Four Corners Airstream Club Opens 2026 Rally Registration for Chama, Angel Fire

Registration is open for the Four Corners Unit's two most anticipated summer rallies of 2026, with spots at both the Chama Airstream Rally at Sky Mountain RV Resort and the Balloons over Angel Fire Rally now available through the Airstream Club International's online registration system.

The 4CU runs its rallies without business meetings or formal ceremonies, keeping the focus squarely on camping and time with fellow Airstream Club members. That low-key philosophy has made both the Chama and Angel Fire stops perennial favorites on the unit's calendar, and the opening of registration on March 21, 2026 signals the unofficial start of the regional Airstream season.

The Chama rally returns to Sky Mountain Resort RV Park, nestled alongside the picturesque Rio Chama River in Chama, New Mexico. At 7,871 feet, Chama delivers the reliable cool nights and mild afternoons that make it a legitimate summer escape, and the 4CU's event page puts it plainly: the elevation "serves up pleasant days and cool nights to escape the summer heat." The park features full hookups with 50/30/20 electric, water, and sewer service and is big-rig friendly with spacious sites built to handle today's larger rigs and slideouts. The venue address is 2743 S US64/84, Chama, NM 87520.

Karen and Don Conley have served as hosts for the Chama event in previous years; their contact information on file with the 4CU is dpconley07@outlook.com and 773-682-7787. The per-person rally fee is $20, which does not cover camping costs. In keeping with 4CU policy, the rally fee is non-refundable once paid.

If you're routing in from the west, the 4CU's own event page offers a scouting tip worth taking: traveling east from California or Tucson via US-60 to I-25 lets you stop for pie in Pie Town and swing past the Very Large Array radio telescope, the SETI facility made famous by Jodie Foster's film "Contact." It's a detour that earns its own mileage.

The second rally, Balloons over Angel Fire, puts 4CU members on the ground for one of the region's most photogenic summer events. Balloons over Angel Fire is one of the few high-mountain hot-air balloon events in the country. Scheduled for the Father's Day weekend of June 19-21, 2026, the annual tradition draws pilots from across the Southwest for three days of mass ascensions and community celebration. During the rally, the village of Angel Fire also hosts a craft fair and Mimosas on Main Street alongside the balloon festival. Based on the 2025 Angel Fire rally, campers book sites directly with Angel Fire RV Resort by calling 575-377-4472 and identifying themselves as part of the Four Corners Airstream Group.

Registration for both rallies is handled online through the Airstream Club International platform. The 4CU is known for its friendliness, welcoming attitude, and diversity, and both events are open to members looking to put miles on their rigs before the shoulder-season heat sets in. Full event details, including any updates to dates or hosts for the 2026 Chama rally, are posted on the Four Corners Unit's section of the Airstream Club International site at airstreamclub.org.
