ALUMALINA 2023
“A Carolina Airstream Gathering”
Camping World Rally Park 348 Resistoflex Road Marion NC
October 19-22, 2023

As always, 4 days of food, fun, fellowship, seminars, craft fair, flea market, Beer Swap, Bourbon Trail, Wine Tasting, walking, talking, biking, hiking, paddling, picking, grinning, campfires, miles of aluminum and lots of paroozing, all with your like-minded friends.

No membership is required, everyone is always welcome.

The (Tom Johnson) Camping World Rally Park features nearly 300 full hook up sites in rally style parking on beautiful flat, mowed grass.
Rally style parking means side by side, back end to back end, in rows, yet with ample room to deploy awnings and set up a very nice camp. Every site has 20/30/50-amp power, water, and sewer.

We also have a 13,000 square foot pavilion with kitchen, stage, tables and chairs, and a restroom. Also, a bath house, handicap parking, a cafe’, walking trails along the Catawba River, restaurants nearby, and Camping World next door. Plus, lots of open green space.

Campsite fee still TBD but likely same as or close to last years $35/night. We will also ask for a TBD rally fee to cover the food costs and a few other necessities. Last year's rally fee was a bargain at $65/adult. We will make every effort to have food suitable for everyone.

****There is no need for a reservation, no need to call the Park, we have the entire Rally Park reserved. Simply show up, pick a site, set up, then pay up. We will greet you and help you check in and provide a complete Rally Packet for you with all the info you will need for a fabulous rally. No one will be left guessing. We like easy!

All sites are the same, there is no pecking order. Just come and have fun.
We maintain a list of those coming for planning purposes only. Post here if you're coming. We do request that if you want to park with friends please arrive with the friends.

Marion, NC is a beautiful small town of 8500 people located just off of I40 in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, “Where Mainstreet Meets the Mountains”. The Blue Ridge Parkway and Mt. Mitchell, highest point east of the Mississippi, are just a short drive away. Asheville, the Biltmore Estate, Black Mountain, Hendersonville, and much more are just up the road.

You are more than welcome to come early. If you do, please check in at the Campground office across the street in the big building with the green roof and pay them for your site. Our special rally rate applies regardless of number of nights.

You will like it!!!!
