🏕️ The 22nd Annual Camp NL is getting closer...

Our trail guides are confirmed, planning is underway, and we're already counting down the days until August 13–16.

If you were there last year, you already know how great this weekend is going to be.

And if you missed it? We're pretty sure you've heard the stories by now. 😉

(Seriously though... that food alone was worth the trip.)

Camp NL is three days of guided trail rides, camping, great meals, evening activities, prize draws, and catching up with friends around the fire after a day on the trails.

With more than 20 trail options available throughout the weekend, there's something for everyone—from beginners to experienced wheelers.

🧹 COMMUNITY CLEANUP – CALABOGIE AREA 🧹

Some of our local off-road and overland community groups are coming together on May 23rd for a large-scale cleanup effort in the Calabogie area — and they’re looking for volunteers to join in.

The cleanup is being organized by:
• ncrOverland
• Ottawa Valley Off Roaders
• OverlandNTH

The goal is simple: clean up trails, campsites, and Crown land areas while promoting responsible recreation and helping protect long-term access to these shared outdoor spaces.

📍 Mountain Chute Meeting Place, North Frontenac
🕙 Saturday, May 23, 2026 | 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Whether you’re an off-roader, overlander, camper, ATV rider, hiker, or just someone who cares about keeping these areas clean, this is a great opportunity to come out, lend a hand, and help make a difference.

Different outdoor communities use these spaces in different ways, but maintaining them is a shared responsibility — and events like this show what people can accomplish when they step up and work together.

If you’re free that day and able to help, consider coming out and supporting the effort to leave these areas better than we found them. 👏
