Everything you need to know to get the most from your Camp RZR experience.
General Information
Camp RZR was created as a way for Polaris to say thank you to the side-by-side community. None of this would possible without the enthusiasm and dedication of the ORV and side-by-side community. Camp RZR exists not only for you but because of you—so allow us to say thank you with free demo rides, kids events, prize giveaways and much more.
No, this event is open to anyone and everyone who wants to attend regardless of your preferred choice of wheels for the dunes.
Camp RZR is located within the Imperial County Sand Dunes in Glamis, CA. Directly behind the Glamis Beach Store. The nearest airport is located in San Diego, an approximate 2.5 hour drive from the event.
Camp RZR is located within the Imperial County Sand Dunes. Most people choose to camp in an RV or trailer on BLM land. Or stay at a hotel in nearby towns including El Centro and Brawley. If you are planning to camp, we recommend checking local regulations and follow any county and BLM rules.
Registration and Prizing
Camp RZR is free to attend.
There are plenty of ways to get free swag at Camp RZR. As you enter the event, stop at one of the registration booths near the entrance gates to register on-site. You will be given a Star Card with a QR code assigned to you. This will allow you to take advantage of all the ways to win throughout the weekend. At registration, you can spin the prize wheel where you could win small to large prizes. We'll also be running the Dune Dollars Cash Grab booth several times a day for lucky winners. We have crews out in the dunes handing out swag with fellow riders. And be sure to try the "Ride and Seek" scavenger hunt using RIDE COMMAND for additional prizes.
If you attended Camp RZR last year or registered at other Polaris events this year, you should have a Star Card already. You can simply scan your QR code to check in and claim your prizes. Be sure to locate your card or QR code ahead of the event - we recommend searching your texts for the QR code image.
There is no pre-registration. You can only register in-person/on-site.

Service Area
Service repairs will be performed at the discretion of Polaris. It is our goal to keep as many Camp RZR attendees driving their machines as possible, making extensive service jobs unfeasible to perform on site.
Not necessarily - service is based on the type and extent of the issue, volume of vehicles requiring assistance, and what can be reasonably completed on site.
Major repairs or maintenance that fall outside the on-site service capabilities should be completed by a RZR authorized dealership.
Polaris' goal is to keep riders riding during Camp RZR. Due to the volume of people and machines at the event, it is not possible to complete every vehicle repair on-site.
Work that will not be performed includes and is not limited to: engine service, transmission service, gear case service, welding/fabrication, cosmetic repairs, basic maintenance (oil changes, tune-ups, etc.), fluid changes, repairs of aftermarket (non-Polaris) parts, diagnosing squeaks, rattles, clunks.
