Fleetwood RV Camping Resort
Located just off Speedway Boulevard (I-85, exit 49), the Fleetwood RV Racing Camping Resort near Charlotte, NC is a short walk from the front stretch of America's premier race place, Lowe's Motor Speedway. The rally park is a short drive from the shopper's paradise of Concord Mills, and is adjacent to the renowned Rocky River Golf Course.
The campground reservation number is 704-455-4445, but approximately 25 spaces are being held for the SE Bus Nuts, and no advance reservation is needed. Just show up, register and pay for camping, and a then rally volunteer will sign you in for the rally and direct you to our location. Our camping rate is $25. per night, separate from the rally fee. Arrive early if you like!
All sites are equipped with electricity, sewer, water hookups and a picnic table. An open Pavilion is available to us that features a kitchen, stage, and large seating area that have hosted many prior rallies. A modern restroom and shower facility completes the amenities.
Fishing is allowed in the ponds on the camping property on a fish and release rule. The lakes were originally stocked with 200 bass, 100 shell crackers, 200 bluegills and 100 catfish. There are benches and swings by the ponds so our guests can sit back and relax while they wait on the "big" one to bite.
Boat Tour event:
On Friday the rally will car pool to Queen’s Landing on beautiful Lake Norman, for a 1-1/2 hour sightseeing and luncheon tour of the lake. Both Jack Campbell and son Jerry and their families have spent most of their adult lives on the Lake, and both will be on hand to add to the narration. The Catawba Queen, our vessel, is a replica Mississippi Riverboat paddlewheeler. A light lunch and soft beverages are included, and a full cash bar is also available. You’ll view many exquisite homes, beautiful wildlife, and the natural beauty of the lake, including some of Jerry Campbell’s docks and piers!

The rally this year will be held on September 11-14, 2008 at the same location as last year, Eisenhower State Park near Dennison TX. Paved parking in a group area with 30 amp/water hookups. We will reserve 15 but there is room for quite a few more. Dump Station is located in the another area of the park. There is a pavilion where we will have some catered Texas Style BB-Q's. This guy knows how to put on a food show Texas Style! Fire Pit location is located at the Amphitheater close by, Thursday and Friday evening only.
More information will be posted at a later time, a few details are still being worked out. Just wanted to get the word out now. You don't have to own a coach to attend, just being a wannabe will work. Bring your coach finished or not. All brands are welcome, even the rusty ones! Put it on your calendar for some great Food, Friends and Fun and kick a tire or two! Happy Trails, Paul
