Join us for a weekend in the "City Different". Santa Fe is the second oldest city in the U.S. with museums, galleries, historic buildings, golf and hiking in the near-by Sangre de Cristo Mountains. For those who wish to arrive early (prior to Friday evening), a golf outing is planned for Friday. The rally will officially start Friday evening with our traditional pot luck/finger food "meet and greet."
Saturday will be non-structured so that you may spend the day exploring the Santa Fe area if you wish. The RV park is on the city bus line so you don't need a vehicle to get to the historic downtown"square". Saturday evening will be a catered dinner in the pavilion at the RV park. Sunday morning will be a continental farewell breakfast. Make reservations directly with Los Campos at 1-800-852-8160, confirmation number 2933. Be sure to mention you are with RVW.
