Start your riding season off right with a trip to the Lowcountry of South Carolina for the 4th annual Palmetto ADV Rally brought to you this year by The SC Moto Lawyer, Rick Stewart’s Law firm. South Carolina's 1st. ADV Rally The Palmetto ADV Rally!
This year the rally is in the same location as last year with even more riding and camping areas. We will be at the Sandy Run Hunting Preserve in between Cottageville and Summerville off Hwy 17-A with 1200 acres of trails, sand pits, and 5 lakes. Every campsite this year should have a water view. This year will include new routes, along with on-site training and riding, ADV games, and daily excursions for exploring and keeping your riding skills sharp and/or improving on skills that all ADV riders need while out on the trails. We will also be hosting a RAM RALLY! This is an at-your-on-pace event, where riders make their route to waypoints, that have different values. The points’ value will be based on the distance or difficulty of reaching or finding the waypoint.
This year’s rally is shaping up to be bigger and better than ever. We have a new entrance for our location this year that is a hard-packed sand road with lots of drainage. We will also have more camping options, along with more RV and Trailer parking options with most having lake views. We have several new rides around the Lowcountry from our Pro Scout Team. This team is working on some great routes for you to enjoy in 2025. We will also have the classic SCAR & PAR routes from previous years along with a few new routes for your enjoyment. We are once again featuring The Ram Rally & The Palmetto ADV Rally Obstacle Course this year, for you to test your skill level. We have some of the best MSF Instructors in the state giving classes and advice, and new sponsors with some of the hottest gear to raffle off and to give away as door prizes. This year the rally will have a donation-only drink bar and music by DJ Palmetto for your enjoyment. We may also have a few surprises in store for you to make this year’s rally one of the very best.

Meals this year are optional and not included in your Weekend Rally Pass to give you the flexibility/choice of cooking on your own, out-to-eat dining in town, or if you have a dietary restriction. We do offer a meal plan. The Meal Plan includes breakfast and dinner each day of the rally and the Famous Lowcountry Boil on Saturday Night. The Meal Plan is a $85.00 donation to the Palmetto Nomads LLC Non-profit.
*Not getting a meal plan means you are opting out / not eating rally meals (served by the Palmetto Nomads) for breakfast and dinners, which means you will be taking care of your own meal needs.
Staying on site is optional but we highly recommend it. We like to have fun while camping and telling war stories around the bonfires. If you need other accommodations, we have a list of hotels close to the rally grounds that we can send you.
Live music, bonfires, good times, riding buddies (new and old), and tall tales are to be had at the 2024 Palmetto ADV Rally.
