2009 RV-Dreams Rally Information
Announcing the Second Annual RV-Dreams Rally!!
We had a great time at our first Rally in Branson, Missouri in 2008. And we also learned a lot, so we are ready for the 2009 RV-Dreams Rally.
The registration is a bit shorter than last year and things are a bit simpler for us. But there will be just as much information, if not more, and a whole lotta a fun! :)

Rally Accomodations
RV Sites & Cottages
Unlike last year, the 2009 Rally registration DOES NOT include RV sites or other accomodations. We have set aside 60 RV sites at Buckhorn Lake Resort, but you must make your own reservations.
Note that reservations will not be confirmed until you have registered and made your payment. We will provide names of registrants to Buckhorn so they may confirm that those making reservations are properly registered for the 2009 Rally. Please give us a little time (a day or two) after registering to send the appropriate information to Buckhorn. Then give them a call at 1-800-568-6458 to make your reservation. Be sure to tell them that you are with the RV-Dreams Rally. :)
We have received a special Rally rate of $30 per night for RV sites. That rate is good for up to seven nights including the four Rally nights. In other words, you can get the Rally rate for three nights before the Rally, three nights after the Rally, or a combination of three nights before and after the Rally. Of course you may pay the regular rates and stay longer.
There are only three cottages on-site at Buckhorn. There are no special Rally rates for those, and they go for $125 per night and sleep up to six.
Other Accomodations
For those not bringing an RV, here is the link to the "Where To Stay" Page of the Kerrville Chamber Of Commerce. There are plenty of places to stay with a wide variety of amenities and prices.
