The 2025 Southeast Overland Camping Event will be held at The Historic Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary, in East Tennessee! We are excited, as TNToverlander, to host the 5th annual Southeast Overland Camping Event and be back at Brushy Mountain for our THIRD consecutive year. As in previous years, your camping pass (driver or passenger) will include FREE access to our Training Classes, Guided Trail Rides (with separate purchase of trail passes), and access to the Vendor Section during vendor hours. Like last year, we will also host an SOC EVENT RAFFLE, with amazing prizes, from several great off-road, overlanding, and outdoor/adventure companies. 

This is a family friendly event where our goal is for you to have access to on-site training to expand your overlanding/off-road knowledge and keep you safe on the trails, meet great people around the southeast to go on adventures throughout the year, and shop with VENDORS who provide great products to the overlanding community. Also, this is a perfect time to get your base camp set up after the winter months/holidays, and prep for your adventures throughout the year!

SWAG BAGS: SOC Swag Bags are full of great items and have been a HUGE HIT in the past 4 years! These will be limited, and we will release more information on these as it becomes available.

Premium Camping Passes will include: Front Row Parking/Camping, SOC Premium Swag Bag, & access to the camping area starting at 7:00am
