Special thanks to Blk Elk Media for this short video of our 2020 event! This video does a great job of showing the family friendly spirit of this event!
If you own a 4x4 vehicle and enjoy the overlanding lifestyle or you just want to learn more about this fast growing passion you are invited to join Natural State Overland at Mulberry Mountain Lodge, in the beautiful Ozark Mountains of Arkansas October 12-14 2023, where you will rendezvous with others who share your interest in overland style travel and all the adventure it brings! If you haven't experienced the trails and backroads of the Ozarks, you don't want to miss this opportunity, and if you have this is your chance to get back out there.
NOTE: NO ATV's or Side-by-Sides are allowed at this event for any reason.
This event is strictly for highway legal vehicles and dualsport bikes. There are no exceptions.
Come share your experiences, knowledge, and enthusiasm while you learn from others and talk to vendors about their overland related products and participate in our vendor sponsored door-prize giveaways, all in a family friendly atmosphere! We are also planning various presentations on overland related topics, and trip reports, as well as ample opportunity to get out and explore the beautiful Ozark National Forest. Those attending the Rendezvous will also have the opportunity to watch single engine aircraft arrive and depart from Byrd's grass airstrip!

Last year (2022) we had over 750 vehicles attend from 26 states! We had 36 vendor booths, and over 20 different product demos, trip reports, and presentations to choose from! See pictures HERE! This year we are planning for an even bigger crowd! We also have a free event app for those attending!
