Made it up here. Found a fantastic dispersed campsite about a mile or two west of the venue for tonight. 10+ camp spots. About 20 min all unpaved backroad drive to the venue from this spot. It is quiet, no-one else is here. 4G service is enough to set up my wifi hotspot. Not sure if...

I'll be in the expo camp area Thursday night, so will see you there if youll be camping onsite at the expo. Happy to share campsite with anyone. I'll be in line to checkin and get a campsite at 11am on thursday morning.

Ahh, yes, camping is included with your ticket. But, you will want to get there early to have your choice of spots and be closer to the expo area (unless you want to be further out in the boonies). I'm planning on arriving at checkin at around 11am on Thursday to try to get a nice camp spot...

On-site camping is sold out at this point. There does appear to be dispersed camping within a half mile to a mile from the expo.

I'll be headed up there on Wednesday late morning from the Phoenix area. Planning on dispersed camping on wedesday night NW of expo site and then being in line for Expo Weekend pass check-in by Thursday 11am to hopefully get a good camping spot. If you guys see my rig, stop and say hi!

RE: Overland Expo West.. Its looking like I'll be headed up to the general expo area Wednesday mid day. Was going to be headed up Thursday, but decided an extra day off work and a peaceful night of camping in the woods sounded much better before the chaos of the expo. If anyone is...

Fortunately, half of Arizona is actually fairly mountainous and is full of high altitude locations. There are 29 summits above 10,000ft here. There are locations within 1-2 hour drive of Phoenix where you can get up in the 6,000-7,000 ft range. Go further north and you can be at 8,000+...

Got my rig fixed up last night new waterpump and thermostat. Looking forward to the next meet

I'll be at the expo camp. Got the weekend pass with camping, so wherever that puts me, I'll be there! Thursday night I may camp dispersed if the line into the expo camp area is too long and then move to the expo camp on friday morning.

Welcome! I probably won't be making it to the meet and greet either, as my 4x4 overland van blew it's water pump earlier this week. Better here in town than on the trail, so I'm thankful for that. Hoping to have her all fixed up this weekend. Personally, I am planning on heading up from Mesa on...

I figure worst case if I head up on Thursday afternoon and the line is ridiculous, I'll make camp somewhere nearby and plan on rolling into dispersed camp area at my leisure on Friday morning. With my rig I just need a place to park and camp is set up.

I'm at power & mckellips. I'll also be headed up Thursday afternoon to get an extra night of camping in that night. Would love to convoy with you.

You're right down the street from me. Power/McKellips here. I'm down for a meetup or whatever.

Welcome from northeast Mesa here! I'm also a new member.

Just ordered weekend pass w/ camping here. First time attending, so not sure what to expect up there. Will be heading up there in my 4x4 E-350 EB overland rig from northeast Mesa on Thursday afternoon most likely. Lemme know if you want to convoy up there.
