Participant Tips

Good to Know Before You Go

Quick answers to the most common participant questions

Do I need to air down my tires?

Yes — air down to 17–20 lbs. of tire pressure for the beach. Bring a portable compressor to air back up afterward.

Can I bring my dog?

Yes. Dogs must be secured in the vehicle during the Beach Crawl. They're welcome at the Convention Center on a leash.

Where should I stay?

Book a condo or hotel early — reserve before the event to avoid last-minute pricing. Properties across the bridge may offer lower rates.

Where do I stage for the Beach Crawl?

Head to the Ocean City Inlet parking lot. Go to the north end — staff will guide you to the staging area.

Do I get discounts at after parties?

Yes — all official OC Jeep Fest events give you a discount when you show your badge. See the event program for party details.

Where do I park my trailer?

If you trailer your Jeep in, text Brad at 443-366-5944 and he'll direct you to a suitable location.
