April 28-May 2, 2025

Downtown Riverside RV Park, Little Rock, Arkansas

Rally Leaders:  Phyllis Slaughter and Ken Diabold

This campground has the best location to tour Little Rock.  It is centrally located along the river and within walking distance (if you choose to walk) of several attractions, restaurants, and the Metro Streetcar.

We will start the rally with a Potluck dinner, followed by a local historian who will talk about the history and significance of the area.   Each morning, we will meet for a continental breakfast before going on our morning excursions. The excursions include a guided tour of the Arkansas Inland Marine Museum, guided tour of the Old Mill (a historic re-creation of an 1880’s water-powered grist mill used in the opening scenes of the classic movie “Gone With The Wind.” ), riding the trolley and stopping along the way at the Arkansas Historic Museum and have lunch (on your own). There will be free time to chose visiting the Clinton Presidential Center (that is just across a pedestrian bridge), the Old State House, Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts, other places, or just relax. 

Every afternoon we will have a social hour, followed by a meal, then a tech talk or playing games with prizes.

The Rally begins with check-in Monday afternoon and ends after breakfast on Friday.

The Roadtrek Chapter Rally will be held May 14-17, 2024, at the Hatbox Event Center in Muskogee, OK.  It will be a pre-rally and held just before the INTO rally in the same location.  We will be parked in the same sites for both rallies.

Our Roadtrek rally is an opportunity to meet other Roadtrek owners, trade information about our vehicles, travel tips, and get to know each other.  We are still planning the details, but there will be the usual tech seminar, swap area and other activities. Every morning we will meet for continental breakfast and have dinner together.   One activity planned is the” Tour of Homes” where we can see and hear about what others have done to their Roadtrek homes.  There will be an award for “best in show “ for the best home improvements.

We also hope to do something special to celebrate Roadtrek Corporation’s 50 th Anniversary. 

The Rally fee for the Roadtrek Rally is $125 for one person in a Roadtrek, $150 for Two people in a Roadtrek and $175 for 3 people in a Roadtrek. The rally fee includes 3 nights camping (electricity and water), 3 continental breakfasts, 2 dinners, and other activities.
