This off-road park caters to 4x4s and UTVs but all vehicle types are welcomed. The property offers about 40 miles of muddy and rugged woods trails, an obstacle course, mud drags, play pits, deep and shallow stream crossings plus rolling hills to keep riders interested.
The park has over 35 campsites with some electric and water hookups. Reservations are recommended, especially during special event weekends. The park offers plenty of space for parking, chem toilets and hot showers. Membership is not required but perks include discounts on camping during regular weekends.
Food and merchant vendors, live music and mud bog events are hosted during select weekends. Regular and holiday weekends are busy, so call for current rates and availability.
