Time to start planning for our second Rausch trip this year.!
This trip is open to club members and non-club members.
The planning has begun for our trip down to Rausch Creek Off Road Park this October
Rausch is by far the BEST place you can go to wheel that's less than a days drive to get to!
About Rausch Creek

Camping info
Just a few hints/reminders for those who have may not camped at Rausch Creek before.
The camping is "primitive".
The only "amenities" are a place to pitch your tent, a fire ring, picnic tables, porta-potties.
On site camping is included at no additional cost.
Be sure to bring...
- A comfy Chair to sit in around the fire
- Water for cooking, washing ,etc. There is no water available there.
If you want to shower I will be providing the hot shower facility. All you need to do is provide your own water for it.
Water containers can be refilled at the nearby truck stop.
- Trash bags to pack out and carry home your rubbish. There are no trash facilities on the property.
- Money for your RC "membership" and the daily entrance fee. See the Rausch Creek website above for details.
Parking is adjacent to the campsite so you will have easy access to your Jeep and tow rig
