Is this event for Jeeps only? No. This event is open to all vehicle makes and models that are used for outdoor camping, off-roading, or overlanding. We simply came up with the name "Jasper Jeep Jam" because we liked the way it sounded, it was simple, and we thought it had a nice ring to it. My wife has a Toyota 4-Runner and I have a Jeep Wrangler; we will both be there with our vehicles; and there will be Jeeps, 4-Runners, Tacomas, and all types of vehicles.
Are 4-wheelers and side by sides allowed? No. Only Highway legal vehicles are allowed on the event grounds.
How many people are included with one single ticket purchase? A single ticket purchase (both the 1-day pass and 3-day pass) are for the one vehicle and one driver. Kids 12 and under are free with either of those two options (3-day pass or 1-day pass). Example: Me, my wife, and 3 children want to come spend the weekend at your event. You need to purchase one 3-day pass, one extra person ticket for the wife, and if the kids are 12 and under they are free.

Do we need to have a special roof-top tent or a special type of "overlanding" vehicle to camp out at this event? Absolutely not. We all start somewhere. We like to use the fancy term "overlanding" now-a-days, I guess, because that's the official or popular term for 4-wheel drive camping out in the woods. Folks have been "overlanding" for years and it doesn't require fancy vehicle set-ups. A vehicle (preferably able to drive through off-road trails), a ground tent, ice chest, a Coleman stove, lantern or flashlight, and a chair to sit in; are the basics of overlanding equipment. And like any hobby, we can choose to make it simple and buy the basics of what is necessary, we can choose to spend every last dollar we make on it, or land somewhere in the middle. It's more about getting to and finding new places and spending time there to enjoy the wonderful outdoors. This event is intended to help like-minded folks connect and spend some time together, learn a few things from each other or from our several classes, see some available products for overlanding, enjoy some entertainment and food, and have a great time. If this is "up your alley" or sounds interesting and want to learn more; come join us.... We look forward to seeing your there!!!
