Ride Royal Blue ATV Resort Information & Rules
Before you visit, make sure to read our general information and rules.
Note: As enthusiasts of off-road riding, we plead with everyone to please take pride in the privilege we all enjoy in these beautiful mountains—including carrying out all trash! It ruins everyone's experience and the future of our parks to see litter on the trail system. Together, with your help, we can carry on sharing these adventures with future generations.
OHV Area Information & Requirements
The Royal Blue, Sundquist, New River, and Tackett Creek OHV areas consist of over 200,000 acres and are accessible directly from our Campground.
Safety Orange apparel is required on the head and chest of each rider during hunting season, which runs from the first weekend of October until the 2nd weekend of January. Safety hats and vests can be purchased from our General Store.
TWRA requires that helmets be worn by children under the age of 18 while riding. Ride Royal Blue staff will enforce the use of helmets for children on the resort grounds. Children should only operate age appropriate machines and the resort does not allow children to cruise the campground. Safety is paramount at Ride Royal Blue and we strongly suggest the use of helmets for everyone.
