Southeast Overland Camping Event

The 2025 Southeast Overland Camping Event returns to the historic Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary in East Tennessee from March 28–30, offering an unforgettable weekend of camping, off-road adventure, and community connection. Hosted by TNToverlander, this fifth annual gathering features free access to training classes, a vendor area with top overlanding brands, and guided trail rides (with separate trail pass), all included with your weekend camping ticket. Attendees can also enjoy live music, food from The Warden’s Table restaurant, distillery tastings, and exclusive raffles with prizes from leading outdoor and overland companies. With a focus on safety, education, and building community, this family-friendly event is perfect for both seasoned overlanders and newcomers looking to prep for the season ahead. Camping is primitive and available for a range of setups, from rooftop tents to trailers, with optional premium passes offering front-row sites and swag bags. Whether you’re gearing up for a year of exploration or just looking to connect with fellow adventurers, the Southeast Overland Camping Event is the perfect place to launch your 2025 overlanding journey.
