Arriving Early & Staying Longer
You may come as early as you want and stay as long as you want at the Rally rates. However, you MUST go through the Groups Coordinator, Michelle Ward, at ABC. She may be reached at 1-800-671-4399 or by email at fun4uabc@aol.com. Please don't include payment for extra days with your registration. That has to be done through the campground. They will try to keep you in the same spot as for the Rally, but there are no guarantees.
