Canopener 2020

[Two Peas]

14th Annual Canopener Rally

January 2-5, 2020

Topsail Hill Preserve State Park, Gregory E. Moore RV Resort
7525 W. Scenic Highway 30A
Santa Rosa Beach, Florida 32459

This is a national joint rally sponsored by Airforums and the Southeastern Camping Unit and Arkansas Razorback Club of the WBAC. No membership of any group is required and there is no Rally fee.

This is a very popular rally and fills up quickly. Campsite reservations can be made 11 months to the day through Reserve America: https://www.reserveamerica.com/unifSearchResults.do

Only AFTER you make your campsite reservation, register/RSVP for the Rally using this link. Keep your confirmation email in case you need to make changes. https://form.jotform.com/90156364495160

DO NOT RSVP to Airforums. Your information will not be included. Please bear with us as we transition from Airforums signups to using this signup system – hopefully it will be less confusing for you and the organizers. We will use a similar form later in the year for rally activities like the chili feed or Ranger breakfasts.

For those arriving early, we will have Canopening activities from Dec. 30 – Jan 1. This year’s Canopener, Jan. 2 - 5, will have activities to be finalized later in the year but there will be music, biking, Ranger breakfasts & hikes, the world-famous chili feed and cornhole tournament, and a few surprises.

Great job Kate. Canopener 2020 will be a blast!

We missed it in 2018/19 after trying to catch a couple of canceled sites so I will attempt to register early, is there any sites you want to avoid or are they all pretty good?.
Thanks

As far as I know all the sites were fine. There was some road flooding (we called it a "no wake zone") after a heavy rain.

Site 123 and 125 are at the end of the flooded street, but I believe the campsites themselves were ok. Your breadtruck should be able to make it through the water ok.

Put pontoons under the Airstream and make it a houseboat! 2019 was a blast. Looking forward to 2020.

Sorry, I meant milk truck.

Karen and I would also like to thank Joe and Annette for a job very well done. We look forward to this get together every year. I would advise, if you want a spot, to start reserving your spots right after Christmas 2019. The 11 month window will open next week! There are many entrants that stay 7 to 10 days or more. New Years is gaining popularity. So book early if at all possible or wait for cancellations that usually start in late summer.
Love to all!
Billy and Karen

Form only accepted date starting at Wed 1/1/20. You don't want to track those coming in earlier?

Am I missing something? Reserve America does not accept reservations outside 11 months, so how would one know they're coming early?
Or is there a "double secret" reservation system?

Is there a link to see who has registered?

Many thanks.
Pat

[Two Peas]

Try it now. JoAnne expanded the date range

[Dave-n-Janet]

Worked. Thanks.

[Two Peas]

I hope I understand your comment. 11 months from today is Dec 24 2019. So if you made a reservation today you’d technically be coming in early.

[LOGUE88]

We just reserved site 80. Arriving Dec. 27; leaving Jan.5. I RSVPed and received my verification email. So, I guess I’m done for now. If I missed anything just let me know. I would like to thank all of the new leaders for taking this on!
Love to all!
Billy

[Two Peas]

Thanks. Everything seems to be working on the new registration system.
