2019 North American Heartland Owners Rally – Goshen

Rally sites

Siting Plan Statement
The rally venue, the Elkhart County 4H Fairgrounds is a facility setup to serve the 4H community throughout the year and to host the county fair each July. As such, there’s a variety of buildings, animal pens, animal shelters, animal exercise areas, racetrack, stage and grand stand on property.

Additionally, this venue offers camping. Camping areas are in various locations throughout the property. In most cases, camping areas are setup such that the entire space can be used for multi-purpose use. This means that often times, camping areas are used for non-camping activities. You’ll notice right away that all camping utilities are set at the back of the sites, thereby facilitating mixed use of these areas.

Each camping area has a name or has been named by rally staff. We have two documents to assist attendees in better understanding the camping areas and choosing an area to stay in during the rally:

“General” Campsite / Camp Area Information document

“Specific” Campsite / Camp Area Information document

As we’ve done in past years at this venue, we’re using an area/site selection process where each attendee chooses their own area and in small number of cases, their own site. Once an area is full or a specific site is chosen, that area or site are no longer available to other attendees.

In some cases, in order to not lose even a single full-hookup site, we need to park attendees in certain sites within the area the attendee has chosen – first. Not doing so will cause the loss of a number of sites and it’s our goal to get as many attendees as possible, onto full-hookup sites.

For attendees wanting to be grouped together, this is only possible if all attendees chose the same area (Northwest not included) and where all parties in that group arrive at the venue together. While we cannot guarantee it, this will best assure you’ll be sited as near one another as possible.
