Any interest in a gathering/get together here in Utah ?
Doesn't have to be a campout or strictly cargo trailers, anyone's welcome to show off your trailers.
Could be just a day thing if people are busy.
2 thing's to consider.
Location::::;;;; Northern or central Utah
When ;;;;;;;;;;;;; I would guess end of summer/fall ???
Let's throw some ideas out there.

Next year is shaping up to be pretty busy for me, so I probably won't be able to attend.
But my suggestions would be:
Do it earlier. Do it when it is pretty. Do it before everything is dead. Do it before it is hot and those lacking AC have to suffer.
For a very accessible place that even the asphalt-only crowd could handle, I would consider something like the campgrounds just off I-80 in Coalville. Come mid to late June (sometimes into early July), that valley is usually very green, quite pretty, and very pleasant. There is also river access for fishing (check the regs, of course - I believe there are bait and hook limitations there); and there are 2 reservoirs within a ten minute drive.
About the only direction you can come from without having a "straight shot" to Coalville would be US 6 and US 191 south of Helper; and those that don't like Parley's have the I-84 option.
Availability later in June might be a concern, however, as July 4 is on a Tuesday. That'll probably wipe out the entire week, plus the previous weekend (Fri on).
For a desert locale, the Simpson Springs campground on the Pony Express Rd is usually still tolerable (not oppressively dusty or too hot) until late June, and accessible by all vehicles. The road can get pretty badly washboarded, but it is still passable by all vehicles and usually gets graded at least once in May and June. If the campground fills, dispersed camping is allowed nearby (and *most* vehicles could handle the trails).
If the crowd leans toward off highway and later in the year, however, the sky's the limit. Gain altitude for cooler temps, and find somewhere with trees and plenty of parking.
