Dates: December 6th, 2019 to December 8th, 2019 Optional Early bird arrival on December 5th, 2019
Make your plans for this SOI gathering to get in the Christmas spirit. All brands of molded fiberglass trailers are welcome! This will be the 6th Annual Scamp Camp Southwest. We are changing the gathering up this year as we have done the Sedona Festival of Lights pre-Christmas event for 5 years and now we are going to be doing something new and different for this years gathering.
CAMPGROUND INFORMATION:
We will be staying at Dead Horse Ranch State Park in Cottonwood, AZ which is an awesome campground.
https://azstateparks.com/dead-horse/
The campground is reservable and you'll need to make reservations ASAP as the winter snowbirds start booking this campground out that time of year. The reservations can be made at:
https://azstateparks.com/reserve/dead-horse/camping/ We will be booking the "Coopers Hawk Loop" which is the top one on the mountain with 270 degree views of Cottonwood, Clarkdale, Sedona, and Jerome. Sunsets and nighttime are gorgeous at the campground. If "Coopers Hawk" is full the next to book is "Red Tail Hawk Loop." Not as good of views from there, but still a quick walk to the main gathering.
- Directions to Dead Horse Ranch State Park from Interstate 17 traveling North from Phoenix:
- Take Exit 287 at Camp Verde. Proceed West to Cottonwood on SR260 (approximately 15 miles) to SR89A/Main Street. At the traffic light turn to left onto SR89A. After 2 miles turn right on 10th Street (just past the sign that says Dead Horse Ranch State Park/Riverfront Park). The Ranger Station is a mile down the road on the right, just after crossing the bridge over the Verde River.
- Directions to Dead Horse Ranch State Park from Interstate 17 traveling South from Flagstaff:

Stay on the Cornville Road - as it crosses SR89A it will change names and become Mingus Avenue. At Main Street in Cottonwood turn right and go about half a mile to 10th Street (just past the sign that says Dead Horse Ranch State Park/Riverfront Park). Turn right. The Ranger Station is a mile down the road on the right, just after crossing the bridge over the Verde River.
Please email us info@scampowners.com with First names, Space #, Trailer model, year, and State you are coming from.
We do not pack the schedule full of SOI activities beyond Meet and Greet and trailer tours, as this area of Arizona is loaded with activities and tours of things to see. Keep an eye on this thread as we will be posting information on Early Bird Dinner, Wine Tours, Tuzigoot tours, Jerome tours, Clarkdale Train tours, etc. If you are able to attend, please let us know by either replying here via the SOI forum or by emailing your name, trailer, state, and space # to info@scampowners.com. We hope you can join us!
Hey there! Susan Evans from Vail, AZ. I have a new 13ft. 2019 Scamp. Will see you on Friday! Looking forward to it!
I picked up my new Scamp November 1, and have been on the road ever since. I look forward to greeting and making new friends at Dead Horse site 97. See you in a few days. Ron from Montana.
Great to add two more attendees, although we're going to have a lot of "Sue's."
Look forward to meeting both of you and hearing the stories......

Here is the link for the 10 day forecast for Cottonwood, AZ which is where the campground is located:
https://weather.com/weather/tenday/l/Cottonwood+AZ?canonicalCityId=8bfd1237d7c43dab608ce98910ffa9ff303f15cbe6693df71de7058a57a7c82b
Looks like temps high 50-60's daytime and low 40's overnight. Precip drops to 10% for the event.
Here is the link for the 10 day forecast for Flagstaff, AZ which is the junction of I-17 and I-40 for those coming in/out from that direction:
https://weather.com/weather/tenday/l/Flagstaff+AZ?canonicalCityId=619db793f155250ac49bea7765a7e7385fde764575db6944e4b8d265ee0e0537
Weather preparation:
Be prepared with layers and good jackets as the temps will go from good to cold during the day and be pretty cold on the overnight. The sites do have power and water and the temps look good to use plumbing in the trailers without any freeze issues. I'd recommend an electric heater like a cube heater as a backup and/or heat source for your trailers. Always good to have if the propane furnace decides to act up or you'd prefer quieter electric heater.
We will have a nightly campfire at the host trailer so be prepared with appropriate outerwear to sit out and enjoy. The sunset and night views at this campground are spectacular.

Joy is not feeling up to traveling this trip, so I will be solo (and without the dogs). Still planing to arrive Thursday, and depart Sunday, though I may leave Monday, as it may rain Sunday, and that would give me dry weather all the way home.

The cool kids play outside.
Hello Scamp Friends,
Very sorry to have to make a last minute change in our plans. Just got home from a tiring professional travel outing, plus we have had some unforeseen changes to our schedule. We were looking forward to meeting and seeing all of you. Hope we will be able to make another Scamp camp sometime next year! Hope you all have a great time in Cottonwood!

Yesterday I made a trip up I-17 from Phoenix to Flagstaff, and then I-40 East to Holbrook. All the roads were dry and travel was great. 10 Day forecasts aren't showing anything serious is expected. It is winter, so you never know, but things look good for the gathering this weekend.
