Rally Moves to Camp Verde
Official publication of the Diesel RV Club
Holding to the same date, the spring 2017 rally for Diesel RV Club has been moved to Dis- tant Drum RV Resort located between Flagstaff and Phoenix, Arizona. The campground is located in the Verde Valley only a few miles from Montezuma Castle National Monument and less than 30 miles from the Red Rocks of Sedona. The rally will be conducted February 26 to March 3, 2017.

has received high marks by independent reviewers. The park has great facilities and a friendly staff. The roadways
are paved and each site is level concrete with a parking pad. Since there are no tables at each site, attendees may want to bring their own if you plan on socializing outside at your motorhome. Landscaping throughout the park is excep- tional, and although near the Interstate, it is relatively quiet at night. The free Wi-Fi is reported to work well. Cellular data service for both AT&T and Verizon is usable, but, at times slow. The location provides
an excellent base for visiting Sedona, Montezuma Castle, historic Camp Verde, and other area attractions. A medium- sized casino is across the Inter- state and has all of the usual dining opportunities.
Camp Verde’s central location, along with its temperate year- round climate, abundant out-
taking in the landscape. Add to that mix the Out of Africa Wild Animal Park and Cliff Castle Casino and you can begin to see why Camp Verde appeals to visi- tors of all ages and interests.
The rally will feature five nights of camping with full hookups at a premier park between Flag- staff and Phoenix. There are four hot breakfasts and three catered dinners planned plus one continental breakfast. Three days have been set aside for technical seminars, ladies craft sessions, lifestyle presentations, and an owner roundtable. In addition, a free day for touring the Sedona-Verde Valley area
or enjoying some time at the nearby casino is also planned.
The Sedona-Verde Valley
Rally will be held preceding FMCA’s Family Reunion and Motorhome Showcase in Chan- dler (southeast of Phoenix) at Rawhide Western Town March 7 to 10, 2017.
