Otros entretenimientosWelcome to UTV Takeover - The largest offroad event in the country! Where are the South POD camping spots located? Areas 3 are referred to as our South Pod Sand campsites. These 200 campsites are located just northwest of Banshee Hill and just south of the Dan VanSlyke OHV Staging lot between the east tree line and Salmon Harbor Drive. While the pods are outlined, these campsites will NOT be marked or pre-assigned. You are free to park anywhere in the Pod and parking/camping areas will be first come, first served. This area is great for people with larger groups that are looking to circle up, be close to the event, and want easy access to the open dunes. How much are the South POD camping passes? Each pass is $200. How many days are the South POD camping passes good for? Each camping pass is good for six days and five nights starting at noon on Tuesday, August 11th and ending at noon on Sunday, August 16th, 2026. How can I purchase South POD camping passes? Camping passes can be pre-purchased through our website by using the link on this page. If passes do not sell out before the event, they can be purchased at the entry gate when you arrive. Traditionally, these campsites sell out quickly once available for sale. Does my South POD Sand camping pass purchase include any 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 waiting times at the gate. Do I need event entry wristbands to access my camping spot? Yes, please be aware everybody 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 my campsite? The event starts at 9 am on Wednesday, but you can check in starting Tuesday, August 11th at 12 pm PST (noon). Unlike previous years, there is NO additional fee to set up camp on Tuesday afternoon! When do I need to check out? All participants are asked to clean their sites and check out by 12 pm PST (noon) on Sunday, August 16th. We understand that times may vary if you require dozer assistance. Please plan to get an early start and be aware as there could be a bottleneck at the air station or 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. Does each vehicle in my group need a pass or just the ones pulling trailers? Yes. Each vehicle within your pod group will need a pass. The County has a land-use agreement that only allows a certain number of vehicles on the sand at any given time. We monitor the number of vehicles by limiting the number of passes we sell. Vehicle passes will be checked at the gate before entering the sand. There will be a designated day-use area on the sand, but no overnight parking will be allowed. 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 you. The dozer service is FREE but tips are welcome. Please be aware that dozers are inherently slow, and you may have to wait in line for assistance. Do I need a flag on my vehicle while driving under my vehicle's own power or when getting towed to my campsite? 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. How do I access my South POD campsite? This area can be accessed from Salmon Harbor Drive just south of South Jetty Road. Does my South POD 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 before heading south to Winchester. Gray/Blackwater is not permitted to be dumped in the sand. If you need your tanks dumped or filled during the event, please call Roto-Rooter at (541) 290-0775. They will be camped on the sand and would be happy to service your trailer for a small fee. Are campfires allowed in the Pod Sand Camping areas? Campfires are allowed on the sand. Participants are asked to bring their own above-ground fire pit or dig a fire pit in the sand. We asked participants not to throw any cans or garbage in the campfire. Glass bottles and pallets are not allowed in the sand camping area or in the firepits. 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 this area? Areas 3 will have access to two (1) 30-yard dumpsters, located at the main entrance. We ask that all participants help keep the dunes clean by using these dumpsters during the event. Are there restrooms/showers in this area? Areas 3 will have access to thirteen (8 portable restrooms and one (1) hand washing station, located at the main entrance. Showers are NOT available in this area, but campers will have access to showers located in Half Moon Bay. Is there a Campground Host in this area? Areas 3 will NOT have a Campground Host. However, this area will be monitored throughout the event by our UTV Takeover security team.
