Camp Jeep® San Diego Returns
The Jeep® brand returns with Camp Jeep San Diego,® a unique, interactive, off-road experience for consumers (and thrill seekers) attending the 2023 San Diego International Auto Show.
Buckle up, because Camp Jeep is the ultimate offroad driving test, and has been one of the most popular experiential events at the show for more than 10 years. The 35,000-square foot exhibit gives auto show attendees a chance to experience the extreme off-road capabilities of Jeep vehicles inside the San Diego Convention Center.
It takes more than 12 trailers of freight and materials to create the Camp Jeep Track, and the course is comprised of several obstacles that simulate some of the rigorous testing that Jeep vehicles endure before customers get behind the wheel. This provides consumers with a firsthand look at the capability standards of Jeep vehicles in the following categories: Ground Clearance, Traction, Stability, Articulation, Breakover, Off-camber and Suspension.
At Camp Jeep San Diego, professional 4x4 drivers allow riders to experience the off-road capabilities of Jeep brand vehicles, including the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4xe or Grand Cherokee Trailhawk 4xe, allowing consumers to experience the legendary capabilities of a Jeep in electric mode. The Gladiator Rubicon will also be available for test rides.
At this year’s show, a new Jeep Mountain is being unveiled, featuring a thrilling hill ascent, where passengers experience traction capabilities while climbing the 23-foot high, 40-degree mountain, providing views of the entire auto show floor.
Each exciting ride is approximately five minutes long, and participating riders will be automatically entered in the Stellantis US National Giveaway for a chance to win $100,000 toward any eligible Stellantis US vehicle.
Camp Jeep participants 17 years and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and be at least 44 inches tall. Camp Jeep will be open during all public hours for the duration of the 2023 San Diego International Auto Show.
