Welcome to UTV Takeover – The largest offroad event in the country!

Where is Area 13 located?
Areas 13 is referred to as our reserved PREMIER Sand Camping. These 50 marked-off campsites are located north of Boxcar Hill Campground and west of the Sand Drag Strip. Each marked and numbered campsite is 30’ wide and 70’ long. These PREMIER camp spots are centrally located to all activities, Vendor Row, and open dune riding!

How much are PREMIER Sand Camping passes?
Each PREMIER sand campsite is $250.

How many days are the camping passes good for?
Each pass is good for six days and five nights starting at noon on Tuesday, June 25th and ending at noon on Sunday, June 30th, 2024.

How can I purchase PREMIER Sand Camping passes?
Camping passes can be pre-purchased through our website by using the link on this page. If campsites do not sell out before the event starts, passes can be purchased at the entry gate when you arrive. Traditionally, these campsites sell out quickly!

Does my camping pass purchase include event entry wristbands?
No. Camping passes and event entry wristbands are sold separately. We did this to keep the cost as cheap as possible and wanted to make sure each participant only had to purchase what they needed.

How can I purchase event entry wristbands?
You can pre-purchase wristbands through the website for $50 or purchase them at the gate. We recommend purchasing them through the website to help reduce wait times at the gate.  

Do I need event entry wristbands to access my camping spot?
Yes. Please be aware everyone in your vehicle will need wristbands to get through the entry gate to access your camping spot. These wristbands may be pre-purchased through our website for $50 each or obtained at the entry gate during the event. Kids 12 and under are always free! 

When can I check into the PREMIER Sand Camping sites?
The event starts at noon on Wednesday, but you can check in starting Tuesday, June 25th at 12pm PST (noon). Unlike previous years, there is NO additional fee to set up camp on Tuesday after noon!

When do I need to check out?
All participants are asked to clean their sites and check out by 12pm PST (noon) on Sunday, June 30th. We understand that times may vary if you require dozer assistance. Please plan to get an early start and be aware there could be a bottleneck at the air-up station and a short delay waiting for a dozer to become available. We ask that everyone be patient as our staff and operators will be working as fast as possible to assist each camper.

Is there a charge for extra vehicles or trailers?
There are no additional charges for extra vehicles or trailers in Area 13, however, all vehicles and equipment must fit within your reserved space. There will be no overnight/overflow parking available for campers.

Will a dozer be available?
To increase efficiency, we hope that many of the campers will do research and be prepared to access the sand without the use of a dozer. However, if you don’t feel comfortable doing so, we will have multiple dozers on-site to assist campers. Please be aware that dozers are not fast and if there are a large number of campers needing assistance, you may have to wait in line. The dozer service is FREE, but tips are welcome.

Do I need a flag on my vehicle(s) whether I’m driving under my vehicle’s power or getting towed to my spot?
Yes. It might seem silly but once your tires hit the sand all standard dune rules apply. This includes, but is not limited to, an ORV tag and flag. Even though our event is held on private property, many of the sand campsites are located on Forest Service land. The Forest Service has been extremely supportive of the event, and we look forward to working with them for years to come. Please help us maintain this relationship by following the rules of the sand and neighboring properties while enjoying our event.

How do I access the PREMIER Sand Camping area?
Area 13 can be accessed through the Horsfall day use lot. Once you arrive at our southwest gate, located on Horsfall Beach Road, you will be greeted and guided to the Horsfall day use lot by our UTV Takeover security team. We have created a staging area concept that will accommodate eleven 40’ trailers at any given time where you can safely air down your truck and trailer before entering the sand. Compared to last year when everyone was required to use a dozer, this year you will be asked to enter the sand under the power of your own vehicle similar to any other weekend throughout the year. If you don’t feel comfortable doing so, simply ask for dozer assistance from a UTV Takeover official. This small but important change will greatly reduce if not eliminate any traffic issues on Horsfall Beach Road and significantly cut down wait times.

Does my PREMIER campsite have utilities?
No. These are dry camping sites located on the sand. You will need to bring in your own water. We recommend filling your tanks in Reedsport at the marina before heading south into Coos Bay. Gray/Blackwater is not permitted to be dumped in the sand. If you need your tanks serviced or filled during the event, please call Roto-Rooter at (541) 290-0775. They will be camped out on the sand and would be happy to service your trailer for a small fee.

Are campfires allowed in Area 13?
Campfires are allowed on the sand. Participants are asked to dig a hole for the fire and fill it in at the end of the event. We asked participants not to throw any cans or garbage in the campfire. Any unused firewood remaining at the end of the event must be taken with you when you leave. Please help us leave the dunes better than we found them!

Are there dumpsters in Area 13?
Areas 13 will have access to a 20-yard dumpster located in the southeast corner of the Horsfall day use lot during the event. We ask that all participants help keep the dunes clean by using this dumpster during the event.

Are there restrooms/showers in Area 13?
Areas 13 will have access to portable restrooms located near the southwest corner of the event race tracks. Showers are NOT available in this area.

Is there a Campground Host in Area 13?
Areas 13 will NOT have a Campground Host. However, this area will be monitored throughout the day by our UTV Takeover security team with assistance from the local Forest Service and Sheriff.
