Yes, there’s plenty of space to set up. There is no additional charge for campers/ RV's on the rally grounds that choose to use a generator, we ask that if you are using a generator you please park in "generator row" so as not to disturb primitive campers.  Campers with a generator will need to be prepared to Boondock - Boondocking in an RV is when you camp without hookups to electricity, water, or sewage.

Electric sites are very few and far between,  most are occupied by vendors requiring electric service  and those who are working the rally.  Please contact the Vendor Site Coordinator for more information nightly between 5-8 PM;  Randy- 417-739-4896.  There is no charge to vend at the rally (covered by admission) - come and set up a booth to sell your wares! 

Absolutely! There is a specific area designated for generators so the sound doesn’t bother our primitive campers.
