Camp RZR 2025 Recap: Glamis Sand Dunes, Vendor Row & Real-World Installs
We rolled into Camp RZR 2025 with the crew from RideNow Goodyear, setting up for our second straight year of dealer and vendor support at the Glamis Sand Dunes. The air was already buzzing with turbos and the sound of paddles digging into the sand. This year hit different — leaner crowds, but stronger energy. Maybe it was Halloween weekend keeping some folks home, but the real ones showed up.We returned to Camp RZR 2025 at the Glamis Sand Dunes for our second consecutive year supporting RideNow Goodyear on Vendor Row. While attendance appeared slightly lighter than previous years, rider engagement remained strong. Our focus stayed the same: on-site installs, direct conversations with riders, and real-world fitment across current Polaris RZR platforms.
What Is Camp RZR?
Camp RZR is Polaris’ annual off-road event held at the Glamis Sand Dunes in Southern California. The event combines riding, Vendor Row installations, OEM support, and evening entertainment, drawing Polaris RZR owners from across the Southwest.
The Real Side of Camp RZR 2025
Camp RZR often appears online through highlight reels and short edits. However, the on-site experience centers on rider conversations, hands-on installs, and practical setup discussions. That’s where we set up with RideNow Goodyear, offering free installs for riders who actually put their machines to work. Many riders asked about clamp sizing, mirror placement relative to A-pillar geometry, and accessory load considerations. These conversations reflected the same structural challenges outlined in our UTV Mirror Engineering Guide. We sold a ton of billet mirrors and fire extinguisher mounts, and it wasn’t just about transactions. It was about talking setups, hearing stories, and seeing our gear bolted onto rigs that actually hit the dunes.

Glamis Energy — Down Attendance, Still Strong Vibes
The sun came up over Glamis with that hazy desert glow that makes everything feel alive. The crowds were smaller this year — probably the Halloween overlap — but the ones who showed up were the core of the community. The dunes stayed busy, Vendor Row never felt empty, and everyone who came out was there for the right reasons. Gilmore Offroad had a full spread of parts for sale, keeping riders stocked and rolling, while Polaris continued its on-site service support tradition, repairing RZR platforms throughout the weekend on a first-come basis. Between that, the smell of race fuel, and the sound of turbo cars winding out across the flats, it still felt like home.
Partners, Conversations, and Collabs
Camp RZR isn’t just about riding — it’s where ideas and partnerships take shape. This year, we sat down with Cardo ORV and Upfit UTV for on-site interviews that’ll debut later this season as part of our Brands We Know series. These conversations go deeper than product plugs; they highlight the people driving innovation in the off-road world. Between interviews, we also met with multiple OEM teams to discuss our patented clamping system and future fitment opportunities. In-person events like Camp RZR create space for direct technical discussions that do not happen through online channels. Conversations with OEM teams and industry partners focused on clamp architecture, fitment expansion, and long-term platform compatibility. — face to face, in the sand, surrounded by the machines that bring everyone together.
Wrapping Up Camp RZR 2025
As the weekend wound down, the dunes slowly quieted, but the energy stuck with us. Camp RZR 2025 might have seen fewer crowds this year, but the right people were there — riders, builders, and dealers who live and breathe this scene. For us at Dirtbag Brands, it wasn’t just another weekend in Glamis. Camp RZR 2025 reinforced the importance of direct rider feedback, live installation testing, and face-to-face industry collaboration. Field experience in environments like Glamis continues to inform future fitment development and product refinement. From installs in the sand to the conversations that’ll shape what’s next, this event reminded us why we build the gear we do — for the ones who actually use it.
