Bronco Basecamp at King of the Hammers 2026

• Reserve a campsite
• Buy a day pass

For two wild weeks every year, the dry lakebed of Johnson Valley transforms into something unreal for King of the Hammers — a full-blown, off-grid city in the middle of the California desert: Hammertown. Built from trailers, tents, tools, and raw grit, Hammertown is where racers wrench, fans roam, brands launch, and the entire off-road world comes together to celebrate the hardest one-day race on the planet.

In Hammertown, Bronco Nation sets up Bronco Basecamp, where Bronco owners camp, go on trail drives with Bronco Off-Roadeo guides, and watch the Ford Racing teams navigate their Broncos across dirt, rocks, and sand. Register to hang out with the community, attend drives, enjoy meals and campfires, and do special behind-the-scenes activities with Ford.
