Pineknot Hosts

Mission Statement

As your Pineknot Rally hosts, it is our mission to bring together fiberglass RV enthusiasts in a welcoming and supportive environment that fosters community, education, and adventure. We strive to celebrate the unique culture of lightweight fiberglass travel by sharing knowledge, inspiring creativity, and encouraging responsible camping practices. Through our rallies, we aim to create lasting friendships, promote sustainable travel, and provide memorable experiences for all attendees.

100% of all fees and donations collected each year goes directly toward making the next year’s rally even better. Pineknot Rally is a non-profit event, and we do not compensate our sponsors or volunteers—every bit of support goes right back into the rally. 

If you’d like to help us keep the tradition strong, please let us know in the volunteer and comments section during your registration. We’re always looking for enthusiastic volunteers!

We can’t wait to see you all and make 2026 the best year yet!
