• 2026 Shipshewana Not So Mini Rally

  • Start
    Wednesday, June 03, 2026

    Sunday, June 07, 2026
  • Location
    Shipshewana North Campground, Shipshewana, Indiana

  2026 Shipshewana Not So Mini Rally
  

  
  

  We are planning another Shipshewana mini Rally beginning Wednesday June 3, 2026 until Sunday June 7, 2026 in Shipshewana Indiana. The Rally Location will once again be the Shipshewana North Campground and Cabins (wanabees note, there are a few cabins available here). The website for the campground is 

  http://www.shipshewanacampgroundnorth.com 
  

  and the phone number is (260) 768-7770. Ask for Uma or Sam and tell them you are with the Bluebird Group. 
  
  PLEASE MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS BY PHONE AS THERE ARE ADVANTAGES FOR BLUEBIRDS MAKING PHONE RESERVATIONS.  DON’T MAKE RESERVATIONS ON LINE.
  
  This is an older campground with mostly 30 amp sites, but a few 50 Amp pull through sites are available. Hopefully we have planned it early enough that we won’t need much air conditioning. We really like this campground as it is quiet and has an ice cream store right on the site. They really like us too.

  
  

  We don’t have awards, and we don’t plan tech sessions. We plan nothing because this is the Rally where the Boys go shopping. You read it right, there are several, many, a bunch of surplus stores within striking distance, and we come back with car full of RV trinkets. Some spend thousands, others spend some. The girls, if they trust us to be alone with credit cards, go to town with their own credit cards and shop in all of the quaint little Amish shops. 

  Shipshewana also has a huge flea market every week on Tuesday and Wednesday. You can google that to get the details if you are interested. You may have to come early to go there, but don’t spend all of your money there because there are other, better things to buy. 
  
  This location offers other services. 

  National RV Refrigeration. Many ‘Bird owners can’t say enough about Leon. Each year Leon works on several Bluebirds. He’s the go to guy for refrigerator problems as several Bird owners can attest. His price is more than fair, he does a really good job, and he’s close to the campground. He does air conditioners too. His website is http://www.fixyourfridge.com. If you have a need here, call Leon for an appointment and to make sure he has enough time to get what you need.
  

  Stuarts Service in Elkhart is an authorized HWH repair facility. The website is http://www.rvleveling.com. You really need to call ahead here for an appointment as it seems they have limited hours. The phone number is on the website.
  
  Ramco Mirrors is close by in Elkhart, and bird mirrors have been rebuilt here.
  
  Mr. Wrench Service and Repair 260-768-4216 is a Powertech Service Center
  
  
  There are also lots of other RV related manufacturers around the Elkhart area and this is only a half hour away. Lambright’s for furniture is a popular spot, and Bradd and Hall is also nearby. 

  This is the place to meet up with other Bluebird friends and have your own kind of fun. 
  

  
  Looking forward to seeing you there !!!

• Bluebirds at Sturgis Rally

    Sunday, July 05, 2026
  • Location
    Sturgis, SD

  
  

  Bluebirds at Sturgis

  Mt. Rushmore Rally 

  July 4th Rally 

  
  

  July 1st-5th,2026

  Sturgis RV Park

  1175 W Woodland Dr,

  Sturgis, SD 57785

  (605-720-1501 Mary or Lori)

  Tell them you are reserving for “Bluebirds at Sturgis Mini-Rally”

   

  The rally dates are July 1 – 5, 2026, however the sites are available for rally-goers from June 27 – July 6, 2026. Because the 4th is on Saturday and currently fireworks at Mt. Rushmore are planned, we thought some people wouldn’t want to head out the next morning, instead relaxing a day then leaving on Monday. It’s an option and your choice. We’ll be leaving Monday.
  
  The nightly rate is $60. They offer a 10% discount for AAA, AARP, and Military. If the rally has 15 or more rigs everyone will get the 10% discount. They also offer a weekly rate (stay for 7, pay for 6) for those who would like to come in earlier or stay later - that rate is $360 plus tax. When you reserve you must pay a 1-day deposit. If you cancel the deposit is not refunded.
  
  The rally has the entire NEMO section of the campground, approximately 36-sites, blocked off.

  
  

  These sites are all blocked and on hold until July 31, 2025 for booking for the rally. After this date the sites will be released to the public. If you chose to attend after July 31st it will depend on their availability. We do have overflow options if Nemo fills. But our end date for registrations is fixed 7/31/25.

  The sites are all concrete full-hookup with 30/50-amp service. There is a pavilion and an event center available to the rally at no cost. The event center has a commercial kitchen and I’m told seating for 100 shouldn’t be an issue.
  
  July 4th is the 250-yr anniversary of the United States. The town of Sturgis will have fireworks on the 3rd. The campground is having a free BBQ on the 3rd for their campers. Mt. Rushmore will have fireworks on the 4th. No fireworks are allowed in the campground.

  Other potential activities could be day trips to places like Devils Tower, Spearfish, Deadwood, Crazy Horse,

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Badlands National Park,

  
  

  
  

  and more. Travel time from the campground to most of these sites is roughly an hour as Sturgis is somewhat centrally located.
  
  Group activities are currently TBD. Probably a meet-n-greet on Wednesday the 1st. Maybe a group dinner on the 2nd in town? Dinner on the 3rd is the campground BBQ. Dinner on the 4th depends on events at Mt. Rushmore. A group dinner in town on the 5th for those leaving on Monday? All a work in progress. 

  It's going to be fun.

  Poncho's Pond RV Park

  5335 W Wallace Ln

  Ludington, Michigan

  
  

    

  Poncho's Pond Campground, a nationally accredited campground is more like a Great RV Resort than a campground offering great amenities as well as great places to explore the Michigan Coastline with great sandy beaches, lighthouses and the famous Badger that ferries cars, trucks and Buss's across the great Lake Michigan.

  Ponchos Pond has been spending the last couple years improving the already great campsites and now has added concrete to many. Poncho's are always excited serving Bluebirders as they have a long history with Wanderlodge and the people. We typically fill up the space they provide and urge all interested to reserve their spot.
  

  Anyone that has attended can attest to this beautiful park and location in the Northern Lower Mitten.  Plan your travels this summer to end the season up in Ludington Michigan for a great time with great people eating great food! Make your reservations soon.

  As always we are excited about the opportunity to catch up with friends as well as make new friendships all focused on our wonderful Wanderlodges!
  

  
  As usual Ponchos honor rally rates for the whole week and a couple days the following week. Check with office. Make sure you mention you are with the Blue Bird Rally ! Reserve by phone to assure the rates. They have a online reservation system , but that will not recognize rally rates.  Take advantage of a full week stay or longer like many have done for past.

  Vintage Birds Fall Rally

  October 11-18, 2026

  Hiawassee, Georgia
  

  
  

  
  

  Join us for a week in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.

  Nestled in the northern Georgia Blue Ridge Appalachian Mountains is the small town of Hiawassee. The town sits on the shores of Lake Chatuge; a lake that was formed in the 1940’s by damming the Hiawassee River. It is believed that the name of the town comes from the Cherokee word Ayuhwasi meaning meadow or river. The town itself was established along the Unicot Turnpike, a 1000 year old Native American Trail extending from TN to Savannah and Charleston. This is a beautiful area with lots of things to see and do.
