Other Things to Know

Campfires

We have a central campfire every evening. Small propane fires are allowed at individual campsites, but nothing on the ground, as ground fires will sterilize the field beneath them.

Kids and Dogs

The Overland Rallies are kid and dog-friendly events. Please keep an eye on your kids, and ensure they don’t play in areas where vehicles may be moving about. Dogs must be leashed at all times, never left in a locked vehicle, and please pick up any waste.

Water

Please bring your own water for cooking and drinking. If you run short, there is a store 5 minutes away.

Food

We will have some food vendors on the field.

Groceries, Supplies, Coffee

The city nearby has all the basics, which are about 15 minutes away.

Electricity

There is no electricity on the field. We recommend solar power or a quiet generator if required.

Toilets

Porta-potties are available throughout the site.

Weather

Late summer in BC can be warm during the day and chilly at night, so bring appropriate clothing, sunscreen, and a hat. The wind can pick up in the afternoons, so strong stakes for your awning are a good idea.

​Insurance

Please note, the Rally does not provide coverage for bodily injury. Attendees should have their own medical coverage, and attendee vehicles must be fully insured.

Garbage and Recycling

Please try to pack out what you pack in, especially recycling.

Vehicle Recovery

If you get stuck, there are people around to help, but if your vehicle breaks down, it is your responsibility to get it home.
