Largest Annual MV Gathering & Swap Meet in the West, Camp Plymouth April 14-19, 2020
The 43rd annual military vehicle swap meet and gathering in North-Central California is making it's second Spring appearance in Plymouth April 14-19, 2020. This is the largest annual MV event west the Mississippi, formerly located at campgrounds in Petaluma, Tower Park, Big Bear Park, and near Patterson, CA. Those who came to the new venue in the historic California Gold Rush country and winery region in April 2019 found it solved past issues with having enough campsites, visitor parking, and display space. The Petaluma KOA owner charged a visitor fee. Attendance at Camp Plymouth was the most ever!
The event is again hosted by the Military Vehicle Collectors of California. It will be at the 49er RV Village for RVs, travel trailers, tent trailers, other camping rigs, and those renting cabins, PLUS the adjacent Amador County Fairgrounds for all tent and truck campers, MV showcases, other displays, and visitor parking. The swap meet will be throughout the event. There is a path and open gate between the two venues.
THREE PLANNED SHOWCASES: ARMOR, TRUCKS 2 1/2 TON AND LARGER, AND HMMWVs
Plenty of activities and features:
We are seeking raffle prize donations for the annual fundraiser. Vendors stand up and be recognized! Contact a MVCC officer listed at www.MVCCNews.net or deliver the item to the MVCC HQ and Quartermaster tent near the 49er entrance.
Event and campsite reservation details are now on www.MVCCNews.net. DO NOT CONTACT the 49er OFFICE for a campsite. Different procedure than last April. September Camp Plymouth reservations have nothing to do with the Spring event.
