membership requirement applies to passengers as well as

the vehicle and its driver is $35.00. Passengers are $7

daily fees is free primitive camping. See Membership Application
page for the membership application and parental waiver.

a parental waiver. We accept Visa, MC, Discover, cash and checks. For our frequent visitors, we offer some specials.
A Frequent Driver Pass for $125 which is good for five visits,
or a Season Pass for $300.
What kind of campground do you have? The
camping is primitive and included with your admission. Pack
in and pack out what you need. We have porta-potty service
at the main parking lot. There is room for tow rigs and
trailer parking as well as for RV's and pop-ups. We have
fire rings and there is plenty of firewood along the trails
for our members to use. All camping is by reservation.
I want to visit, can I just show up anytime, what
are your hours? We are open year-round with
the exception of Thanksgiving and Christmas and for a brief
time during December's deer rifle season. . There
are times when members will be required to make a reservation
for their visit which is explained more fully below.
There may be special events throughout the year, so be sure
to visit our forum
to find out about any special events that might affect your
visit.
From

Sunday without the need to make a reservation.
If you wish to visit Monday through Thursday, then you must
contact Lynn@rc4x4.org to make arrangements for your group's
visit.

THE
MINIMUM GROUP SIZE IS TWO VEHICLES. If
you show up alone there is no guarantee you will find a
suitable group to go with. Visit our forum
to find others to go with. When setting up a ride
with your friends and fellow club members, it is advisable
for one person in the group to be the official contact person
and for the group to decide upon a group name to be used
at registration. If everyone exchanges cell phone numbers
with each other, than late arrivals can be dealt with in
an orderly fashion. The contact person will be the one responsible
to leave a cell number with the office and to check-out
at the end of the day with one of the officers. The
minimum group size is two vehicles. Keep in mind if one
of the two vehicles breaks down, you cannot continue on
alone, you will either have to call it a day or find another
group to join.
What does making a reservation involve? The Off-Road
Park is a non-profit organization and we do not have the
means to have the park office staffed seven days a week.
Therefore, during non-peak times we need to know in advance
that your group wants to visit the park. We have two club
officers who are available by e-mail and phone. Typically
you will be able to reach or hear back from one of the officers
within a day of your contact. All we need to know is that
you are planning on coming to the park and approximately
what time you expect to be there so we can make arrangements
to open the gate and have your group checked-in. We do not
require a deposit.
Does our group need a trail guide? It is
not a requirement, but if your club is visiting for the
first time, you may want to have a guide to show you around.
However, the trails are well-marked and groups are provided
with maps, and we have found that most people are able to
navigate themselves quite well on their own. If you wish
to have a guide, ask for one when you schedule your visit.
The cost for a trail guide is $135.
What are the trails like? The trail network
consists of existing forest roads and trails that were cut
open by hand with the help of several 4wd clubs. The trails
are marked with signs and maps are provided. The trails
are rated green (easy), blue (intermediate), black (hard),
and red (extreme). Several trails have many bypasses so
that groups of different levels can run a trail together.
If you like mud, check out the West property, several of
the green-blue trails are very muddy. When you check your
group in, speak to one of the club officers for help in
picking trails to run. Our parking/staging area is located
on the perimeter of the forest, so you will encounter trails
of all levels within moments of your group leaving the parking
area.
Should I bring food? Yes. Food, snacks,
beverages and water is advisable since you will be on the
trails all day. Also remember to bring any prescription
medicine.
Are Pets Allowed? Yes. Dogs should be kept
on a leash. During competition events dogs are not
allowed in the competition course area.
Where can I stay overnight or stock up?
The nearest gas station is at Exit 104 (Exxon station, Ravine
exit). There is a full service restaurant there and a quick-mart.
The nearest full-service campgrounds can be found at Exit
104 (Echo Valley) or at Exit 112 (Camp-A-While). Hotels
can be found at Exit 100. For more information, visit our
Directions section.
If I have additional questions about your park,
who do I contact? In the Contact
Us section, there is a list of the officers' names with
their email and phone number. Any one of the officers will
answer your questions The best way is to email during the
week for prompt response. Or you could visit our forum for
more information.
