For those wanting to rent an RV or travel trailer and stay at the 49er, Advantage Caravans in Sacramento is offering our Fall and Spring event participants a 20% discount on the nightly rate. See www.advantagervrentals.com or call 916-832-8824. Pick an available unit online, request a reservation, and in the Requests field say you are a Camp Plymouth participant and ask for the discount. A confirmation will arrive with the correct price on it. Add the fees to the RV site rental to compare to renting a 49e cabin or hotel room.

Tuesday is a set up day. Sunday is a pull-out day, not a show day.
Shameless picture of this writer's fleet and trinkets at the September 2021 Camp Plymouth. I brought more to the Spring meet.
The infamous jeep showcase in the arena in 2019. I think 65 here and 10 or 12 elsewhere in camp. FYI one of the showcases for April 2023 will be WW2 Jeeps. Another is Military Dodges.
