Don't get the forest camping...It's FAR AWAY from EVERYTHING!I'm currently contemplating getting tickets for the East event, but now that I see that there are plans for an OB contingent, I might pull the trigger. Are you guys going for the "grassy field" or "forest" camping? I was going to get a forest spot, but if everyone is in the field, I'll go for that; saves a few dollars and gets me closer to other members.

Hi,Ok folks I've started this thread for OXE22 so that we can come up with some ideas for next year. I love to get feed back from people so please let me know what we can do better next year. first if you were there fill out the survey they sent to you by email. Give them honest feed back about what they did well and what needs improvement. I may do a google form as well to find out what we can do next year too. As far as I could see most everyone who came by my camp and was hanging out had a good time. Tacos and bourbon were flying!....but the venue would not let me rope off an area and the area I had wanted to set up in was used for something else. I wish we could all have camped together but it simply was not in the cards....we will try again next year. I'm thinking of doing day long overland route out of the venue and out into the surrounding area. That would give us something we could do together outside of the camping area and give a since of community. Anyone want to take on that beast of an idea let me know. OK everyone, lets hear some ideas!
I just tried, and it worked for me: Buy Tickets EAST — Overland Expo®Hi,
My wife and I want to go this year. We are new to this whole experience and we want to learn together. Exactly how does it work? I see they sell tickets with you overlanding there, but when I go to click on the link, it doesn't open up. Any useful information would be awesome. We would like to sleep in our ground tent.
In short, you camp on site in a big field (ground tent is fine). Basically there's an expo ticket, which is just to the vendors and shows and such, or the Overland Experience ticket, which has education options. With the education part, there are two levels, one which is the classes only, and for like $75 more you can do the driving classes (there are several). Assuming that part, your wife would either get a passenger ticket (without the extra $75, or if you wanted her to drive too...).Hi,

Mayhem is right! The last time I was at Mid-Ohio was the early 2000's for an AMA Super Bike race. Several RV's ending up catching fire and burning to the frames in the campground...It’s not a big deal to haul it down…I just need a few folks to help set it up…we could host a campground party…I can bring smoke machines, a light show, PA system…the worlds first Overland Disco…all you got to do is say the word…my motorcycle club puts on the hell of a bash in the campground at AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days at Mid Ohio in Lexington Ohio every year…come out and see the mayhem…7/22-24/22

Probably around 2003. Could be a year either way. I might have some old pics. Before digital was big. I'll see if I can find them and scan them.What year was that?…I’ve been going since 2009 and never seen an RV burn to the ground…Mayhem is right!
