Question 10

Will a dozer be available?

Accepted Answer

To increase efficiency, we hope that many of the campers will do research and be prepared to access the beach without the use of a dozer. However, we will have a dozer on-site to assist you if you should get stuck. The dozer service is FREE but tips are welcome. Please be aware that with such a large event, there may be other campers being assisted by the dozer team and you may be required to wait for another camper to be unhooked before they can assist your vehicle. If sand conditions are not favorable for Class A RV/Motorhomes, you may be asked to relocate to the Beach Pod camping where the ground is more packed.

Accepted Answer

Areas 15 can be accessed via Sand Hollow Rd., east of the rental shop. Once you arrive at our front entrance gate, you will be greeted and guided to the VIP Sand Camping area by our UTV Takeover security team. We have created a staging concept that will accommodate fifteen 40’ trailers at any given time where you can safely air down your truck and trailer before entering the beach. You will be asked to enter the beach under your vehicle's power, similar to any other weekend throughout the year. If you don't feel comfortable doing so, simply ask for dozer assistance from a Takeover official.
