The California ADV Rally & Campout is a grassroot gathering created for adventure riders who share a passion for exploring California's backroads, dirt roads, mountain passes, scenic highways, historic landmarks, and the small towns that make every ride memorable.
This isn't a race, and it isn't a competition. While the rally begins with an official riders' meeting, there are no timed stages, mandatory routes, or prizes for finishing first. Whether you ride pavement, dirt, or a combination of both, you're free to build your own adventure and experience California at your own pace.
Our mission is simple:
Explore California
Meet Fellow Riders
Support Local Businesses
Camp Together
Ride Your Own Ride
The California ADV Rally & Campout was created with a long-term vision: to become an annual California tradition that showcases a different region of the state each year. Every edition is designed to introduce riders to new landscapes, hidden roads, local businesses, and the communities that make California one of the world's greatest places to explore on two wheels.
At its heart, this rally is about more than motorcycles. It's about slowing down, discovering places you may have otherwise ridden past, sharing stories around the campfire, and building friendships that last long after the weekend ends.
Because the best adventures aren't measured by who arrives first.
They're measured by the memories you make along the way.
