Once again we are partnering with Trailerfest SoCal for our Spring Rally at Bonelli Bluffs RV Park in San Dimas California. Registration for the event is through the Trailerfest Website at the link below. Dates are Thursday, April 9th - Sunday, 12th, 2026. Extended stays are also available.

This years theme will be "IN THE NAVY" (Think patriotic, military appreciation, nautical, Polynesian).
Picture this: an evening of Polynesian dancers swirling under the lights, a thrilling fire-and-knife performance that brings the island spirit front and center, and a showcase of historic military vehicles you can get up close to. Western States GMC will have their own event tent in our group area!

9:00 am- Polynesian Pajama Party, Hawaiian shirts, Muumuus, leis, etc. Join grace in Site: F139.

6:00 pm- Potluck Reception​ at the host site, F73, 
For our island-themed potluck, think vibrant flavors and laid-back tropical vibes. Popular main dishes include huli huli chicken, kalua pork, garlic shrimp, Hawaiian meatballs, or classic Spam musubi. You can never go wrong with fresh, colorful sides—Hawaiian macaroni salad, steamed white rice, pineapple salsa, baked sweet potatoes, or a bright tropical fruit salad with pineapple, mango, papaya, and melon. If you want to try something more traditional, lomi lomi salmon is always a hit. Anything with sweet-savory island flavors or a touch of Polynesian inspiration will be perfect for the table!!
