IT'S ALL IN THE
PREPWORK
First and foremost, Croom is in the middle of nowhere. You need to bring your supplies and make sure everything is good BEFORE you leave civilization. That’s why we made this simple checklist to help you along your way.
Unless you ride an EV, you need to get fuel if you wanna rip the trails! We recommend fueling up and bringing extra gas with you BEFORE you enter the park. However, if you end up having too much fun and run out, there’s options!
Head on over to our Fuel page to find out where these places are!
Doesn’t matter if you are visiting for a few hours or are here for a month, you will need to fuel your body as well as your tank! We put together some local tips for your crew to find whatever you need, from late night munchies to a thanksgiving meal!
Nothing is worse than making the trip to Croom only to end up in the middle of the lousiest weather imaginable. Make sure you hop on your favorite weather app and check to make sure you don’t ride in a hurricane!
Us locals like to stick together when things happen at Croom, we tent to talk about them! From downed trees, closed trails and daily happenings, here are a few places to look to make sure you know what to expect when coming to Croom.
Make sure you do a thorough check of all your toys before you make the trip here. We do have suggestions on local repair shops and pro shops in case you do end up breaking something. But time and time again have we seen riders so excited to get ripping on the trails and their moto wouldn’t start. Take a look at our rentals and service if you end up needing anything!
Been a while since you rode? Are you sure that those boots still fit little Jimmy’s feet? We suggest that you do a good check on your riding gear from helmet to boot before you go get lost in the 2,600 acres of dirt bike heaven!
Its critical that you and your crew are legal in the park! If you have any questions about passes you can call us directly or head over to the official park pass page to learn more about the different kinds you can pick up. From a day pass to an annual pass, there is something there to make you legal, even if you ride like you stole it!!!
