UTVs can practically go anywhere. Their small frame can fit through narrow trails that other vehicles can’t, and their powerful engines can make them cross the roughest and bumpiest terrain. This makes them perfect for taking you to those hard-to-reach camping spots. So, if you’ve been thinking of going camping with your UTV, here are some tips to prepare you for an adventure.

Plan Your Destination

While your UTV is up for the challenge, when it’s you against nature for a few days, it’s important to plan ahead. Therefore, before leaving your house, do some research on the camping spot you want to visit. 

Make sure you answer the following questions:

• How far away is it?
• Are UTVs permitted on the site?
• Is overnight camping allowed?
• What kind of terrain is on the route?
• What is the weather forecast?
• Is there telephone service in the area?

You don’t want to be surprised when reaching your destination that the trails are for bicycles and hikers only. And even if it’s open for UTVs, some terrain could be more technical than what you expect for a relaxing weekend getaway. When you’ve found the perfect trail for you, make sure you tell a friend or family member your plan and route, including a rough timeline.

Pack Smart

When packing for your trip, the primary goal is to pack small portions of your essentials, just enough to last you for the amount of time you’ll be camping. Pack plenty of water, food, and clothes. You should also carry a GPS, a map, flashlight, extra fuel, and a set of handy tools. Strap everything down, securely and tight. The last thing you want is losing things along the way over a bump or rough trail.

Prepare Your UTV

Your UTV is your avenue to fun around the campsite. Therefore, preparing it for the trails is crucial. Otherwise, you might spend most of your camping days at a mechanic shop, or be stranded, which is even worse. 

All you need to do is conduct a pre-ride inspection. This lets you catch mechanical issues early and get them fixed before your trip. Test anything that could break down in a short test drive. Check that all your lights are working. Test your brakes. Look at your tires and ensure they have enough pressure and tread. Make sure everything is ready to handle the rigors of a long trip.
