I know several folks have mentioned it, but I will go ahead throw my vote in for Coal Creek / Windrock. Over 200 miles of trails on 76,000 acres with trails for every kind of vehicle. Huge parking areas, two huge campgrounds that connect directly to the trails! Hands down the best place for a large diverse gathering.

If you need to bring the family their is big time shopping in Knoxville and Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg are only about an hour away. Something for everybody

I had my honeymoon there and had a BLAST! Although there were parts that reminding me of International Drive here in Orlando and that was VERY disheartening. I LOVED dollywood, which I never thought in a million years I would love.
I could see going back to TN for this if needed, but would still rather keep it closer to FL.
Remember that some of us have to drive the ENTIRE state just to get to GA which is more like a 9 hour drive!

In case no one noticed, the 5th Smokey Mountain Jeep Jamboree will be at Windrock April 16-18. Might be an aesy way to let someone else do all the heavy lifting, i.e. planning.

Jeep Jamboree's are really awesome events! They aren't that cheap though and their rules may not allow some to attend (tire size restrictions)!

I vote for Grayrock ORV. I talked to someone today about the need to update their website. They have open rides (Feb. 6-8 and Mar. 20-22) or it can be rented for group rides. It has different skill levels and it's close to hotels and food.

Has anyone been out to Stoney Lonesome OHV in Cullman, AL? They are supposed to have a Jeep Jamboree there on May 28-30, although we may not want to go at that time ie. expensive.

All other times it is only 25$ for the weekend including rider, 1400+ acres, and they might give us a deal since they are so new.

I have never been there, I dont think it is even open yet, but HEY! It's a thought!
