Up to 60 caravans and motorhomes are expected to take part in the rally, which is held twice a year at different locations.
Leeton was chosen for the event after club president Brian Kellerher paid a visit to the town in 2008 and thought it would be an ideal spot.
Preparations are well underway for the rally, with participants set to spend eight days in Leeton from October 17 to 25.
They'll visit places such as Gogeldrie Weir, the Roxy Theatre, Lillypilly Estate Winery, as well as a general tour of the town.
Club committee member Joy Mayhew has been busy putting a schedule in place and can't wait to return to Leeton for the event.
"Our members will be coming from all over the country to take part," she said. "Leeton has so much to offer, it's looking like a great place to hold a rally.
"We have two of these a year and we just held the first at Swan Hill ... our members spent about $45,000 there."
The club caters for all types of travellers regardless of the recreational vehicle they might have.
It has 500 registered members across the country and Mrs Mayhew was looking forward to Leeton welcoming many of them to town.
"We'll also be holding our AGM and general meeting while we are here," she said.
"It should be a great event for the town ... as well as that our members get to catch up with each other too.
"Everyone has been really helpful here in Leeton, so we really appreciate that."
