trailfest 12

was just wondering if anyone isgoing to trailfest this year? i been reading old post and seems the dates always fall on the fall ride..anyoone know the dates for the fall ride yet? would like to go to both if on seperate dates..thanks..and if anyone is going to trailfest where is the best place to camp with a motorhome?

Carolinarhino and myself have been thinking about going this year. I have always wanted to go...Maybe we'll see ya there.

I think we're gonna try to go .... if the dates are different.

I haven't checked the dates yet.....

Trailfest Oct. 4-8

There will be 4 of us there depending on the date too.

great..so any good places there to camp with a camper? any suggestions?

They have a field just past the Larry Joe Harless center that they turn into a campground during trailfest and that's where all the activities and showers and food are. There's no hook ups for electric or sewer though.

Would like to check it out some time as well.

Do they have hotels or cabins close by?

There's all kinds of house's and stuff if you stay in Gilbert. Just get on the Hatfield McCoy's web site and start looking. The only campground that I know of is Twin Hollow http://www.twinhollowcampground.com/ it's on top of the hill above Gilbert, you ride by it after you go throught the tunnel (pipe) heading down the connector into Gilbert. I've never stayed at any of them so I can't say what any of them are like. This place looks nice and the owner is super nice,my alternator went out on my truck in front of his house on my way home in 2010 and he gave me a ride to Man to get a new one and helped me put it on.

I would say if your going you had better book a place soon or they will all be gone.

when does anyone think the dates will be set for the fall ride? i would rather do that but if the dates are different then guess i better hurry and find a place to stay..

pm bobby d and ask him.

If it's on the same week then maybe we do a day at trail fest then drop down and make the fall ride.

I would be willing to stay at twin hollow just because of that... He sounds like a great guy.

Sorry it was the Hawks nest guy that helped me. the link went in the wrong spot.

I have stayed at Twin Hollow twice and really enjoyed it both times.
You can rv camp, tent camp, or get a cabin. They book fast though.

The views are beautiful for the camp ground is on top of a mountain.

The facilities are very good. You will like it and it is on the Browning Fork trail.

I reserved my camp spot last year when we left. We will be staying at Twin Hollow Camp Ground too. We had a great time.

I've been to Trailfest for the last 2 years and I can tell you if you have not reserved a cabin, lodge, motel, etc, by now, you're not gonna be able to get a place at all. I'm not sure about the campsites though. If you call any of those lodging places on TrailsHeavan.com for Trailfest, they will all be booked.

I wish someone knew the trails from wagon wheel to trailfest...

That's why we need to purchase a piece of property. So you can have a permanent campsite.
