What you need to know
Overland Expo West 2028 runs May 19–21, 2028, in Fort Tuthill County Park, Flagstaff, Arizona. On-site Overland Expo camping sells out first; the FR-300 (Lake Mary / Mormon Lake) dispersed corridor is the free fallback and keeps you under 30 minutes from the gate.
Overland Expo West 2028 returns to Fort Tuthill County Park, about seven miles south of Flagstaff, with hundreds of exhibitors and hands-on training classes (recovery, navigation, vehicle rigging).
On-site camping is reservation-based; off-site bases include Munds Park RV Resort (~20 mi south on I-17, full hookups) and Coconino National Forest dispersed sites along FR-300 (free, no services).
Safety rules and an insider tip
Safety + legal. Flagstaff sits near 7,000 ft — acclimate for altitude and pack for cold mountain nights even in May. Coconino NF dispersed sites have no water or dump; arrive self-contained.
