Distant Drums:
Valley Rally at Camp Verde
The spring 2020 rally for Diesel RV Club will be held at Distant 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 March 15 through 20, 2020. This will be DRVC’s second rally held at
Distant Drums.
Distant Drums RV Resort 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 with a concrete parking pad. Since there are no tables at each site, attend-
ees may want to bring their own if you plan on socializing outside at your motorhome.
Landscaping throughout the
park is exceptional. Although near
the Interstate, it is relatively quiet at night.
The location provides an excellent base for visiting Sedona, Montezuma Castle, historic Camp Verde, and other area attractions. Camp Verde and the surrounding Verde Valley offer numerous sites for visitors interested in history and cultural heritage, boating, hiking, biking, wine tasting, or just 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 Flagstaff
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 pre-
sentations, and an owner roundtable. In addition,
a free day for tour-
ing the Sedona-Verde Valley area or enjoying some time at the nearby casino is also planned.
The free Wi-Fi gener- ally works well but isn’t
designed to accomodate streaming of video for each guest. Cellular data service for
both AT&T and Verizon is usable but is slow at times.
The Valley Rally will be held preceding FMCA’s Family Reunion and Motorhome Showcase in Tucson at the Pima County Fairgrounds March 26 to 29, 2020. To register for the rally, go to the Diesel RV Club website or see the next page.
