Hey COTR Fam —

Excited to share the camping details for COTR5! Whether you’re a seasoned cruiser or it’s your first time, here’s what you need to know.

 

• Primitive camping is included with your registration — no extra sign-ups. You DO NOT have to stop at the camp office; just roll into the COTR camping field (a big open space bordered by woods) and set up where you like.

   

• Facilities are basic: no hookups, no permanent fire rings, no tables. Campfires are allowed; bring or buy local firewood (vendors near the park are usually cash-only).

   

• Campers and travel trailers are welcome in the event camping area — plenty of room to park and set up. 

   

• Need a shower? A clean, modern shower house and bathrooms are a short walk from the event area and open 24/7. You’ll get the access code when you check in at the pavilion.

   

• The pavilion is your hub for registration, breakfast, activities, and dinners — stop by there first.

   

• Running low on supplies? Oliver Springs is about a mile away for gas and small groceries; Oak Ridge (4 miles) has Walmart, Kroger, restaurants, and more. If camping isn’t your thing, several national hotels are close by.

   

• We’ll have multiple Solo Stoves lit at the pavilion each night if you want to hang by a communal fire.

   

• Join the COTR Facebook Group to ask questions, meet folks, and follow trail updates.

   

More details coming soon on trail selection, the Dissent Off-Road Cornhole Tournament, the Potluck Dinner, the Swap Meet, the Welcome Party, and the rest of the schedule. Watch your inbox!

 

See you in October — ready to party!!!
