About the ADK Spring TearUp 2012

Hi our names are Dave and Kate. We came up with the idea for the TearUp back in the spring of 2005, after owning our teardrop trailer for two summers and finally meeting a few teardrop owners here in the North Eastern US. We realized that, with the growing interest in teardrops, that it was time to organize a teardrop gathering for the numerous enthusiasts in the North East and share our passion with others!

Our first, second, third, fourth and fifth Spring Tearup's were held at THE BEST campground we have camped at, Fish Creek Pond in upstate NY. In fact we often refer to Fish Creek as 'the cottage' since we go down there as often as possible! More about Fish Creek Pond can be found HERE. Todate the gathering have been a huge success with 14 trailers and 27 participants attending the first year in 2005, 15 trailers, 30 participants in 2006 and 22 trailers and 47 campers in 2007, 25 trailers and 50 campers in 2008, 55 trailers and 101 campers in 2009, 54 trailers and 98 campers in 2010 and 54 trailers and 112 campers in 2011! Our eighth gathering will once again be held at Fish Creek Pond, June 7-10, 2012. Typically many campers do come up early, and several stay longer than the 'official' dates.

By no means must your own or have built a teardrop trailer to attend the Spring TearUp! If you are a enthusiast for the teardrop and other small trailers, or simply want to join us for a great informal weekend of camping and meeting each other, you are more than welcome. Registration is easy! Simply make your campsite reservation HERE and we'll see you there!
