We are excited to once again host you for three days and two nights of four-wheeling, camaraderie, good food, competition, raffle prizes and fun in the picturesque northwestern mountains of Massachusetts on some of the best trails in New England.
Once based in Florida, Massachussetts, the homebase for this weekend will be the beautiful Country Aire Campground located in Charlemont, MA. Two nights of camping and access to the campground for the meals and activities are included in your registration. Campers/trailers are welcome. There is also a small hotel ( The Oxbow ) very nearby if you don't care to camp out (reservations and cost are your responsibility). The campground will be the central location for all activities and the rally point for trails on both days. There is plenty of room for trailers and rigs and there are some campsites nestled into the woods a little too. There is a pool open to all registered campground users, several children's play areas and a nice little river to play in around the perimeter as well. A small arcade is also located inside the well-stocked camp store on site. Please NOTE: We can’t reduce your registration fee if you opt to stay at the hotel in order to ensure your access to rally points and group meals within the campgrounds. Pets are allowed, but must be leashed at all times and owners must show vaccination documentation at registration. We will be following this and all other campground rules closely to ensure a great relationship with them for future events! Please take a second to read them on the Country Aire website.
