Bill,
Get together with the other campers to schedule a "Just for Fun" event in 2016

Sounds good....We just tent camped via motorcycle the entire 2 week trip around the Pacific Northwest this summer.  Loved it!  Well, ok...one night we cheated at a motel!  (seems to be a common place for cheating, but that's another topic) ::)

Dennis,
Bill should know the dates for MSTA's regular Regional events first so he doesn't plan his JFF event the same weekend.
I don't see 2016 dates on line?

That's because they haven't been finalized. I'm told probably about a month from now.

We've actually done dualsport events in this area 3 or 4 times. We used the campground once and stayed at the Red Roof Inn in Etowah other times. Always had a good turn out and a good time.

One thing to be aware of in October is bear hunting opens.  Probably not an issue for street riders but it is for dualsporters. The bear hunters use radio equipped dogs so when the season opens there are LOTS of dogs and trucks/jeeps on those national forest roads.

That said, I'd love to go down there again if I can stay in a cabin. I don't do tents and sleeping on the ground.  :^

Good point about the Bear Hunters. We saw a large Black Bear during Hunting Season a few years ago on a popular DS road.  Plan to talk to CM Trails Campground @ Tellico Plains TN about available dates during September, and try to get a handle on other events scheduled, too.

Will also start a JFF event thread later this week.

Fall Colors Ride will be from 9/30 thru 10/02 in 2016. It would be a cabin for me! Syd

Like I said on my original post, I'm not a camper but would certainly consider an outing where cabins were also available. -JEP-

"One campground with camper sites, tent sites, cabins, grill, and very clean restrooms/showers is Cherohala Mountain Trails Campground:

http://www.cmtrails.com/

Looks like a nice place for on & off pavement riding. Don't know many roads in the area except for the Dragon & Cherohala Skyway. :) "

Last year, 2015 Fools Run, was held at the Cherohala Mountain Trails Campground.  A very nice campground, very nice owner and great dual sport roads nearby!

Started JFF thread here:

http://ridemsta.com/mstaforums/just-for-fun-events/2016-tellico-plains-tn-fall-event-jff/

Agree with Jim when he mentioned bear hunting causing possible problems for DS riders. Just checked the 2015 Black Bear hunting season for Tellico TN and it ended 10/11/15 this year. They don't have 2016 posted yet.

Daylight savings time ends 11/6/16.

At this time Cherohala Mountain Trails Campground has the following dates available:

Cherohala Mountain Trails Campground
32 Reliance Rd Tellico Plains TN 37385
423-253-6061
Wayne & Kellie Owners

cherohalatrails@gmail.com

http://www.cmtrails.com/

Current Dates available:

10/14-10/16 2016
10/21-10/23 2016
10/28-10/30 2016 Halloween Weekend

I've camped at nearly every MSTA event I've gone to.  Even if camping isn't avaliable at the host location usually you can find a good spot not far from the main event location. 

Here's a few of my MSTA event campsites.

Ride the Rio 2010


2010 ByWay Boogie






T-24 in 2012




OZARKS BS 2012




BS rally is right next to a camp ground. The By Way Boogie required about a 10 minute ride to get to a really beautiful campsite.

Ride the Rio was a bit further but that was a choice on my part.
