Hello everybody,
My name is Forrest Dilmore, your host for the National Dutch Oven Gathering 2026, and I’d like to take this opportunity to invite and welcome you to the National Dutch Oven Gathering 2026. The NDOG 2026 is being held in the beautiful Panhandle of Northwest Florida, the place that I’ve called home for the past 61 years. The NDOG 2026 site will be the Jackson County Agricultural Center and will be held on November 5-7, 2026. The “Ag Center” or old fairgrounds, as the local folks call it, is located about 2 miles West of Marianna FL on US Highway 90.
Any forms needed for the NDOG, such as site reservations, event registration, 3-pot cook-off, etc. can be found here on the website.
The sites that are available are 30-amp service with water hook-up for each site. There are no sewer hook-ups available. There is a dump station on site.
You will definitely want to look over the event schedule and be sure to attend what might interest you. One of the evenings for supper (that’s what we refer to the evening meal as) you’ll be able to travel back in time about 150 years and experience a supper similar to what might of been had on an 1880’s cattle drive, prepared on an authentic chuckwagon. Friday and Saturday will be packed with a lot of informative and interesting seminars and demonstrations, as well as a 3-pot cook-off. Speaking of the 3-pot, they’ll be some really cool trophies awarded to the top dishes, so if you have the competitive spirit, get to practicin’!
