Anyone planning to go to any Jamborees next year? Would love to someday hit one of the Iceland ones, but not in the budget at this time...think I am leaning towards Killbuck, OH, Sept 5-7, but may be convinced to do Coal Mountain (AOAA).
Let me know what anyone thinking. (y)

I'm trying to get at least 12 trips in for 2024 (including Moab and Rubicon). I would go, since I have never been before. Just have to see what the prices are. It's hard to justify what they usually charge when I can go any other time for just the park entry fee.

Thats always been my logic on the AOAA one....but I think the group, comradery, and going through trails with some other Jeepers and trai]l guides make me start to consider it (especially is others go).
 
So I'd like to do one this year. I really wish the list would state the type of jamboree it is.. I am not a camper so locations with solely that are out for me. I have 5 that I am looking into more (Tennessee Mountains, Penn's Woods, Killbuck, Uwharrie, and Greenbriar Valley).
 
Hi @haunani_jeepgirl

I have been going to Jamborees for a few years now (been to Penn’s, Uwharrie, and Greenbrier). All three of these and any of the ones I have been to are open to camping OR hotels (only one I have camped at was Uwharrie). You meet up each morning at a rally point then hit trails for the day.
I think the overland ones are normally marked as such and pretty clearly identified.

If you want to sign up for Killbuck, would be nice to have a familiar face there as there was a handful of us at Greenbrier and Penns. Was fun to have people you already know there.

If you have any specific questions about those three, let me know. Happy to chat about my experience.

Penns Wood, Drummond Island and Maine Mountains are all hotel friendly. Drummond Island is great for doing it once. For Penns Wood, the group stayed in the college dorms there.
 
I’m going to try to sign up for the Greenbrier valley jamboree. I did the Adventure Academy back in May in Uwharrie and the guides were excellent.

Thank you! That's all really good to know.

It looks like there is a winter and summer option on the list. Did you do Drummond Island in the winter?

Wasn't impressed with the organization... I suspect the guides had some sort of bet on how many they could get onto their trails... regardless of capability of the vehicles. Descriptions of the trails was nonexistent. Guides weren't really good at explaining the trails at trail signup.. They weren't helpful in assessing trail/vehicle capabilities. The trails were good, but given all the rain, made some of them impossible to maintain lines that would prevent damage. A lot of damaged vehicles - I suspect the good ol' boy guides also had a pool going on how many city slickers with new Jeeps took damage.

That area of Kentucky is like stepping back into the 1970s in terms of beer, food, bars, restaurants. Food at the Jamboree was terrible. Food as the bars and restaurants wasn't much better, Bars were out of beer.. assuming they're all about to go under. Had much more fun in Nashville before and Knoxville after. Jeep Academy in Killington, VT, was so much more fun. I'm not even sure I'm even interested in doing another one. I'd rather join an offroad consulting group doing badge trails at AOA or Rausch Creek and buy decent 2020s beer and food at my own cost after.
 
That's a bummer to hear that that was the case. Appreciate the report and update, as I will kind of cross that one off my list for the next couple years. I am looking to try and do Kill Buck next year.
 
I was going to start this same thread but waited for @Nacho since I know he likes the Jamborees.
Looking around the listings I see they've removed some and added the overseas ones. $20k for a Jamboree in Alps and can't even use your own Jeep? WTF?
$9,995 per person is bad enough but double occupancy is mandatory!!
Gonna try Ouray again and perhaps Palo Duro.
 
I was checking out the overseas ones too, but that is a little rich for me. In their defense, it says is small groups of around 10 rigs and it includes a Jeep (so you do not bring your own), but still a chunk of cash. I am still leaning towards OH....hopefully, someone else will look at that one too
