uCamp24 is officially in the books! For five days we gathered at a campground in the heart of Ohio’s Amish Country with more than 350 nuCamp owners.
uCamp is our annual teardrop rally held at Winklepleck Grove in Sugarcreek — just minutes from our manufacturing facility. This special week provides a wonderful opportunity for us to connect with nuCamp owners face-to-face, hear their incredible adventure stories, and forge lasting relationships.
uCamp24 Highlights
This year, uCamp24 brought together 363 attendees and 82 furry friends at Winklepleck Grove, with an impressive 239 trailers filling Winklepleck and other area campgrounds! Enthusiastic nuCamp owners traveled from all corners of the United States, including Arizona, Florida, Colorado, Texas, and Washington. We were also thrilled to welcome 29 adventurous attendees from Canada, making this a truly international gathering!
uCamp24 brought back some beloved favorites and introduced exciting new activities. We kicked off the week with our traditional wine and cheese night, where local wineries offered a delightful selection of Ohio wines paired with locally made cheese and trail bologna. It’s the perfect way to start the festivities!
Creed, our technical support specialist, and Marvin, a senior technician, led insightful tech talks, answering questions and sharing their expertise with our attendees. Other informative sessions included camper-led discussions on working remotely in your RV, a seminar by Battle Born Batteries, and an Alde system informational talk.
New this year, PJ from Princess Craft RV taught a Basics of Backing Up course. She also provided one-on-one guidance to campers in the nuCamp Service Center parking lot, helping them perfect their backing-up skills.
uCamp offers more than just educational opportunities; it’s also packed with fun activities and social events. This year, we enjoyed lively bingo games, a competitive cornhole tournament, and spirited karaoke sessions. A new addition to the lineup was the Amish Country Guided Tour, where attendees explored the picturesque Ohio Amish Country. One of the tour’s highlights was enjoying a home-cooked meal prepared by the host family at an authentic Amish household.
Our communal meals are always a hit, and this year was no exception. We provided four delicious catered meals, including two hearty breakfasts and two dinners. Dinner on Wednesday night consisted of pulled pork made by a nuCamp team member for our guests. And, of course, it wouldn’t be uCamp without our traditional giant Amish Country donuts!
At uCamp24, TAB 400 ambassador Kendrick Callaway and newcomer Ron Wimberly, also known as Captain Ron, claimed the 2024 Cornhole Championship title. Leonard Kiel delighted attendees by bringing back the beloved Dog Library, and David Henry continued to charm with his whimsical gnome scavenger hunt, a hit since uCamp23! Sakina Zerdani amazed everyone with her custom graphic featuring a mural of herself and her four dogs. As night fell, Mike Jenkins kept the community spirit alive with lively fireside gatherings, warmly inviting all attendees to join in the fun. Meanwhile, Glenn Grisham impressed uCampers with an incredible 20,120 miles traveled in the past year alone, and nuCamp awarded Dawn Kuenzli the prestigious title of “Ambassador of the Year” in recognition of her outstanding contributions to the nuCamp community. Dawn’s dedication shines through her active online presence and her leadership in organizing rallies in Ohio and Pennsylvania, alongside TAB 320 ambassador Jenn Grover.
uCamp is all about building connections and celebrating our community. We cherish the opportunity to get to know our owners on a personal level. We had more than 100 team members volunteer throughout the event, giving them a unique opportunity to meet nuCamp owners firsthand. At nuCamp, our mission is to put people first. We strive to ensure our owners feel supported and welcomed into the nuCamp family from the moment they consider our products.
Hear from uCamp Attendees
uCamp attendees are active in the uCamp Facebook group throughout the week. We wanted to share a few comments from owners.
“My first uCamp — what a phenomenal introduction to this amazing community. Thanks to nuCamp for your creativity and hard work in building this event and family, and thanks to all of the employees who joined in and provided support, education, and playtime throughout this week. Thanks to everyone I met for sharing your stories, your kindness, your tables, and your firepits. I’m so grateful for the warm welcome and for the opportunity to have experienced first-hand what a special group nuCamp and all of you are — reading about it is nothing like being there in person. Happy travels — see you at uCamp25 or somewhere on the road before then!” — Jen N., a TAB 320 owner.

Looking Ahead to uCamp25
After eight wonderful years at Winklepleck, uCamp25 will be moving to Atwood Lake Park. The event will be held from August 4-8 at this new location, which boasts incredible amenities, providing additional comfort for our guests.
