Somernites Cruise and General Burnside Island State Park are proud to announce the 9th Annual "Campin' the Cumberland Vintage Camper Rally"!! September 24th-27th, 2026 at General Burnside Island State Park!! This location has been great for us!! We are excited to be back there!!Last year was one of our largest ever with over 50 vintage campers!! Let's make it 75 or more this year!!
Thurs Sept 24th is check in day. The day is open for setup and to explore the area (and we have a lot to see including Cumberland Falls, Big South Fork scenic Railway, Historic Mill Springs Grist Mill, Mill Springs Civil War Battlefield, Haney’s Appledale Farms, etc.) all within a 10 minute to 45 minute drive of the campground.
Friday Sept 25th is when we have open house scheduled from 2:30 to 5:30. We will be promoting the open house to anyone in our community who may want to come see the campers so bring all your vintage camping supplies, coolers, etc.!! You can even set up and sell your goods if you want to!! There is a $10 fee that the Park has to charge if you want to sell items.
Saturday September 26th is the Somernites Cruise event in historic downtown Somerset (again about 10 minutes from the campground). Gates open at 12:00 (noon). We would like to have about 7-10 really nice vintage campers along with vintage tow vehicles to come display downtown (we understand that means you have to break down and set up again downtown). Our September show is always one of our largest of the year!! We usually have between 1,000 -1,500 classic/collector cars & trucks at our September show. If campers prefer not to attend the Somernites Cruise event and would rather explore the community and other attractions that’s OK too. Again, all Somernites Cruise events are free. Saturday night we will have a pot-luck dinner for all campers. More details will be announced as we get closer to the event!!
Sunday September 27th is check out day.
