Camp RZR Glamis 2016: Dune Builds, Demo Rides and Jake Owen

Camp RZR 2016

Camp RZR returned to Glamis over Halloween weekend 2016 for its fifth Southern California gathering. Polaris brought demo rides, vendors, giveaways and activities to the Imperial Sand Dunes, while Jake Owen performed for the crowd. We spent time at the event and out in the dunes, where some of our favorite custom builds were doing what they were built to do: riding.

Inside Camp RZR Glamis 2016

For RZR owners, Camp RZR offered more than a place to gather between dune rides. Visitors could take demo rides in Polaris off-road vehicles, explore vendor displays, enter giveaways and check out the show-and-shine entries. Three Polaris RZRs were among the event prizes.

The on-site service center was busy throughout the weekend. Owners could have recall work completed there at no charge, and the crew handled other service needs to help keep vehicles running in the dunes.

A dunk tank raised donations for the American Sand Association, which advocates for access to the Imperial Sand Dunes. The prize wheel, demo rides and show-and-shine gave visitors plenty to see before heading back onto the sand.

Custom Builds Out in the Dunes

The builds we found away from the event grounds were a highlight of the weekend. Seeing them out on the sand gave us a better look than a parked display could. Our photos include the XTC Powersports Hell RAZR, Sandcraft Trophy RZR, Wolf Designs Werewolf, and vehicles from Shock Therapy and Assault Industries.

We also spotted the Polaris RZR T-shirt cannon at Oldsmobile Hill, plus builds from Bikeman Performance, Grounded 4 and SDR Motorsports. The SDR vehicle was a Can-Am Maverick X3—a reminder that there was plenty to see in Glamis beyond RZRs that weekend.
