave the rally site.
What if I still have questions?
Get in touch with someone on our Contact Officers page and they will help you out.
