We are set once again for a crazy fun filled weekend on Petit Jean Mountain KMPJ. We expect the usual great hiking, eating, flying, Saturday balloon busting, ramp game activities, and the incredible food that you have come to expect PLUS our new "green slushie" Margarita'ville Tent and our newest EAA addition ... super high quality soft serve ice cream to enjoy while you ramp sit/visit with 200 of your closest RV buddies and buddettes :) For those that know ... our special EAA 165 cream has a double digit butterfat number that guarantees the smoothest ice cream you have ever had. Money back guarantee !

The cool thing about Petit Jean is that from the moment you touch down on the Mountain you are surrounded by folks with an instantly recognizable common interest ... YOUR RV Airplane! That's all it takes to come and be part of the party. We promise you will meet, greet, and be part of something that you will always look back on an enjoy. If you don't leave with a mile of smiles, at least a couple dozen new "best" RV friends, that also is a money back guarantee. This is the best spouse friendly event in the country. All food, beverages, trail fees, transportation, ramp fees, etc. are covered under the one price deal. Your room with the RCC is not included but everything else is. Just pack a pack a bag, camp or stay at the RCC, bring a spouse, or friend and a lot of smiles and you're good to go! Fuel that RV and plan on heading to the Mountain!

Here is a fun video that will give you the feel for the event! But please check out the videos and pictures on the website.

SO WHAT DO I DO ? Read this whole thing first 😊 if you already found the website and registered … good on you 😊 Strongly recommend you look at the pictures and video sections after you register.

Click here to go to the website: www.PetitJeanFlyIn.com OR

Click here to go directly to registration: Registration & Reserve My Room Deposit Process | Petit Jean Fly In | The RV Gathering Fly, Camp, Hike & Lodge


We will apply your registration position against the available rooming list and notify you the first or second week in August if you are confirmed. If you are not confirmed at the RCC, your deposit will be refunded. If all rooms at the RCC book up and we think they will, we will be making alternate accommodations available on a first come first serve basis as we get them lined out but that will be your call, we’ll work it out! We do have some other rooms at Mather and Cedar Lodge.

So here is the drill:

Remember we’ll still go by order registered and previous attendance. This early group should be covered but …. if we can’t get you in at the RCC, we will refund your preregistration fee but it does hold your specific spot on the waiting list. It also gets you preferential treatment on any alternate accommodations that might become available. Again, if we confirm you a room at the RCC, it’s a non-refundable deposit. If you get/stay on the wait list and don’t get a room at the RCC, we will absolutely refund your pre-registration fee if you choose not to attend.


  1. So go to the Pay Pal button link on the website Registration Tab http://PetitJeanFlyin.com/registration-donations/ and choose one of the rooming options! (Illustrated below)
  2. Now confirm your PayPal fee payment using your credit card or PayPal card.
  3. Please specify Single Room (one bed) or Double Room (two beds)) That lets us maximize the number of couples that can attend. The deposit is about half the registration fee for a single or couple.
  4. Campers prepay deposit is appreciated but not required but PLEASE do the on line registration.
  5. IMPORTANT! Expect a confirmation by the last week of September with a confirming group number which you will use when you make final reservations at the RCC. You will be able to call at your leisure and give them your CC information.
  6. As you finish the PayPal transaction, it should take you to the OnLine Registration which we desperately need you to fill out. If it does not, we have also attached the direct link to the On Line Registration https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PetitJean2025 We need this info to actually confirm your room and for logistics for food, drinks, and transportation.


Thanks 😊 we’ll be looking for you on the RV Mountain!

PS … all of the usual repeat offenders have called: We’re in In IN … for PJ 2025! Please send me an email if you want a Thursday night room.

Please if you get this multiple times today. Please just reply back on that email and I’ll drop your name from that specific list.

Questions or Comments, please email me at [email protected] or Cell 501-590-9646
