Camper Passes - This applies to ANY camping vehicle with living quarters, (ie; RV, Trailer, Cab-Over, Toter-Home) entering Johnson Valley during KOH Week. Each camping vehicle will require a camping pass, which is $20 in advance or at the gate.

You can purchase your Camper Passes HERE!

This pass is good for the duration of KOH and is required of ALL attendees of KOH (spectators, pit crew, teams, etc.) with a camping vehicle.

Camping is primitive and first-come, first served for spectators outside of Hammertown. Registered teams will still be assigned addresses in Hammertown.

This is a separate pass from the car/truck/pit bike parking passes required of teams that drive vehicles inside of Hammertown.

Spectating:  Hammertown promises to be bigger and better than ever in 2020. There will be multiple live jumbotrons, vendors open during the day and plenty of food vendors. There are also port-a-potties in Hammertown.

Johnson Valley OHV area is open to everyone. The race course and within 150 feet of the race course is closed to the public on race days. The spectator areas are set up to give spectators a chance to see the race at a safe distance from the action. Many of these spectator areas are the same as in prior years where people have enjoyed watching the race.  

Where does my spectator fee go?
$190000 - blm permit (based upon estimated number of spectators)
$40000 - port a potties
$20000 - medical personnel (based on number of spectators)
$22000 - jumbotron for spectators who don’t have vehicles to go to canyons
$30000 - security
$10000 – dust control caused by number of vehicles in Johnson Valley
$20000 fencing for spectator safety

Camping: The cost to camp in Johnson Valley during KOH is $20 per Camping Vehicle (RV, Toter-home, Trailer, Cab-Over) It is dry camping, but there will be water trucks and dump trucks roaming the area that will service your vehicles for a fee. Most of Mean's Dry Lake Bed will be filled by Hammertown. The race teams, vendors, and Hammer King HQ will all be on Mean's Dry Lake. Johnson Valley is an open OHV area, so other than Hammer Town, campers are able to camp essentially wherever they would like to as long as it's not within 150' of the race course.
