September 20 - September 28, 2025. Come join us for the annual Swiss Festival National Rally this fall.
Located in the rolling green hills of eastern Ohio, deep in the heart of Amish country, this rally offers lots of fun for everyone. The week-long rally includes visits to the annual Swiss Festival in nearby Sugarcreek, Ohio, plus tours to various local sites and our favorite “Day in the Park.”
What is Amish country? Ohio has the largest Amish population in the nation, and this part of Ohio has the largest Amish community in the state. The Amish take this time of year to share their way of living with us. If you’ve not experienced this before, you’re in for a fascinating week. If you’ve been before, you know what a good time we have.
This family-friendly rally includes a wide variety of tour choices and nightly entertainment.
The Day in the Park brings the world of the Amish to us. You don’t have to leave the campground to enjoy aspects of the Amish life. We’ll have homemade Amish baked goods, free horse and buggy rides, and watch Amish make apple butter in a copper kettle. This day also includes the Airstreamers’ Hobby/Craft show, Flea Market, homemade ice cream, fresh popcorn, and a special ham and bean dinner cooked in huge kettles over open fires.
The rally is held at Winklepleck Grove for eight days of fun, fellowship, and excitement. Enjoy an Amish meal at a nearby restaurant or at a local Amish house. The area has many furniture, gift, antique, and craft stores, and, of course, there’s plenty of Amish Swiss cheese to purchase.
The Swiss Festival is on the Friday and Saturday of the rally. The festival includes many festivities and a parade. Plan on joining the parade with the rally’s float and help win first prize again this year.
Besides touring the Amish sites, feel free to bring your motorcycle, bikes, kayaks, and other outdoor equipment. There are gorgeous backroads guaranteed to give you a fun ride on your motorcycle. There are also some great bike trails and lakes for kayaking in the area.
A golf course is next to our rally site, so it also might be a great time to get in a round of golf.
