We will be back at Noccalula Falls Campground next October and Kaila Fair has given us a "Prime" Weekend!!

BamaGanza will be held over Gadsden's "First Friday In October." The town closes its streets to traffic and has a open city fest. This will happen all day Friday, and is a awesome event -- here is a link to this year's event:
October First Friday

Other Things to look Forward to:

• We will reprise the BamaGanza Putt-Putt Tournament!
• The Heaton Brothers Band will return!
• The RV Dealers are slated to return - along with free minor repairs from the techs!
• Flash PotLucks
• Cornhole
• And More!

Many other activities are being planned, so stay tuned! The Falls Campground will start taking reservations in early 2016 so watch this thread for updates on when registration opens!

We are re-planning how we have the RV dealer display units so we are hoping to be able to add 8-15 sites to our rally! Also if you are good with a water/electric site and do not have a large rig (30+ ft) there are 10+ sites to accommodate you (The CG does have a central dump facility).

One thing to be aware of as you plan your trip is we MUST be off site by 12 Oct because the Gadsden Tractor Pull event will be taking most of the campsite then (you MAY be able to negotiate a late stay with Kaila when you register in early 2016)

What is the cost and are there sites available?

The campground will allow early arrival. Late departure this year will be somewhat constrained as the city is holding an event at the campground on Columbus Day week. In order for them to accept your registration, you need to follow these steps:

• Take a Look at the maps of the campground at this URL:
  • https://issuu.com/online_guest_guides/docs/noccalula_falls?e=3066431/8795622
  • We have reorganized the campground this year:
    • The RV Show Display Rigs will be in the tent camping area (Site areas E & F) this should allow for almost 100 rigs to participate in BamaGanza ’16!

§ If you do not get a Full Hookup site, there are some sites with Water and electricity. There is a centralized dump station that is included in your camping fee.

• Select the site you want to reserve (you might want to have 1 or 2 other sites selected as a backup just in case your site is already taken!)
• Consider your rig size and take note of the sites that are marked 25' and under! (They are marked with a hot pink S)
• Please consider your fellow campers and size your desired site to your rig (does your R-Pod really need that 50' pull through site?
• Call the Noccalula Falls Campground at: 256-543-7412.
• Tell them that you are with the FROG RALLY and would like to register for a campsite.
• They will bill you for one night at the FROG rate of $21.17 (50 AMP) or $16.13(30 Amp)
• Balance will be due on arrival
• After you register at the campground, please drop us a email and let us know what site you are on and when you will be arriving and departing (bob AT williamsnet DOT org)
