The Great Coastal
Rig & Rally
A weekend celebration of trucks, travel trailers, and rural community camaraderie nestled along the scenic Nehalem River.
Welcome to Nehalem
Surrounded by coastal forests and the breathtaking Nehalem Bay State Park, our rural community is opening its doors for the ultimate gathering of road warriors. Whether you tow a vintage Airstream, a cozy teardrop, a rugged fifth-wheel, or just want to show off your custom pickup truck, there's a spot by the fire for you.
More than just a showcase, this meetup is about connection. In the spirit of true rural resilience, we believe that looking out for the greatest number of people in our community is what matters most. That's why a portion of all event proceeds goes directly to local Nehalem emergency responders.
Join 200+ local enthusiasts!
