    I'm with Earl... I've been to 2 camp Jeeps (the one in PA 2 years ago and in WI last year). I've already made my reservations for this year. The displays are great, there are vendors showing their products (NOT selling them there), roundtables, trail rides every day. I feel it is DEFINATELY worth the money. And like Earl said, it's the price per Jeep... not per person.

      Wont be able to make the call until it is closer. The price is a bit high for the 2 of us and the GW (or YJ). If the mutts could go and run around it might be worth it..
      Oakridge is a family estate....so no hotel...but there is a small hotel up the road. I know camp jeep typically pays the trail guides for gas and lodging...so chance are...it's full.

      The camping is plentiful though...and lynchburg and hotels are about 30 minutes south.

      If you are going...pay close attention to the saftey things needed...like tow hooks front and rear etc...they do check. They used to have a tire size limitations years ago...but it is much more lax now (I.e....not 44s and rear steer)

          I really want to go and display my Thriftside. Time is running out and I am not sure I can have it ready. I have a Wedding to attend in Lynchburg that Saturday so I don't know what is going to happen. I bet it will be great!
          900 plus pictures not in any order taken during restoration. (Plus a couple of assorted pictures that down loaded.)

              Jeepcj559...what trail are you leading? I assume no finley ridge with the 715
              I'll make sure and tag along on a ride with you as well so I can introduce myself...just look for any rivercity stuff and you'll see the honcho.

                I signed up to be a guide this year as well, I was a guide in PA two years ago. Unfortunatley, I did not get picked this year, I guess I did not know the right people and my experience and trail rig didn't count for anything. Oh well, I am going anyway.

                  The price is per VEHICLE, NOT per person. You can take as many people as you haev seatbelts. My two girls, 7 and 10 run around like nuts and love it! There is SO much to do it is amazing!

                    Unfortunately, Uncle Sam has other plans for me now, so I wont be able to make it.
                    One day I will wake up and realize that my jeep is complete...one day, I just know it.

                      I'm not sure if I'll make it now or not. Apparently atlas and stak are both about 6 weeks out on filling orders....so it'll be close for me.

                        This will be my third year and I wouldn't miss it. In fact, my family is going with 3 out of our 4 Jeeps... my 2 sons are also taking their Jeeps. It's great fun for all of us and a lot to see and learn there.

                          My kids and I are going. We've been to all but one of the previous Virginia Camp Jeeps, plus to the one in the Poconos. This will be the first time in the Wagoneer, though. This is absolutely a great deal if you are into the activities and events. The trail rides are good and you get to see a lot of rigs and meet a lot of people. It is always an excuse for me to do some mods - this time new springs and a mild lift. It would be cool to have a FSJ gathering.

                          Cheers,

                                Are you the CJ tat rolled off the side of the ledge? I have been hearing about it for years but was never sure who rolled there???
                                Looks like I will not make it to CJ. My atlas and driveshafts are about 4 weeks from being here...and I have to finish all of the trail guide magnets and signs....so I'll be there...but it'll be for work...not wheeling
